Pacquiao-Clottey is 5-to-6,000 away from a complete sellout

[$partacus]

can't they give away the remaining 60,000 seats out of their original seats.
id fly to dallas in a sec.

You can get a ticket for $50 go buy one.

Every seat will be taken no doubt, they will give them away if they have too.

Lol...I have no doubt that seats will be had for below face value. I'm not so sure the boxing media will be willing to point any of this out, but I'm nearly 100% sure fans will be watching the fight for less than the face value of their tickets.

That said, Pacquiao and Clottey won't benefit from this financially. Which, I'd guess is fine for either, but doesn't it illustrate the point that Pacquiao should have just agreed to fight Mayweather blood tests or not? That man either has the most pride of any human being ever to walk the face of this Earth or he's on PEDs.

40,000 is impressive regardless when you consider his opponent and the location. I'm not sure what the Filipino population is in Dallas, but it's not what it is in Cali.

The house will be configured for a capacity of 45,000 patrons. Arum believes every seat will be sold by fight time. "Yeah, sure. We’re getting close, now. I think we’re about 5-to-6,000 away from a complete sell-out," he claimed. - Steve Kim

ehhh.....

i think they won't sell out. i'm thinking just short of a sellout maybe 35,000-40,000.

they could have sold out a stadium in san diego , los angeles , san francisco , etc.

this fight is just all wrong for dallas.

This is the funniest news I've heard all day lmao !!!

Pac better wrap his mind around 60/40 in favor of Floyd, as a matter of fact if Shane wins he'll have to accept for 40 from Shane !!!

they probably could give it away and still make money.

parking costs more than $50.

I agree with you.

a lot of those tickets will get scooped up real quick. Before my car broke down, I was gonna go to the allstar game and there was quick a bit of seats left....then as the days got closer and closer that **** turned out to be a sellout. Same **** with this....I know for a fact that this will be a sellout because I tried to get my boy some tickets a few days ago and those **** were going quick.

There's a difference, people actually cared about the All Star Game. Here in Dallas, the All Star Game was a HUGE deal.

bad, more fans at the fight live = less ppv's.
