Why limit it to 50 000 in the Cowboys stadium?

[Khalid X]

No that many people want to go, ESPECIALLY considering all the very bitter fans that won't go now because the Mayweather fight fell apart.

I may have flown out for this one if it was after a Mayweather fight, but i wont anymore. not worth it

This is not true. Dallas hardly ever gets mega fights and a lot of those people in Dallas Suburban area are caked up big time and will go out of there way to see any big time sporting event.

These same people are die hard sports fans. If you don't believe, Both TCU and SMU (Two schools in the area) were both constantly reprimanded by the NCAA because those same fans were throwing tons of money because they wanted to have a winning team in there city. Im telling you those people love sports and will spend whatever it takes if they feel they can be apart of something special. Again Manny Pacquiao is huge and that city may never see another big boxing event for a long time. So why not capitalize on those people especially if they have the money to blow.

Why not just make the tickets cheaper, and fill it to capacity?

Probably they a bit scrared... I mean 50.000 are a lot dude... and if they have the whole stadium open and probably only 60.000 there... do you know how empty 40.000 chairs look like *loooooooooooooooool*

But visually it will be a great event on it's own

because Pac-Clottey aint selling 50K seats, let alone 100K seats

[Biolink]

Its in Texas which has a huge Mexican American population, and isn't Margarito on the Undercard?

I could see that being a selling point.

Some people might go just for the sheer novelty(Cowboy fans).

I think this fight would be lucky to do 50k in seats, but it'd be dumb to marginalize profits

[boxaholic]

Well the mgm doesn't even hold 20 000. Just reduce the prices a bit, and sell out the stadium.

$20 seats for the rest of the 50k seats would be good. But thinking that you gotta pay $50 for parking and $10 for a beer and its in boondoks Arlington Texas 100k seats for a fight without a Mexican boxer in the main event is a good idea.

JCC JR vs Margarito as the undercard and I gaurentee you it would sell 100k.

They are called cheap seats. make them cheap enough, and they will sell. Also have some respect, what are you 15?

What Part of Arlintong, Texas aint a Boxing venue and Clottey is not known dont you under ***ing stand?


Respect to who, A internet ***** like you? **** Outta here.

[DC Fight Fan]

They will expand the seating limit if the demand for the tickets exceeds the limits that they set.

This is exactly right. Then you will have $25 seats in the upper realms of the stadium. A great seat for a great price to take in the ambiance of the event and still be able to watch it on the biggest screen in the world. But if you put the $25 seats on sale now the cheap people will gobble them up instead of the 50's. Smart move.

Then Top Rank, Pacquiao's promoter, insults the boxing public by matching Pacquiao against Joshua Clottey, a once-upon-a-time welterweight contender who is coming off a loss to Miguel Cotto. The same Cotto who Pacquiao, quite literally, wiped the canvas with in November.

Thats why.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Nice, Pacquio is better than Cotto and TKOd him, what that have to do with the thread?

[Thornton Melon]

I live about 30 miles from the stadium and I know there is a group of about 20 of us going or more. I think some people dont realize how big of a boxing fanbase that Texas has. Also dont forget that Holyfield drew over 10K in Dallas a few years ago against some guy nobody had ever heard of. Not to mention that all of the hispanics here I know love Manny. I would be surprised if there wasnt at least 30K for the fight.
