Damn, screw that. I would love to see a fight in that new Cowboys stadium so bad, hopefully it happens one day.

So it's settled then...Now, the wait begins...

I thought it was Mayweather ducking the fight!!!

What are the chances of getting tickets to this?

Will $1,000 buy you floor seating?

Might consider flying in for the fight from Australia.

It will be close to impossible. The floor tickets and the first 15 rows above the floor will go for 2k and the scalpers will seek them for more. The best way for u is to either email top rank or mayweather promotions and tell them about your request. You will still pay the ticket price but have a more realistic chance of getting a seat. Or have a MGM host reserve u a room and tickets. Both these options sound extreme but they are worth a shot.

This isn't unexpected but I had hoped that the fight would take place in Dallas, this fight belongs in a stadium. I'm happy they finally got a site finalized though.

it would have been interesting.

I think the whole dallas and LA offers were just to drive up MGM's offer.

well not LA. they came right out and said the fight wouldn't be in LA b/c they'd have to pay like 10% of their purses in taxes. sucks for manny b/c he owes arum like 20%, then another 20% goes to roach.

Can't wait to see the first press conference photos.

me neither.

I would not have minded Dallas to be honest. It would've been a great place
to have it.

i would have gone if it was in dallas....but oh well, just happy everything is finally coming together.

Greedy ass motha****as... Just an excuse to charge disgusting prices at the gate and closed circuit tv.

This is why boxing is slowly going down the drain.

If they charge $65+ for normal PPV then forget breaking records. They're gonna lose a lot of PPV sales.These greedy ass promoters are milking this fight wherever they can and in a ****ty economy like this they'll be surprised how **** the numbers will be.

they may lose SOME sales, but i don't expect it to have a big effect on the fight. this is the biggest fight in boxing history, and ppl have been waiting for this, basically since pacman destroyed hatton.

you think about it, regular ppv's are around $50, and it's like $10 more if you want it in HD....65, as opposed to $50 for a fight of this magnitude is not bad at all, and i think the fight will still do at least 3 million buys.

you are right about the promoters being greedy tho, but don't expect $65 to become a "regular" thing. this is probably the only fight those bastards could get away with it, and they're just trying to capitalize as much as they can.

I'm just glad the fight is going down.

Would have been better for the sport of boxing in the long run if it was held at Cowboys Stadium. Oh well...
