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

Guess that proves Mayweather fan are just fanboys who love Floyd whilst Pacquiao supporters are true fans of the sport and only shell out for great competitive match ups.

Maidana is a huge draw! People are only buying all these tickets for the stacked undercard!

the stacked undercard that has zero fights so far? its always something besides floyd even tho if u put someone in his place same fight same card would sell half or less

Quoting for you guys who missed the post.

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...

1.4m PPV Showtime need to hit to be in profit.

I don't think they will hit it.

they profit regardless as mayweather events breed new boxing fans they are now arguably the better boxing network because of floyd dont u get it they win even if they lose

Fanboys, watch Mayweather fights not other boxing fights. And a loss is a loss.

Crazy deal by Showtime, Maidana better do over 1.4m or the Showtime execs won't be happy.

rios? 42 year old marquez? seriously?

Pacquiao vs Marquez has been the greatest series of fights in boxing history.

Quite a few people didn't buy Rios vs Pacquiao fight by comparison.


Floyd could fight Josie Harris again and the fanboys will still pay 80 bucks to see it

Headline should read casinos, brokers, and sponsors have 14,000 tickets. This fight is way over priced and Mayweather will dominate and win 120-108 in front of a lot of empty seats.
