    The Casinos have been hurting do to the economy as well and employees having been getting many hours.. I'm sad to here this about the ticket sales not going so well but whenever there is left over seats.. guess who gets free tickets?? hopefully I get a phone call again asking me if I want to go to the fights!! *crosses fingers
    I never heard that before.I always thought Vegas would be really alive during the summer for some reason.

          no, ummm winning five titles in five different weight classes, and being undefeated will put him down as NOT THE GREATEST, but an all-time great.

          it doesn't really matter what you think.................

          clottey lost to margarito, margarito lost to paul williams, who lost to carlos quintana... the only person on your list of "mandatories" who actually deserves a shot is cotto, and floyd beats him.......

          its funny, b/c you are probably one of those same fans who believe rjj should go down as the greatest...................
          Nah fool, you got it twisted, I put RJJ in the same tank as Fraud.
          They'll go down as great, but not like Hagler, Robinson etc...
          **** em both even tho i'd like to see RJJ beat the living **** out of Calslappy, but i dont think its gonna happen........
          My point is that Fraud didnt fight any legit contenders like he should have, he hand picked his opponents like frauds do, having an "L" on your record isnt always a bad thing, especially when you fight the best out there and give it your all, he never did that and thats why, along with his bitchassness attitude, no one cares about that mofo, he can eat a **** and no one will care except some ****

                They should have put the fight in Staples in LA or Home Depot Center in Carson.

                With the high gas prices, the fans are discouraged to drive and fly to Las Vegas.

                How much is the PPV?

                      The source quoted in this article is full of **** on at least one point:

                      The $100, $200 and $300 tickets are sold out, NOT the $500 and $700.

                      I was just on ticketmaster and the cheapest ticket left is $500.

                      This isn't a huge fight, only for us hardcores.

                      One of the biggest mistakes The Bobfather made was ticket prices.

                      If you want to sit anywhere in the lower bowl it's a minimum $500, which is out-****in'-rageous for a fight like this. No matter how much we may want to believe it these guys aren't household names, especailly Margarito.
                      Generally speaking, nobody knows who the **** he is and Cotto isn't too far behind in that department.

                      If tickets were cheaper (let's say the most expensive ticket was $500) I truly believe this fight would have been sold out or come close to it.

                      Arum has gotten lazy as ****. Zero promotion. He figures if he puts it in the casino they do all the work for him..wrong! The casinos only promote locally to make people aware of this fight, nowhere else.

                      Like someone mentioned earlier, there are no more real promoters anymore. They just get a facility, hold 3 or 4 press conferences on both coasts and stage a fight, that's it.
