Mayweather vs. Cotto post fight Thread -DON'T make new threads about the fight

What's the deal with the crappy Mystikal music?

[Kenny Blankenship]

Here's how it works for the big fights:

The $200 and $300 seats are never going on sale to the general public. Ticket brokers arrange to buy up those tickets in advance from the promoter FOR A HIGHER FEE THAN THE LISTED PRICE.

Example: Ticket broker pays promoter $300 for the $200 tickets and $400 for the $300 tickets. The promoters/fighters are basically scalping tickets to their own fights before they ever go on sale. Then the broker sells $200 ticket for $400 and $300 ticket for $500.

That leaves the mid-range tickets, face value of $500-$600 for the general public as the cheapest option. They know us die hards are going to be sitting on the net waiting the second they go on sale, once we don't get the cheap seats they hope we say **** it I have to go to this and pony up the $500-$600 for a mid range seat (which of course isn't the best mid-range seat available because you guessed it...the promoter/fighters have already sold the best (front rows of the mid range seats) to a broker. You will always...always end up with corner seats on the first day of sale for tickets because dead centre are sold off to brokers weeks in advance.

So there you have it. If you want to go to a big fight...and this is one of them, be prepared to pay $500-$600 and no less.

Pac-Bradley is a different story. You were most likely able to get $300 tickets for that fight at face value. I got $300 tickets for Pac-Marquez III as well as Mayweather-Mosley but I think the demand for this fight is higher because Cotto is a legit draw on his own where Mosley and Marquez weren't nearly as much.

For fights like this the $200 and $300 tickets never go on sale to the general public, they were all sold to brokers/scalpers and weren't allowed to end up on ticketmaster's site for the general public to buy at face value. They didn't sell out today...THEY NEVER WERE FOR SALE TODAY.

GBP is REALLY stepping up production wise.

Would it be weird if I said "I love you"?

HAHA

I thought exactly the same way.

[terriblegabe]

so where is the best place to get those tickets?

[niceyboo3]

Not trying to be funny at all, but I believe Broner gets the best of Cotto while sparring. So no, he wouldn't help Cotto at all. He would take Cotto's confidence on facing slick fighters. On May 5 he has to face one of the greatest ever. That would be bad.

[COACH WEBB]

Epic fail to the start.

[SilverSun]

Just wait 'til the last week of fight night. They will have packages for 2 tickets, hotel room, buffet, special signed boxing gloves by floyd/cotto, ViP entrance from the back door to the fight, you get to give floyd Jr. a kiss, and take a knee with Cotto mid-fight all for $199.
