Schaefer says mayweather-mosley nearly sold out; planning to add 30,000 or more seats

[And Still]

trust me.. if they could, they would but they can't so they wont.
one live attendance seat is usually worth the price of 3 or more PPV buys.. a live seat generates more revenue. It would be smart to put it in a large stadium if they knew people would show but the sad part about Floyd is that his fan boys claim they love him to death but will never buy a ticket to go see him fight live, because they aren't real fans.
So the fight gets stuck at a smaller venue and they sell closed circuit seats which are way cheaper.

I don't know that is necessarily the case. With all due respect.

Clottey-Pacquiao seats didn't really sell for more than the PPV cost. Most seats anyway.

And the Cowboys Stadium "party passes" cost less than the PPV. Right?

[Sin City]

Who cares? Floyd's live gate are more than Manny's and Floyd sells PPV's.

Floyd's live gate against JMM >>>> Manny's live gate against Clottey with 50K seats.

the most they could've crammed into the MGM for the Marquez fight was 17k and they had to postpone the fight because tickets weren't selling.
They even gave a bunch of special room deals so people would go to the fight.
anyway.. say someone pays 800 bucks to see the fight live. That's the price of 16 PPV buys alone.

not sure.. from what I remember they had seats from 100 to 2000 dollars for the fight. I could be wrong.. but in general a live attendance seat generates more rev.

Sin City,

When he says "live gate" I believe he meant dollar$.

Were the dollar$ for Floyd-Marquez more than the dollar$ for Clottey-Pacquiao?

[pistol whip]

Is that really true?

Can you please share the information if you have it...or direct me where i can get that?

thx

Whats funny is the same high rollers that spend big money on Floyd fights are the same high rollers that spend the same big money when Manny fights in vegas.


It's Absurd to think that Floyd outsells pacman in anyway shape or form.

Let's also not forget that Manny has the largest PPV event for a fight held in the Jr. Lightweight division which is a division that Floyd himself fought in. Floyd was still fighting on BAD when he was in that division.

Jerry jones payed 10 million as a site fee if that goes to show you how much revenue Clotty vs Pac produced.

How so?


I thought the site fee was 7 mil, not 10 mil. But in any event, the gate revenue doesn't necessarily go to the venue owner. It doesn't work that way.

How the **** do you add 30,000 seats to the MGM grand? You would have to build a whole new arena to add 30,000 seats. Plus last time I was in Vegas the MGM grand only seated 17,157.

Here is a link to prove it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGM_Grand_Garden_Arena


Talk about making **** up just to hype a ***ing fight!!

They can't. Golden Boy is talkign about adding 30,000 closed circuit seats in Vegas. This way they can brag after the fight they did 50,000 tickets (or more) just like Pacquiao clottey. lmao
