fight selling poor

[sandyvahra]

He did that before and fought the toughest fights but he sold nothing compare to now, Another man opening his mouth and saying stuff doesnt bother me because he gets hit for a living...We dont...

That's because he did at the lower weights where there was less money and he wasn't recognized how he is today. Now that he is on top he has an opportunity to carry the mantle and make big fights. I think if your not going to make the big fights, then be humble. You beat the top dogs, talk all you want.

I am not hating on either i am just stating what my brother who works at the mgm told me,plus working on the strip myself i have heard no hype for this fight,which to me is insane these are two of the top 5 in the world right now i cant wait.

Ok so what does your brother do?
Does he sweep the parking lot?
clean the restrooms?
hotel manager
give us a title to see how credible he is.
Im not bashing your brother Im just trying to see if you have a good source.

[sandyvahra]

Lets just wait for figures after the fight, good chance it might not sell well, but whatever... I just wanna see a good fight now, I am sick of talking about it.



What because the TS said something? Whatever he says doesn't go you know... I aint saying he is a lier or any ****, but I am saying he could be wrong... so it doesn't end anything.

Like I said, wait for figures after the fight... there is a good chance that it isn't selling well... but lets wait and see.

Nah bro, popped onto ticketmaster this morning. You should do the same and you'll see that this fight isn't selling. The biggest draw in boxing outta be able to sellout the gate, no?

when are you people going to learn that the gate and PPV numbers ARE TWO SEPERATE THINGS. And most the time theyre unrelated.

guys like Hatton and big name Puerto Rican fighters have diehard fans that will follow them across the nation and buy their expensive tickets.

fighters like Mayweather, generally dont have those diehard kind of fans. but they can still create a lot of hype and PPV buys.

anyways, just enjoy the night of fights.

My brother who works at mgm said the fight is selling poorly and they will probably fill the remaining seats with people off the street.

If the cheapest nose-bleed seats for $150 are sold out, does that mean the people pulled off the street would get better seats than the people who paid for tickets?

Damn, only in America. I'd be walking around the MGM for hours hoping to get pulled inside for free. Then run to a bar and watch the fights if I didn't get chosen.

[DC Fight Fan]

It all boils down to how much he makes.His tickets are more expensive so he could fight in a 3/4 filled stadium and still gross more than Pacquiao did when he fought Marquez.He's been clever as well in a way with theatres,if that brings in more cash he will still be able to brag

You do realize putting this fight in theaters had nothing to do with FMJ. It was a GBP and HBO decision.

[MOREBASS]

Actually, the MGM offers the fight tickets to their hotel guests first, but I've heard the same thing, this fight is just not selling.

[DC Fight Fan]

Jump onto ticketmaster. All tickets but $150 are available. Fight is tomorrow. Nowhere near sold out. I think that's a pretty good indication right there. PPV wont crack 600 buys. Ofcourse you might think there's no correlation between ticket sales and ppv success. I think there is.



His bragging days are done. Pac-Cotto fight has already sold more tickets. Has more buzz. Will do a bigger gate. Will get more PPV buys. You can sig that.

You may be right about the ticket sales but the part in red you are insane about. How could you write something so ******?

According to Ellerbe at the press conference the other day, it was Floyd's idea to put the fight in theaters like they used to do back in the day.

I don't have a link. I watched the press conference live online.
