Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: MGM Reserves 5/2, CEO Hopeful

[SkillspayBills]

HBO/Showtime joint PPV
Mayweather vs Khan
Pacquiao vs Crawford

The fights will take place in two separate rings next to each other simultaneously.

I think I'd rather watch Crawford-Pac since I think Crawford is the next FOTD.

Vegas is a great place for the festivities surrounding the fight with all the fans and parties centralized on the strip. Dallas is a dull town and you'd have people scattered around the metroplex.

Just would be cool to see 100,000 boxing fans together for this historic event like the Groves v Froch fight

Yeah a big criwd would be cool but im in Vegas this weekend so i want it all. Parties, clubs, poolside...a full weekend event

DAMN!!! I cannot begin to tell you how excited i am getting!!

The MGM Grand is the only place this fight deserves to be. You can charge more at the casino than any other place.

Vegas is so much better than Dallas for fight weekend. There's way more to do in Vegas. I can't fckn wait! Dallas is ok for the older ppl who like to sleep. I'm only 25 so give me Vegas all day.

The fight would make money for everyone involve except the fans at the MGM, at the Jerry Texas stadium then every fan wins. Well it looks like the fight is happening, got to say am surprised.

Who honestly wants to go to Arlington, TX? Commit at least 3 days, pay whatever it takes to get out there, and then spend the lead up to the event in Arlington, a nice town without much else to see but JerryLand.

If the objective was to truly put on a stadium event, why wouldn't the fight go to the Superdome in New Orleans?

You get the spector of 60,000 fans coming to the fight, while also giving those fans a slate of activities to enjoy in the Big Easy, making an actual week of the fight.

I don't care where the fight is, just announce it already!

[richardt]

They need to announce this fight by Friday or Saturday.

Sick of all these ****** ass ****ing reports. Shut the **** up with this dumb ****. We already know Floyd is fighting at the MGM Grand on May 2nd morons. Big whoop. ****ing articles man. " Hey everybody here's some news, we have confirmed a fight will be taking place on May 2nd at this venue". No **** Sherlock. Now be quiet and stop with these dumb ass articles.

Here we go again, who ever argue with this fool is a moron.

Its just a statement that has been repeated over and over. "imaginary stadium". Am I making that up?

[Scipio2009]

LOL seriously..and I wonder how many tickets will even really be available for the general public. After all the celeb, politician, and high roller tickets are reserved..they'll probably have enough tickets left for 2 or 3 boxing fans lol.


I am hoping that enough Pac fans get in so they can do the Manny chants to make the atmosphere that much better

For Maidana 2 the closed circuit was damn near $100, so I bet this one could be $150.

16k seats at the MGM Grand, with likely the most expansive closed circuit push in the history of the sport (20k-30k seats across all other MGM properties). Honestly doubt that the face value of the closed circuit seats will be over $100; once the tickets sell out, and the secondary/tertiary market gets going, the CC tickets may end up going for $150.

At a certain price point, even if folks made the effort to get themselves to Vegas, it makes more sense to go to a pub/club and watch the fight, or watch at the house, rather than deal with the closed circuit.
