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

[Reloaded]

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

This fight will blow Pac Clottey away in revenue and so it should its a very highly anticipated fight between two superstars and the PPV will be huge .

[TBear]

They can count ppv seats too, I have five seats in my livingroom.

I can see where this thread is going, so i thought i might bring some facts on by ..
have fun...

this is ******, why do they fight at such small stadiums, if 2 guys who were superstars fought in the uk, we would fill 60-80k people. why not host this fight in a 50k stadium, it would easily sell out

two things wrong with that

mayweather has 2 years of prime mega fights on pacman, that means he will of generate more as he has been a star 2 years longer. when pacman is 33 compare those current figures of mayweather at 33 to pac at 33 then it will be fair

because the Casino's in Vegas pay a lot of money. That's what it boils down to.

But yeah, I would LOVE to see this fight in a stadium. I always feel the atmosphere is better because the TRUE fans can afford to go to stadiums whereas Vegas is so much high rollers, rich elite, politicians, actors, etc etc etc.

ppv u make more money i think, so theyd rather have people stay home and order ppv

[GT-R]

the mgm can't hold 30,000.. it's maximum capacity is about 17k.
I find it rather funny that they are counting closed circuit as actual seats.

they might as well say theyre sellin 100k seats, more than the cowboys stadium can hold. schaefer is comedy.

5 people per seat, lap it up bitches!

Fair???
Facts are not meant to be fair, FACTS are meant to reveal the Truth.
and sometimes my friend The TRUTH isnt fair.

yup, I do think one of the issues are that since america is the mecca of boxing that people have become spoilt as well. you know what I mean like here in the uk having a top fighter is a once in a few year event. Hell within the last 5 years I suppose haye vs ruiz has been the biggest thing live in the uk which is sad really.

I think the atmosphere in america would be much better if it was ina 50k stadium with a wide variety of fans who arent afraid to make some noise.
