This is just a bunch of bull****.

Another 40million dollar? Yeah right.

Lets say they manage to squeeze in another 25k audience.
Well, when building a stadium prices for the average ticket would obviously be lower due to capacity and quality of vision.

Lets say the extra 25k tickets would be on average $300. That's $7.500.000

So the ticket price of the excess capacity would have to be almost $1700 per ticket on average on top of selling the higher quality tickets for the same price as they would on mgm (far from a given).

Add to that the cost of construction, massively increased staff and security, people going to the event not buying a PPV etc etc etc and i doubt you would get an additional 40 million to split between the two fighters.
Not to mention theres no chance in HELL Manny and Floyd would gain all the benefit of the increased revenue.

Lets face it. The real money here is in PPV-sales and investors. Not in building stadiums.

This is a cop-out and an insult to the intelligence of fans around the world. How gullible do they think that we are?

I was thinking the same thing. Though surely a bigger stadium means more fans through the gate i.e. more advertising (i.e within the venue), more deals/promotions with nearby casinos/nightclubs etc. Certainly won't be anything near $40 million, or $20, or probably even $10 million. I'd like Arum to explain how 25k more people through the doors makes so much more money. It sounds like some BS.

If Pac were to fight Floyd on May 5th...

its a safe bet lol

hold on bro man...
a sub 17,000 seating at mgm generates about 20 mil for a fighter.
so to say that a temp site that will sit 45,000 can generate another 40 mil seems logical,
being that the temp site will be almost 3 times the sitting capacity,
even tho the cost to build/break down the temp site will be huge when just looking at dollar numbers, it'll still be a small percentage of the revenue generated

btw, not to burst your bubble, but i'll take arums estimated 40 mil over your "wanna be business logic"

lol Pacquiao didn't say anything.

He's going to jail on the 1st and has kids. Boxing requires heavy training leading up to a fight and will leave little time for his family before he's locked away from his family. The man only gets a few weeks after the 5th of May to be with his kids and prepare them for his absence. I believe he does have custody as well.

He prepared his kids to testify against him, after he beat their mother in front of them, trust me preparation is the last excuse he needs.

Both agree that May is doable. Why does May "5th", specifically have to be the day? Why because Soldier Boy said so? It's the same damn month and he stands to make more money if they fight at a bigger venue. He loves money right? Pac said he'll take less money and even do the drug tests. Soldier Boy is so full of ****, look this is another one of his power plays, "do like I say or NOTHING." That what it all boils down to. He wants to say "jump" and have everyone do it. **** him. May is the month he wanted, the date is a matter of weeks, accept it and get paid the most money that he's ever been been paid to date, and then go to jail a champion, come out and redeem yourself. Dude is just being a **** like usual.

This sht is waaaaaay too funny. Since when is Bob concerned with Money being able to maximize his revenue? RN is such a joke of a "journalist" it aint even funny, still dropping P4P king and FOTD instead of just saying Manny's name. Bob won't be bothered with the "nonsense" of Floyd saying we wants to fight Manny. Beyond ridiculous at this point.

Ah he runs a business, and his main priority is to maximize revenue for his fighters and his company. :/

I thought Manny was the peoples noble champ who only fights for glory and not for money.. This is the biggest fight Manny could give to his people yet the noble congressmen and the fighter of his people is holding up the fight that his people want to see because of Manny wanting more money. Manny would be banking a lot of money anyway, but is holding up the fight because he wants more! Pacman is a fake dude and champion who banksoff manipulating his drones.

looks like you're not informed much at all.
pac already have said he will take less from than *****.
the additional revenue from the temp site will go to both pac/*****, but also to arum,
and even with the additional 20 mil each, pac will still get less than *****

ie,
pac taking less garanteed $$$ @ maybe 30 mil, letting ***** take 50 mil...
even with an additional 20 mil each, that would equate to pac @ 50 mil and ***** @ 70 mil,...then add the PPV revenue

SO HOW IS WILLING TO TAKE LESS $$$ AND TAKING THE ***** BLOOD TESTING PROTOCAL AS HOLDING UP THE FIGHT?
