How can he be owned when he provided evidence of fights that brought 6-7000 more people into the MGM?

The fight took place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada under the promotion of Golden Boy Promotions. It was contested at 154 pounds, with De La Hoya defending his WBC light middleweight championship.

Tickets sold out three hours after they went on sale on Saturday, January 27, 2007. With the sellout, the bout generated over $19 million in live gate, shattering the previous record of $16,860,300 set by the November 13, 1999, heavyweight championship rematch between Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis at the Thomas & Mack Center.[1]

The fight was televised on HBO Pay-Per-View, with the cost to watch the fight at $55 in the U.S.[2]

Judges Jerry Roth (115-113) and Chuck Giampa (116-112) scored the fight for Mayweather while judge Tom Kaczmarek had De La Hoya winning, 115-113

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

nope it holds 17000 ppl u ignorant ****

Whther the capacity is 16,500 or 17,000 is not material. What is material is that there are morons claiming that the capacity is 12,500. That is laughable.

[El Dominicano]

nope it holds 17000 ppl u ignorant ****

I guess 16,459 can't fit into 17,000. Wow...I am ignorant.

[My Name Is...]

You jackass, you can say what you want about your assumptions of the ppv sales but the arena was freaking packed. I WAS THERE! There was very few empty seats stop spewing **** that isnt true.

Same here, I was there and it was jam packed with people.

warp, what did I just get owned on? please tell me.

PLEASE.

Well....you just proved the fact that it holds more then 12,0000 for boxing so you didn't. My bad.

Another reason though, that Mayweather-De La Hoya/Cotto-Margarito didn't sell out is because boxing tickets are so damn expensive.

[unbanrogelio128]

and not this dumb ass is trying to say the mgm holds 17000, yea it does for ****en concerts! boxing holds a little over 12,000 and it was damn near sold out!! Dios is a ****en moron and i just shut down his make believe **** up! AGAIN! When you see this account not posting in this thread again it's because he put me on ignore like always because he has nothing to say in return to the **** i throw at him. So what will he say now?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

I'm not sure he is so wrong. Hatton Castillo at the mack was 13Kish I think. So maybe the boxing does only hold about that much.....

Naps,

Is Thomas & mack a "very very small arena"?
