With tickets starting at one dollar and 50 cents for Pacquiao events, the least he can do is sell out the place.

4,208 unsold seats and Mayweather's gate revenue still generates more than Pac's sold out gate revenue.

Don't really care about that though, just want to see them fight. But Floyd doesn't need to sell out arenas to generate more money than Pacquiao events.

umm, you do realize those were for the Close Circuit tickets, right? and those were going for $75 each ticket plus tax, which was really $90. I'm surprised he sold that many CC tickets to be honest

you are either ******ed or you cant read the 4,208 seats are closed circuit seats meaning you go to a theater to watch the fight, the mgm was sold out and pacquiao will never make more money that floyd. And you my friend are not a boxing fan but a pacquiao fan.and if you wanna talk about sham fights you should watch all of pacquiao's fights

best fight weekend since May/Mosley and before that Pac/Cotto. but yea the $75 for closed circuit was the most expensive of all time.

[pac2]
