    Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: MGM Shuts Out The Competition

    If you're gonna be in Vegas for the big fight ... and you're not at an MGM property ... you will be out of luck -- because MGM honchos are blocking competitors from showing Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao ... TMZ Sports has learned.

    Here's what we know ... MGM has an exclusivity deal which blocks rival hotels on the Vegas Strip from showing the fight -- and that includes in-room, in bars, in the casino ... anywhere.

                      What's amazing is how Floyd gets a percentage of the profit of every room that is sold. I bet he came up with this idea..

                      Pacquiao not going to get any of this.

                          They never showed the fight in the casino sportsbooks, or in casino bars..and it would be rare to have a room that allowed that sort of PPV so that is normal. What does suck is that any non-MGM hotel can't throw their own private VIP closed circuit sort of thing for their gamblers, not everyone wants to venture from their hotels to watch it...they want everyone pushed to MGM hosted closed circuits because these dudes get a piece. The whole thing is much too controlled to this point. Only 1000 tickets for the general public is laughable as well

                                  Can't the guests from other hotels enter the bars or casinos inside mgm hotels to watch the fight?? Appreciate it if someone clarifies this, as I was thinking on going to vegas for fight weekend.

                                      So if you're in a non MGM hotel in Vegas you can't even order the fight on PPV?

                                      What kind of **** is that
