    Now go educate your sorry ass before you post.
    LMAO.. "A favor".. LOL. Now Arum is giving out multi-million dollar favors. My sides are hurting.

    No sir. The official numbers for Cotto-Marg were never released. I'm willing to be proven wrong. Please provide us with the link to the press release.

    Cotto-marg didn't even come close to selling out the building, btw.

      When Arum co-promoted Pacquiao's May 2 victory against Ricky Hatton, the pay-per-view fight was shopped to Showtime before Arum and Golden Boy settled on HBO. In the case of Cotto-Pacquiao, which Arum would control by himself, he said HBO PPV has dibs based on the deal he made with the network to carry Cotto-Clottey.



      Arum said part of the discussion with HBO was the production of a "24/7" series for Cotto-Pacquiao. "That would be part of our deal," Arum said.


      Educate your ass young fellow.

        Also, a trade-off during a business negotiation is not a "favor". When you buy a Honda Accord, and they give you a $1,500 rebate, that is not a "favor". That is a stip in a business transaction.

        Sheesh.

            Sigh. The tickets are not sold out. I would respectfully suggest that you go online. You will see that you can buy as many $300 seats as you want. i can give you the links... or you can go to that thread and get them.

            i'm a bit disappointed. I did not think you would be this gullible for whatever bull**** story Arum sells you.

            When you hear something, don't just swallow it blindly. Check for yourself. Think for yourself.
            If you go on ticketmaster there are no $150, $300 or $500 tickets left to buy.

            Now you can say that those tickets are not sold out, but when they aren't there to buy that means they are spoken for whether it's brokers or not, someone has them reserved which means they are sold TO SOMEONE, whether Arum has held them back or not you still CAN'T BUY THEM.

            The only tickets available on ticketmaster are the $750 and $1000 seats.

            So...if you have links that show $300 tickets for sale by all means please post them as there are a few people on this site that would like to buy them.

            On the flip side if you go to ticketmaster there are plenty of $300 tickets left for the JMM-Mayweather fight LOL.

            Take from that what you will.

                1.2 million buys imo for pac vs cotto

                NOT Even Pac vs Mayweather does that... maybe 1.75 million

                  I doubt it will make 800k hits.

                    .

                    But that's the thing. You CAN buy them.

                    Are you familiar with "the google"? I want you to go to 'the google', and enter "pacquiao cotto tickets". you will then get inundated by retailers who are more than happy to sell you some tickets.

                    Think of TicketMaster as a wholesaler nowadays...and the ticket brokers are essentially the retailers or the distribution network.

                    Again, TicketMaster is not your sole source provider. This is not 1998.
