the low ticket sells doesnt mean floyd isnt a draw

[el malo]

Why are you trying to downplay Floyd vs Marquez now? You were one who was endorsing this fight as a great tune up for Floyd. Now that the ticket sales thus far have spoken for themselves, all of a sudden you're in agreement that people thought it was a bull**** fight? Tellin you dude, all these theatrics are not foolin people anymore. Pacquiao's become the fighter fans love to embrace while Floyd is still trying to pull schemes to get certain fights made. Though Im a fan of Floyd as a fighter, I couldn't be happier to see this unfold.

great post bro. preach on.

Two things to consider:

1. The time of the year
2. The state of the economy. There are hotels closing down on the Las Vegas strip because of lack of business.

wow... see we have some new info..

De La Hoya vs. Forbes was bull**** & sold..

to be fair. those tickets were cheap as ***. I almost went to it and decided to just go to a angels game instead. The tickets for may/jmm were outreagously high.

[extracurRICular]

it just means people weren't buying this fight becasue they felt it was bull****..i think the pressure has been put on floyd to perform now and fight a genuine challenge.people arnt gonna pay to see floyd knock out jmm..i think floyd realized that and will scap the entire fight..something is happenng behind the scenes

Let the SPIN begin....hahaha....sorry kid...ain't buying your brand of bull****......

There are no Hotels closing down worth mentioning in Vegas because people are STILL ******** and spending money. Think about how much money these hotels make during a weekend fight, AND it's Boxing's supposed biggest draw in Mayweather?

Cotto vs Clottey sold over 17,000 tickets and was already at 11,000 a month before the fight itself.

I think it's more of a case of people not buying into the bull**** anymore.

The thing that is interesting is that Floyd says he is the biggest draw in boxing and he is the cash cow etc. Yet rumours circulate that the fights sold no more than 3 thousand tickets.

When Oscar De La Hoya fought a little man in Manny Pacquiao, the fight sold out pretty quickly even do most boxing people were saying it was a mismatch. Mayweather and De La Hoya are both in the same situation, both fighting little men and at the time most boxing people are calling mismtach.

But here the difference, when De La Hoya fought his little man, his fight sold out and got over a million PPV buys. Mayweather fights his little man, and rumours circulate that is has done only 3 thousand tickets sale, and virtually all boxing people say it won't do huge box office numbers, like Manny and Oscar.

It makes me laugh when Mayweather says he is the bigger draw than De La Hoya.

True Tunney very true this is why you would put the best product out there hoping to sell tickets...PACMAN vs HATTON sold tickets no was the economy much better 1 month ago? Cotto fought jenning in what Feb or March right was it much better then? We all know what a **** economy we have right now but people will pool their money together and treat them selves occasionally they just need the right reason or event to look forward too....Fact is people don;t want to support a fake fraud like Mayweather who dips out on us and retires when were looking forward to a fight from him...they don;t want to waist there hard earned money on an event they feel they already know the outcome too. it is like that movie you see the coming attactions to but you feel og I will buy the bootleg or I will wait for the DVD and rent it from blockbuster....that is how we feel about mayweather at this point...Lefty

Margarito vs. Cotto sold in the hottest month of the year, in a recession as well.
NO excuses.

Low ticket sales don't mean much for this fight. The state of the economy, time of year, blah blah blah, etc, etc. Plus most people know who's gonna win the fight and are not gonna pay 150+ to see a fight they know the outcome of.
