Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Maidana Sells Over 14K Tickets, $12 Mill Gate

Shoulderroll is being sarcastic everybody has a excuse to why Floyd is selling; I will say it was more of a difficult process to buyng a ticket for this fight than it was for the Canelo fight.

Didn't know ... I wasn't being sarcastic, I just thought Shoulderroll had some leaked info on the undercard.

[ShoulderRoll]

Yeah just being sarcastic. Any time Floyd sells well people on here say it's because of his opponent or because of his undercard. Right now we can all see that this is not the case, at least with the gate.

But wait a few weeks when more fights get announced for the ppv and the knuckleheads will start saying it again.

Only in boxing can you give away all the tickets to the casino, and to the sexondary brokers, and than claim you sold out or sold such and such amount of tickets.

I bet less than 3/4 of those tickets did golden boy Actuslly receive money for from a purchasing customer.

Such a crock of ****.

Do you seriously think they just gave away all these tickets?

Damn. People must really want to see the undercard featuring TBA.


TBA must have generated a big following after his 24 classics with Gary Russell. TBA is boxing's new cash cow.

This is BS. They are trying to make feel people as if this is a sell out to entice people into getting excited about this fight. Reality is nobody is interested and excited about this fight coz Floyd the lil p ussy has picked a mismatch and a very sh itty easy opponent. This fight will be flop and even Floyd fans will boycott this one...

We should just boycott all of Floyd and mannys fights until they fight each other

It feels like a lot of people already boycotted Manny's last ppv.

There not giving them away but there not selling them either.

It's a pretty intricate system. I'll break down the basics.

The majority of the tickets are either given to secondary brokers or the casino. The secondary brokers sell the tickets at a higher price and haymon and whoever else get a piece.

The casino takes a large amount to give to there favorite clients. The casino doesn't want me and you to have the tickets. They want Pierre the French millionaire who gambles millions and sniffs ******* and screws hookers for a week.

That's why the casino pays for fights, and all the big fights are in Vegas.

Now when the secondary brokers don't sell out, they either will have to cough up some $ for some of the tickets or the casino will agree to take the rest, or magically they'll appear back in the box office.

That's why every Floyd fight is a instant sell out. And why the arena is always empty until the main event. These gamblers don't give a crap about boxing.

And the promoters don't need to worry about ticket sales, everyone wins...




But the real fans...

I knew it.. Only way Mayweather can put butts in the seats is when he faces a Mexican on Cinco de Mayo.. Dude know this, thats why he chose Maidana....
