[Wizardsh]

Mayweather CEO what a joke trying to hard for a company that has already failed

[jas]

So Ellerbe is saying MGM grand lied about struggling to sell mayweather maidana tickets

[way2strong]

he didn't say anything to bad he kept it professional

the TR-Tards are gonna come storming in this thread mad as hell. lmao.

There is no way in hell that they actually sold a 14 million gate in real world terms. Someone is going to lose a lot of money, it won't be Mayweather though.

According to Ellerbe, the Mayweather-Maidana event is sitting on a much higher pedestal in terms of the economics involved and the overall interest - stating that his company would have no reason to piggyback on another event.

Uh, that's exactly what they're doing right now. Holding a press conference in the MGM in the same day Pacquiao fights. Just a coincidence I bet.
