      without that good undercard, less than half the tickets wouldve been sold.
      Gee, I wonder which bout you're excited for.

        #1 Pay Per View attraction? Thats bull****... the proof is in the numbers, Floyd outsells many in every pay per view. Also... more than half the tickets were bought by brokers. Pacman fans are broke and cant afford 500 dollar tickets.... the brokers are gonna lose money

If you put the undercard as a stand alone show in Vegas it wouldnt sell over 2000 tickets total.
            Martinez-Williams was in Atlantic City, which only has a small fraction of fight fans that Vegas has.

            There are lost of Mexicans that live in the city of Vegas, that go to the fights, and will go to see Arce, and Soto fight good fights.

                thats true.

                Arum lies alot, and then gives tickets away.

                he did this when Pac fought Clottey and Margarito at Dallas.

                  that's even better.

                  it simply means that there really are a lot of people who are willing to pay even more to see that fight.

                  why do people want to downplay something good like this? just because they don't want to see this match? that's rather pathetic of them.

                  the more casual fans are attracted to the sport, the better it is for everyone in the long run. why don't so called "true" boxing fans see this?

                    that's good. it simply means people are most likely gonna get what they paid for.

                      Hater can't accept the fact that a journeyman from other country become so popular in United States and become a wide attraction around the world! Pacquiao will prove again that he can wipe Mosley EASY!
