i was i was there. that event was spectacular. also, i knew it would sell out. floyd and mosely will do about half that in attendance. ppv numbers will be the big key though for both sides. so i can't wait to see how clottey and paq numbers are.

We were in secion 234 row 11 and the tix were $200 a pop. And there were no empty seats in all of that area. It was a great experience and was much different from the the only other fight i went live to (Valero-Ptuala). BTW the standing room only tickets were 35 dollars. Also there was a huge crowd outside the staduim drinking beers and watching the fight on the big screen so i do belive that more than 51k people were there. Lastly **** Vegas and thier small venues with jacked up prices..they need to bring the fights to big staduims where real people can afford tickets since let's face it the sport is for regular shmoes like me...
