    The Pac vs. Clottey fight still has 6,000 available tickets, and it's this upcoming weekend. Not extremely impressive considering Arum purchased around 30,000 of the tickets himself.

    Be gone.
    Ringside seats for Clottey v Pacquiao were being sold for $700 and the cheapest tickets are $50. Ringside seats for Mayweather v Mosley are $2000+

      There's more money in Las Vegas because of the casinos. Even though there will be 30K more at Cowboys Stadium, Floyd will still make more money with the site fee from Vegas. It's all about the money to Mayweather, that's why he doesn't care about fighting in a stadium or at MSG.

        Probably they call it a tune up since JMM was bloated up to 144 his first WW fight ever.
        Marquez had Mexico behind him when he fought Pac how many did they sell?

            his whole act outside the ring is a phony come on so you can spend your hard earned cash watching him run & pot shot all night.

                Manny was still not as famous as he is today.

                Pac had Philippines behind him but most of the Americans were still skeptic about his skills during that time.

                  The Mayweather mosley fight will prove who is the bigger draw, Roach said they turned the fight down with Mosley because there wasn't as much money in that fight compared to Cotto and that Mosley was too dangerous. So if Mayweather v Mosley outsells Pacquiao v Cotto it proves he's a bigger draw.

                    Nobody on here gets their pockets lined, so it shouldn't matter.

                      People don't buy Mannys fight for his act though,

                      they buy it for the real product,

                      his fights.

                      Can't say the same about your hero.
