Option A) Rely upon the MGM Grand . a casino with a vested interest.

Option B) Rely upon the cross-checked, consistent, number from ESPN, NY Post, Las Vegas Review journal, UNLV paper, Yahoo Sport, and Doghouse Boxing.

You figure it out.

Dios I get what your saying but look at the pictures Rogelio posted. You also have people that went to this fight saying that you're crazy with the 40% being sold. Maybe the spaced the floor seats out more than normal fights, I dont ****ing know but I do know that the arena was freaking packed.

^It all goes back to Mayweather.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

so either it only holds 12k for boxing or it holds 17k and it sold almost that.

Ok. i'm done.

I posted 2 fights in the past year at MGM that did 17,000. So we know the capacity is 16-17,000. The arena itself says it holds 16 or 17.

I then posted about five or six different sources that verified attendance at 10,477.

I have all i need.

Fine it holds 17k but how is that possible when you have seen the pictures. ITS PACKED and people that went are telling you ITS PACKED. Before the main event I moved up because my aisle was packed but by the start of the fight I had to move down to my normal seats. Trust me brah there was very few seats open.

Pictures don't mean anything. I can show you pictures of NBA games that have attendance of 11 or 12K and it looks crowded on TV. We have all seen that. Plus, you know how fat Mexicans are. When you have people standing (like in those photos), you cant see empty seats, etc.

Question: If 5,000 people with money in hand wanted to buy tickets the week of the fight, would they have been turned away, or would they have gotten seats?

My point is that people are getting all ****tional and calling names and saying ultra-dumb **** ('Thomas & mack is a very, very small arena") when my numbers are dead accurate.

Both the arena capacity, and the attendance.


And El pacman gave me red k ("waaaah") questioning my math. 10,477 is 61% of 17,000. Then whines when she gets red k back.

40% more tickets could have been sold to that fight. Period.

Up to (an equivalent) point in mayweather's career, he had made MUCH more than Cotto has made. You are wrong, sir.

Once again you igonre the other part of my post. In 11 years Mayweather has headlined 5 PPVs, Cotto is a 7 year pro and has headlined 4 ALREADY!

also, how do you know that Mayweather had made more than Cotto at equivalent points in their career??? wen trying to prove a point, please dont state opinions... only facts!

Point a) yes. Cotto has been in more PPV's. But that alone is not indicative of anything. Sometimes a promoter does a PPV because he can't get a regular TV date. Perfect example: Cotto-Malignaggi was a PPV only because Arum couldn't get a WCB date. That was the same night as Hopkins-Tarver, so TR went ahead and made it an independent PPV. Another example: Margarito fought ******* Gomez on a PPV. It has 30K buys. It would have been better for all parties involved to be on free TV. It would have garnered Tony more exposure.

Feel me?

Point b) Fact. Floyd had a mult-fight contract with HBO that was paying him multi-millions to fight on KO Nation, BAD, and WCB. So, even before he was on PPV's, he was making PPV type money. For example, he made about as much for Bruseles as he did for Gatti.

Only in Miguel's last two fights has he made the type of money that FMJ was getting with regularity. Feel free to look it up.

I encourage you to challenge my facts. You may not LIKE what i have to say, but i am one of the best-researched posters on this board. i don't post unsubstantiated ****...unless I'm obviously trying to bait. And I'm not doing that here.
