    I don't get it.. Boxing is boxing. Be happy it's doing well, and this fight is that popular Without fights like this, you wouldn't be seeing all these free HBO fights.

    closed circuit does not = attendance at the event.
    thats all. GBP is not opening up 30,000 more "seats."

        Because Pac fans are little boys that havent had a hero since Bruce Lee , they dont care about boxing and when Pac losses to Floyd late this year they will be gone .

            What's your point.. Either way they are getting mad, because somehow as many tickets would be sold as Manny did..

            Im just saying.. Either way, closed circuit or not, 50k seats or not. Who gives a ****. It's good for boxing... I said the same thing when people were saying Pac cant sell 50k tickets. I said I hope they sell the whole damn stadium out.

              he has too. he's looking ahead to negotiations with arum/pacquiao.

              pacquiao sold 45k.

              he needs to throw out a bigger number.

              he'll say 20k and then count close circuit.

              it's not like the cheap seats in arlington went for much higher than close circuit seats.

                  Nah, he'll just count the gate revenue and pay-per-view.

                    he doesnt have to do that, Pacquaio vs Clottey Gate didnt even break 5 million.

                    Mayweather vs Marquez > Pacquaio vs Clottey PPV and GATE.

                      you already know what my point is and tua just rehashed it in his post.
                      its all fuzzy accounting for the purpose of future negotiations.
