Steve Kim has an interesting article where a source tells him that less than five person of the tickets are actually released publicly for big Vegas fights. The rest are held for casinos and and second hand brokers.

its not even about true fans. Its about the common man and my main point is that they would still get paid. There are alot of blue collar people who would buy those $200 ticktes easily. He would still sellout. However, they are not going to go to stubhub and buy those same tix for triple the price so you will end up getting all rich casual fans.

It sucks. A hard working dude cant take his kids to sporting events anymore because of this. If you wanna talk about getting paid then let them sell the richer seats to the brokers but atleast leave the $200 & $300 seats for regular sell

You make a good point but with the amount of money the ticket brokers make I don't see it changing.

I refuse to believe that an article that poorly written is authentic. Good news if it's true though.

For big sporting events, concerts, etc, ticket brokers buy up 90% of the tickets before they even go on sale. Its been this way for YEARS. They buy them at face value then resell them on sites like stubhub for a markup. If theres still over 1300 tickets unsold for a Mayweather event, that's not a good sign.

As long as somebody is buying the tickets that`s fine cause the money from the ticket sales is still gonna go into Floyd`s and Goldenboys pockets regardless for what reason people bought the tickets.

You think 1300 tickets left is a bad sign even though the fight sold over 14,700 tickets.And Floyd/Goldenboy did not even start the major promotion yet and the tickets just recently went on sale.Are you serious or are you trolling?

It's tax season. I wouldn't bet that everyone who is going is rich or a casual fan.

And how does this benefit you or boxing fans in general? Does Floyd or GBP break you off a cut?

The point of my post was that just because 15,700 tickets were sold doesnt mean that 15,700 fans bought them. Only about 10% of the tickets are available to the public. The rest go to the promoters and ticket brokers.

I remember awhile back they had stories about this on shows like 60min & real sports. They were saying even that Congress is getting involved. Now since then I havent heard anything. Do people care? Thats why I say it'll sadly probably take an athlete one day to stand up and change something

Over 1,000 tickets left? That's pretty disappointing. I wonder how long until they start giving Comp tickets away
