Boxing is ran by the biggest idiots in all of sports. Most hardcore fans wouldn't even consider spending 500 dollars for nose bleeds. Instead of putting it in a stadium that could hold 100,000 people they once again alienate their fans and potential new fans to the sport. Real fans that make the sport go wouldn't even think about spending that kind of cash for nose bleeds.

Tyson/Lewis cheapest ticket was $250 and it was filled to the rafters. Ringside was 2500 bucks and it was a 25,000 seat arena and broke all the records.

Real middle class boxing fans are to smart to spend 500 bucks for the nose bleeds though, you are right. They will watch it on the 50" Plasma from the front row with a bunch of buddies for about 10 bucks a piece.

So no, I don't think they are idiots. They are getting paid because they know that there is enough rich people to fill the need. The hard cores would rather watch from home anyway. The way to hook the casual is have a great matched undercard and a memorable main event.

i've gone to many big fights and want to go to this one too but if i have to pay a minimum of $500 for nosebleeds, they can kiss my ass.

the reason they don't put in a stadium is because it's less money than a casino.

wtf would they hold something that makes less money than something else?

Because in the long run it would pay off. If you put it in a big stadium, more exposure, and maybe you create new fans or even new fighters. Imagine this, a young boy next to his dad watching the fight and he says damn this is something I'd like to do. That kid eventually becomes a great fighter and makes the sport millions more down the line. A lot of fighters become fighters because they see the bright lights and what boxing can do for your stature and bank account but if they can't see it then they may never consider getting into boxing. If Tyson fights were never shown to the general public you wouldn't have Manny Pacquaio who has grossed more for the sport than 50 million dollars that a site fee and raised ticket prices in Vegas would give for this one fight. Boxing simply doesn't think about their future.

It doesn't take an expert to realize that boxing is sucking its future dry by not giving in a little.

I think it's funny that they keep the poor out.

Vegas has no time for poor people who don't bet a lot.

They got enough of those wankers at the slot machines.

They don't need anymore.

If you are a true fight fan, you gotta have a bankroll to take part in this historic event.
