This is great for boxing.. Doesn't matter if you are a pacquiao fan or not, if this becomes a successful event hopefully it'll take more boxing events out of 15,000 capacity casinos and bring them into stadiums like dallas that hold 50,000+ helping the sport grow for future generations
40k was pretty modest from the start although probably a lot of brokers buying in but they will probably open some extra seats atleast once and would not be suprised if it was twice (although that does kind of screw over the ticket brokers).
How many did Oscar do in El Paso against the unknown french guy, I would figue this could do close to that or possibly better since Dallas is a larger market then El Paso.
