Honest Question. Would Floyd sell out The Forum against a Wade-esque opponent?

Ummm, he could easily do so against Cotto or Canelo, or even Pacquiao for that matter but neither are man enough to fight him. That still wouldn't prove your point :pat: Berto was a 50-1 underdog (a fight no one cared about) and the live gate was still 10 million, The live gate of May Pac was upwards of 70 million. GGG can't do that against a no-hoper and probably never will. If he ever does then 10 million against a no hoper then let me know. The reality is GGG is not in Floyds bracket of stardom, he's doing well for a foreigner with very little English but in terms of ticket selling and live gate numbers he doesn't have a seat at the same table as Floyd. Won't stop you from arguing though lol. Floyd needs a popular opponent at the right time to sell. He could never sell on his own that's y he was such a great business minded fighter. U can ask yourself then was he really the ppv draw that everybody thought he was? U been hoodwinked, bamboozled lol By your logic no one (except maybe Tyson) could sell on their own or do you have an explanation as to why every Floyd PPV opponent has their highest PPV numbers against him?

Couldn't "even" do that? :lol1: Mate, let's see GGG go to the MGM and try to get $10million out of the gate alone. If Mayweather took GGG's pricing, he would 1000000% sell out any arena. Ummm, he could easily do so against Cotto or Canelo, or even Pacquiao for that matter but neither are man enough to fight him.

The MGM only holds around 14,000 maximum for boxing events and he couldn't even do that. The venues in L.A. hold much more. I mean, sure there are a lot of self-hating liberals who reside here but aside from them and the TMT swag crew, I don't see people having much interesting in him. The Mexicans would rather head to Dodgers Stadium to catch a ball game. Couldn't "even" do that? :lol1: Mate, let's see GGG go to the MGM and try to get $10million out of the gate alone.

At GGG priced tickets? He would sell it out 10 times over against you The MGM only holds around 14,000 maximum for boxing events and he couldn't even do that. The venues in L.A. hold much more.

You just don't get it. By saying Floyd hasn't fought outside Vegas in 11 years is a testament to how much of a draw he is. He sold less tickets for Berto than GGG did for Wade but still made more money at the gate. And more than tripled GGG's PPV. Even Pacquiao's last fight (which was considered a flop) did a higher gate and way higher PPV. You're living in a boxing bubble. Everybody doesn't hate Floyd and love GGG. There is a reason K2 hasn't put GGG in Vegas. He could probably sell out the cosmopolitan bar. Or Mandalay. But the big boys fight at MGM. There's levels to this bruh I agree with you in a way! Froid has no reason to fight outside of Vegas! He lives there, trains there it's a home town advantage. Everyone in sports wants that! What I'm alluding to is the suspected use of Xylocaine. Many believe Floyd JR because of his preeminent spot in the sport of boxing, has been allowed to fight exclusively in Las Vegas on his terms. This means the perceived notion that he uses Xylocaine on his hands before every fight. The reason this is a big deal is because Xylocaine is a banned substance in every state except Nevada. USADA, somehow, granted Mayweather an exception for the injections on May 19, nearly 3 weeks after the fight for the injections, citing the fighter's need to recover from dehydration. Not only is that preposterous and something that any fighter can contend, but USADA has no authority to grant an "exception" of this kind. Once again I claim masking agent! Why because my ass is not stuck in Froids ass! In light of the fact that Floyd took an intravenous injection of saline and vitamins that was banned under World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines, while going out of his way to insist Pacquiao not be allowed an injection of Toradol on a shoulder he knew was injured. I'm not say Froid is a cheat but the evidence does not look good! What a retard. Based in what Rain Man! http://memeshappen.com/media/created/Yahthat-was-funny-really-funny-meme-20357.jpg

Get off Floyd's dick and take a percocet. Gayweather Berto didn't sell ****! And now JR wants us to pay for Danny "sweating to the oldies" Garcia! Kendall Holt, Érik "El Terrible" Morales, Amir Khan, Zabdiel "Zab" Judah, Lucas Matthysse, Mauricio Herrera, Lamont Peterson, Paul "Paulie" Malignaggi and his last fight with "The Ghost!" Unless you are totally naive Froid will never fight outside of Nevada or Vegas for that matter! Mexican fans sell out Los Angeles venues because of their countrymen some of who are adopted like GGG! What a retard.

You may not like Floyd but there is a reason most of the biggest fights happen in Vegas, where have most of Pac's highest profile fights taken place? the answer is Vegas. You get he occasional mega fight elsewhere but for the most part it's vegas. Mayweather Berto while a financial flop due to Floyd's guarantee, did a live gate of over 10 million. That is 3-4 times more than the likely result of GGG-Wade. Mayweather had thousands come to see him in Russia for an exhibition lol, you're saying he wouldn't sell out LA because the Mexicans won't come to see him? ... even if that's true (it really isn't) I didn't know only Mexicans live in LA. I guess there must be a ton of Mexicans on the LA Lakers then since they get full stadiums night after night. Argue with facts not blind emotion. If Floyd can sell in Vegas at those prices then they'll need a whole new stadium to support the tickets sold at GGG prices. C'mon man Let's not be naive! When was the last time Froid fought outside of Vegas! At least 11 years! Why C'mon let's not be stupid! Why are you comparing GGG vs Wade to any Froid PPV? Might as well compare Ortiz Berto to GGG Wade? I want to see Froid outside of Vegas to prove some of my theories wrong! Fat chance. Besides I grew up in the Southland it's not a Mexican thing it's a boxing thing! Carson has been good for boxing. As much as hate Saturdays main event it's a good card and well worth the price minus the main event. I grew up going to the Olympic Auditorium and the Forum. The BELASCO THEATER is not too shabby either!

Next they'll be saying Mayweather won't sell out the O2 in London lol.

He sells out Vegas. There's a reason K2 hasn't tried GGG in Vegas yet. Like Floyd said about the last Pacquiao fight "This ain't no Mayweather fight weekend. There's still rooms left." What Floyd did in boxing isn't normal and probably will never be done again. Get off Floyd's dick and take a percocet. Gayweather Berto didn't sell ****! And now JR wants us to pay for Danny "sweating to the oldies" Garcia!

So essentially everyone agrees that at Floyd's normal ticket prices he'd fail to sell out a large venue like The Forum in L.A. Gotcha.

The Mexicans in L.A. love Floyd. He'd sell out easily. Fail thread.

Do you honestly think that floyd can't sell out the forum today? If he sold the tickets at the same price as the Berto tickets against another Berto level opponent, than he might not sell out the venue. If he sells the tickets at the same price as GGG-Lemieux, against whoever, he'd sell out the venue.

Just imagine if Floyd would have been from Kasakhstan...

Yes, at the same prices as the GGG tickets...

I assumed the question was about if Floyd would do that if he were to arrange the fight now, rather than years ago. But I already agreed that the ticket prices explain the disparity in volume of tickets. Yes yes. Another poster already pointed this out and I conceded the point. No need to beat down a dead horse. Do you honestly think that floyd can't sell out the forum today?

Who in the hell cares?

Floyd was the no.1 selling boxing attraction. I think he'd sell out just about anywhere in the US These people don't understand. Floyd was selling out weigh ins and press conferences. Of course he'd sell out a venue against whoever he was fighting. Mayweather vs Canelo had sold out press conferences all over the country http://www.boxingscene.com/uploads/67188/002_Canelo_Alvarez.jpg
