ADMIT IT: This Fight is A LOT Bigger Than You Expected!!

[Heeb]

Yeah, the promotion for this fight picked up recently. I think they should have gone heavier a little earlier though. Still solid promotion.

It's got huge. When i first heard about the fight i treated it more as a tune-up for Mayweather. Since all the promotion and 24/7 episodes it's now a blockbuster fight which some people think Ortiz has a decent shot of winning.

Well done to the promoters.

yep and some people believe that is a sell out

Those people believe ANYTHING that Arum says. ANYTHING.

Legitimate Mexican contender vs loud mouth Floyd on Mexican independence weekend... of course it sold well. Throw in there Canelo and Morales on the card... Golden Boy is taking over.

Canelo fought on Mexican Independence weekend last year. Shane Mosley was also on that card.

Remind me what that sold...

I just realized that everybody on that card is Mexican except for Floyd

no this fight isnt bigger than expected, just ask MGM Grand who has been calling up local vegas VIP's to give away fight tickets!!!

had they had the canelo fight here in vegas too, the gate would've sold out, but they didn't want all the seats to be sold at a lower dollar, so they kept that fight in LA for the larger gate, and tried going top dollar for the gate in vegas, but as true to the historical record, floyd doesn't draw a crowd to his fights, he does get the PPV's though, thats in the record, although it's usually who floyd is fighting that is the real draw other than the mosley fight, which people were interested in seeing him fight someone that they wanted to see him fight, YEARS AGO, the curiosity was still there, but for fights like these, it's a flip of the coin.

bottom line, mgm is giving away tickets................ can't be that big..... but like i said, the promoters were trying to capitalize on higher priced seating at the mgm which screwed the pooch a bit i think........
