Pacquiao/Clottey only sold 20,000 tickets

I just wish him and his team would stop lying, take the damn test and get this shyt over.
Can you respect a man for being honest.

None of this has any relevence to the sport of boxing. I don't buy PPV's to watch Bloddtests, watch fighters count their money, or hope their promoters are honest men.

It should have relevance to the sport though.

And, I agree with him as a Pac fan is disappointing that Pac will not take the test. He should take it no cutoff. I don't care if it is with Floyd/Mosley/whoever just take the damn test with no cutoff.

Yea, it's just crazy how you saw guys poking out there chest proclaiming Manny king.
How Manny sold 50,000 tickets! And the media ran with it, while they underplay Floyds and just about every other fighter.

So if Pac/Clottey sold 20, what did Pac/Marg sell?

The pac/Marg fight was a lot more then 20.000 put it that way.

Sure as long as "all" fighters are held to the same standards and practices. It becomes irrelevent whe people conviniently use these things to single out Manny in order to discredit him.

Actually I think Clottey sold more than Marg by like 5,000 tickets or so. I think the Marg tickets overall cost more though. I read that there was 5,000 tickets comp(free) for Clottey. While in the Marg there was 7,000-10,000 tickets comp(free). However, both events sold around 30,000-35,000 tickets.

You have a point. That is what bothers a lot of people. This OST issue is just focused on one fighter - Manny Pacquiao. I get the feeling that when he finally retires, all these OST talks will disappear. Unfortunate because there's still no evidence linking him to PEDs.

As a Pac fan I want him to take the test standard practice or not. Like I said I don't care if it is against Floyd/Shane/whoever. As long as he takes with no cutoff. Is disappointing that he will not do it.

Pacquiao may have the most carefully crafted image in all of sports history.

That underbelly of his is seedy as fuck.

The Pac/Clottey tickets were cheap and easy to get which was great for a boxing fan like me, I hate it when the tickets are expensive.

It should be easy to get, cheap or affordable and that way boxing would attract more fans into arenas, At the moment we have other sports that are more popular and too expensive to find or get their tickets, The best boxing can do is to attract those fans who cant afford to go to the NBA, NFL, Football or soccer games by making boxing tickets cheap and accesible, So for me the Pac/Clottey fight sets an example for boxing.
