People don't realize gate numbers in Vegas doesn't really matter. The Mandalay Bay probably put up several million just to host the fight then made tens of millions off of the ******** and money spent in their casino. The gate is just gravy on top.

Yup! This is probably the biggest boxing gate of the year so far..

You do know there's more people in the casino than just the people watching the fight right? -_-

These are straight up sales, thats actually pretty damn good. I'm sure they comped quite a few more to fill up seats, but thats still pretty good.

OK, so let's compare boxing's biggest PPVs vs MMAs biggest PPVs. NO COMPARISON! Now, what's that you say about boxing? Go to an MMA site little one, you don't belong here.

People don't understand that type of high level information, speak to the level of your audiences j/k. People use attending a fight in Vegas boxing as an excuse to go get down and dirty in Sin City, tickets purchased is just the proof you went down there with a purpose. What is there 2 do in Denver or Houston after the fight anyway?

Lol broner shi*s on all these fighters that aren't on ppv, he outsells everyone he does numbers higher than everyone except maybe canelo. He sells out arenas already. Lol he's the future no doube I expected this fight to sell out and do huge ratings but it didnt. Broner and canelo **** on all these fighters. You guys claim that there aren't alot of great fights being out on but when their are they don't sell. Bradley's fight did more than this fight.

LOL I haven't heard anything about Broner selling out anything, I dont think he even sells out arenas in his home town.

Outright lies to all of the bold. He doesn't even come close to selling out arenas. And the ticket prices of his fights are extremely low. I think they were selling them for $20 in his last couple.
