Look at the Hopkins fight at the Barclay..the rafters completely empty but you couldn't find a damn ticket anywhere. Same for Martinez vs Chavez, same for Garcia vs Morales 2. I've looked into the Brokers for this fight and most i've reached out to weren't able to get tickets to sell either..unless they plan on having 8,000 journalists I don't get why even limit ticket sales to 5,000.
    My guess is that empty seats mean brokers couldn't sell all their tickets.

    GBP basically transfers all the risk of unsold tix to the brokers and casinos. That way they get paid whether there is a butt in the seat or not.

The day the tickets went on sale there were less than 5,000 tickets available at the time they went on sale. Floyd selling 5,000 is no surprise, what I want to know is for people like me who were interested in going to see it live what happened to the other 10,000 plus tickets?
        The fight will be sold out and will do great with the PPV thats the bottom line , what is no surprise is to see negative people like yourself .

          Mayweather knows that without Latinos, he can't do shyt.
          What were his numbers before DLH? Below 500,000? LOL. Thank you!

          Too bad Jim Lampley won't be there, or else we would be hearing: "IT'S A PRO MEXICAN/LATINO CROWD TONIGHT"
          Whoa!!! U need to dilute that juice ur on...

                Well health comes first for me too. If this isnt the first thing you worry about yourself then youve got issues. All the money in the world couldnt save Steve Jobs (RIP).

                And he was referring to Pac not wanting to take tests and him not trusting hes clean and reluctant to get in ring.

                      If i felt someone was cheating and they did everything in their power to avoid the one thing that would show they werent, then yes health would come first for me too.

                      Team Pac thought JMM was cheating and went ahead with fight and how did that end up? Pac out cold, wife crying, best friend punching photographers, possible serious damage, and career may be over. Yeah great choice.

                      But there is another thread for this conversation and thank you for the respect as i also respect all opinions on this forum. Though i think some are just ridiculous
