Comments Thread For: Mayweather CEO Reacts To Top Rank vs. MGM Dispute

[Kuyukut]

we can't blame ellerbe for defending his live-in sex partner fraud jr. i'll probably do the same thing if i'm gay like both of them but i'm not.

that's all i can say...

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

The MGM didn't say that, it was Bob Arum who claimed they were struggling. So consider the source.

And yes he is lying. You can go on Ticketmaster yourself and compare how many tickets are available for Pac-Bradley as opposed to Mayweather-Maidana.

There's no buzz for Mayweather-Maidana, the fight is a mismatch. I call BS on $14 million.

[-MARKAVELLI-]

Fraud can't sell ticket on her own but will blatantly used Pacquiao's name to hype her mismatch cherry-pick fight! What a ****ing loser!!! :crybaby:

[ShoulderRoll]

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.

Wasn't that press conference already scheduled before the Pac-Bradley fight was even booked?

[feroth]

Who actually believes Bob ARum? We all KNOW MGM is struggling to sell out Pac Bradley but instead of trying to promote that they promote Mayweathers fight that's basically sold out already and has never struggled to put up a big gate? ARum talks out of his ass all the time

[Queen_Leia]

Very classy response from Ellerbe...wishing their event the best.

Tonight fight isn't sold out? What the hell is Manny still doing with Arum?

He lost his box office appeal...just give Floyd 70/30 and make the fight we all want. He needs to stop fighting guys that don't move the needle.

HAIL HYDRA!!!!

Stop being a shill just for one minute and consider that all they did was move tickets to a third party. GBP has been working with ticket brokers for a long time.

You really think that Mayweather-Maidana is going to generate one of the biggest gates in boxing history?

If the MGM bought a bunch of tickets from GBP to sell them on the secondary market (which they did), then the MGM would be struggling if they can't get them to sell in those various non-ticketmaster websites. Arum didn't specify GBP was struggling. His attack was mostly on the MGM.

it'll be much bigger than pac-bradley, which is sad considering how much more competitive pac-bradley is suppose to be.
