Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Mosley: 16,000 Tickets Sold in First Three Hours

[jrosales13]

i'm guessing alot of tickets were bought by the brokers.

I think so too.

This.

Just ticket master, stub hub, etc buying them as soon as they were available so they can take them off the market and jack up the prices.

Ticket Master doesnt jack up the prices of tickets. If brokers are buying them up its because they expect a high demand they just dont buy them to hold on to them.

Well its great that there will be a packed house in vegas.The last few
boxing fights in vegas have been small.

LOL I wonder how many of those tickets were purchased by bob arum himself... we all know how it goes... it was the same thing when pac fought cotto and when pac had both his fights in cowboy stadium... promoters by up the tickets to sell/ give away to people they want to attend the fight.... hell they've done the same thing to mayweather's fights too.

You missed the point. Promoters are given blocks of tickets for their guests.
Just look at this way. Manny-Cotto was a sellout and Manny's last fight in LV. This one will be sold out soon. Why didn't Floyd vs Mosley or Floyd vs Marquez sell out if all these tix are given away? Both had around 14000 people in attendance. Good numbers but a few thousand short of a sellout

Quite possible, but more likely websites than Arum.

Arum would prefer money over giving free tickets.

He's a ***.

[Gutz]

did not expect that

^^^^^ this

[Mayas]

the Undercard is what really sold the show.

Humberto Soto vs Urbano Antillon
Jorge "El Travieso" Arce vs. Wilfredo Vazquez Jr.
Kelly Pavlik vs. TBA

without that good undercard, less than half the tickets wouldve been sold.
