    WBC President, Mauricio Sulaiman, says that a very special exquisite belt will be created for the winner of the May 2nd historic Mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, taking place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

    “For this special recognition I would like to have emeralds or platinum, but everything will be defined during the next few weeks. This is because of the magnitude of the event, which will be broadcast via TV networks globally,” Sulaiman said.

        No one is paying $500 to sit in the nosebleeds of a 70,000 seat stadium. The economics of the situation simply don't work.

        Pacquiao-Clottey brought in $6.5m on a paid crowd of almost 37,000. Charge double and sell 70,000 tickets and you've barely moved beyond what Mayweather-Alvarez brought in at the gate.

        $30m-$50m is the target for the gate for Mayweather-Pacquiao; to generate that type of revenue at Texas Stadium would almost literally mean charging four times whatever Top Rank charged for Pacquiao-Clottey ($50, $100, $200, $300, $500 & $700, respectively) http://stadium.dallascowboys.com/eve...B&viewas=40250

        $2800, $2000, $1200, $800, $400 and $200 for nosebleeds, in Arlington, TX of all places. GTFOH

            They always do this. It's not another championship title.

              Its a just nostalgic belt that won't be defended or anything, this for the real 147lb championship as far as I am concerned......Brook is a nobody and can make no argument really so I will consider the winner undisputed WW champion.

                I think they're trying to compete with HBO & Showtime as far as shˇtty-Spanish-to-English translation...because seriously, those 2 dudes are HORRIBLE....
