            But Diaz-Katsidis and Marquez-Casamayor are already doing massive ticket sales compared to this. Lol

              I think the Gas prices is whats killing the ticket sales.

              Also Boxing fans are POOR, UFC fans come from rich fratboy preppy families thats why they can attend every event because there folks are loaded.

              The sad thing is the pacquiao vs Diaz tickets are pretty cheap even for front row like 400 bucks or something!

              While other events the front row is at least 800 or 1 thousand Gs.

                Sellout seen in Manny’s title quest
                By Joaquin Henson
                Wednesday, June 25, 2008

                The expectation is tickets will be sold out in Manny Pacquiao’s quest for the WBC lightweight title held by David Diaz at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas this Saturday (Sunday morning, Manila).

                “At the moment, we’re up to 70 percent sold,” said a Pacquiao insider. “We expect a sellout or at least a near sellout. But the big money is in the pay-per-view sales. At first, we estimated hits of 275,000 to 300,000. Now, we’re looking at 400,000 and we hope to surpass the sales for Manny’s fight against (Juan Manuel) Marquez.”

                Tickets are priced from $100 to $600 at face value. Internet sellers are charging $1,950 for a ticket in the first 10 rows. A pay-per-view subscription is $49.95. To prevent black marketers from hoarding, box office outlets are limiting individual purchases to eight tickets.

                First-day sales reached 7,000 tickets. The Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino arena has a capacity of 12,000.

                Pan Asian Boxing Association lightweight champion Dennis Laurente of the Johnny Elorde stable is the only Filipino seeing action in the undercard. Laurente, 30, takes on Pacquiao sparmate Steve Quiñonez in an eight-rounder. He arrived from Manila last week and tapered off at the Wild Card Gym with trainers Buboy Fernandez and Nonoy Neri.

                A Fil-Am prospect, Hawaii-born Carlos Tangaro, is also appearing in the show. He was brought in to spar with Pacquiao from a referral by Oklahoma matchmaker Sean Gibbons. Tangaro, a left-handed superlightweight based in Palm Springs, turned pro last February and has a 2-0 record. He was recently signed to a contract by Pacquiao’s promotional company.

                Another Filipino, Aaron Melgarejo, was pulled out of the card and will take on Manny Perez of Vallejo, California, in an eight-rounder at the Orleans Hotel in Las Vegas tomorrow night (Friday morning, Manila).

                Melgarejo, the Philippine superfeatherweight champion, has an 11-5-1 record, with three KOs. His most impressive win was a decision over Gerry Peñalosa protégé Mike Farenas. Melgarejo’s grandfather Oscar Reyes was a former Oriental featherweight champion now living in Los Angeles and will be at ringside for the bout. Melgarejo, 24, is the nephew of former Oriental superfeatherweight titleholder Tiger Ari.

                Ticket sales got a boost when Diaz was introduced in promotional tours to Filipino communities in Phoenix, Houston, San Francisco and San Diego.

                Franklin McNeil of the New Jersey Star-Ledger said there are three keys to the fight:

                “Activity – Pacquiao is a very busy fighter and most of his punches are power shots, including the jab. Diaz must match his aggression and land counterpunches.

                “Weight – Diaz is naturally bigger and should lean on Pacquiao as much as possible in an effort to wear him down.

                “Jab – Both men are southpaws. This should help Pacquiao who throws right jabs to set up his powerful left.”

                McNeil figured Diaz’ plan is not to match Pacquiao’s power but to be more aggressive.

                “Pacquiao stops once in a while when going forward,” said Diaz. “When he is resting, that’s when I can attack. We’re going to match up pretty much the same. He walks around pretty heavy so he feels comfortable…what’s going to matter most is the conditioning. Whomever is in top condition is going to end up winning this fight.”

                      Yeah I remember your prediction on PPV and it shows how ****** you are with your prediction..

                      Marquez is never a draw.. He only had 1 PPV and that was against Pac because of the history of it.. His PPV was cancelled against Juarez and HBO rejected it and Showtime pulled the trash.. Marquez sold less than 1000 tickets against Juarez and his highest purse was 1.5 million against Pac... Pac is earning an average of 5-7 million dollars per fight... Thinking Marquez is a draw must be totally ******ed and eating Mexican's **** and masturbating the Pic of JMM all day long..

                      ! Just compared Pac with unknown Diaz and Marquez-Casamayor PPV...
                      Don't forget about JMM's fight against another star Barrera.
                      The arena was almost half-empty.
                      And to Domain, your friend was lying.
                      According to article that I've just read.
                      70% of the tickets has already been sold and they're expecting by fight night the arena will be sold out.
