    @ HAYSAnatomy......The 4,208 unsold were the extra TELECAST seats...NOT the MGM...They set up the live telecasts underneath tent-like structures in the parking lots of the hotels on the Vegas strip - and its very IN-expensive to throw a few thousand more plastic seats underneath and create the extra tickets for them...after Floyd vs De La hoya only had one tent set up and money makers realized the demand for these cheap seats and now set up SEVERAL tents to max out $$....therefore most of the time now days there are unsold telecast seats...Read more thoroughly before u comment in a non sophisticated biased manner on here...or go to ************.com...bc u sound like most people on that site....

                  So why do people care how many seats were sold? Does any of that money go into your bank account?

                  Just watch the fights!

                      enjoy these fighters and quit bickering
                      We're trying to but Pacquiao fans keep coming on Mayweather threads talking about how greater Pac is and how much more popular he is and his numbers are higher. Talk to your boys.
