De La Hoya-Mayweather is Sold Out!

[SAN D13GO VILLAN]

I really wanted to go to this fight but the prices are insane! I wonder if this fight will do better then the Lewis vs Tyson fight?

2 days eh.... De La Hoya's popularity is absolutely insane.

Not even two days, the report says it took but 3 hours for them to sell out.

Oscar-Floyd sold out!

Tickets for the highly anticipated super fight between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather sold out in three hours Saturday afternoon at MGM Grand's box office and thru TicketMaster's website. More than 5,400 tickets for the fight, Saturday, May 5 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, were devoured by fans eager to help establish the record-breaking live gate of $19 million. The previous record was $16,860,300 for the November 13, 1999 Lennox Lewis vs. Evander Holyfield II championship event at the Thomas and Mack Center. "This is a huge success right out of the gate, unparalleled in boxing and underscores the importance and magnitude of this sporting event," said Richard Schaefer, Chief Executive Officer of Golden Boy Promotions. "We are now in the process of setting up a record number of closed circuit locations in Las Vegas to ensure that any and all boxing fans can be part of this 'Super Fight Weekend.' I urge fans to make their reservations now to be in Las Vegas on May 5."

Hate to say it, but it's bull**** that only several thousand seats were up for sale to the public, and that also has a small part in why it sold out so quickly.

[niceguy45]

don't you find it amazing that the fight is already sold out......
i once heard something about promoting for an event, but i guess no promotion is needed for this event, amazing
