There has to be some manipulation in terms of ticket sales...

[Pacmanjay]

Brits have more money, no conspiracy.

Having more money when it comes to tickets for a prize fight doesn't mean jack. Filipinos make enough money in America to afford them.

[The Gambler1981]

Well it does kind of suck I will explain, ticket reseller buy up huge chunks of tickets to resell them at the actual market price. Which for events like this is often many times above face value. Most of the people who did this probably just marketed them to people in England because of what happeaned during the Mayweather fight (how many people came to see him) because it would be easy money.

Ticket resellers have supposably not made a lot of money on Manny fights in the past (from what I have read) with them having to sell tickets at less then face value in the end, with Hatton ticket resellers did very well with people driving up the price.

It is all about economics.

Until Roach closed down his gym for this training camp, Pac had tens of visitors each day just to watch him train. Some even drive hours just to get pic with Pac or just see him. You think they wouldn't pay 100, 200, or whatever tickets cost to watch their national hero fight live?

But then who is to decide who gets a ticket and who doesnt?

The guy with the tickets.

So, I am right. There is a some sort of manipulation.

The people who sell the tickets. And I wouldn't be surprised if Golden Boy can control some of this.

Oscar wants the Brits in Vegas, there's more of them, they spend more money in pubs/clubs/bars etc and as a bonus they all cheer his name

[cuzfozzy]

oscar badly wants pac to lose ... he has a chip on his shoulder

[Pacmanjay]

exactly, all those "humble" "i do it for the people" boxers are full of ****....

"All those humble boxers" are different from Manny who is known for his generosity to Filipinos. What other boxers have you seen hand out food and cash to hundreds, maybe thousands, of citizens for no particular reason? And even though Manny wasn't exactly a high paid boxer until recently, he still gave alot of money to charities and such. So you better take that ignorant comment and shove it up your ass.

You can say what you want about my boy, but 30-50 dollar tickets to his fight is delivering on promise that his fights will be affordable to anyone.
