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

I would agree to a point .... In a stadium, you would still end up watching the big screen most of the time. Aside from being part of the event, HDTV will do fine.







..................... unless the stream craps out

This is the closest you can get from a Floyd fan agreeing somehow on the stadium.

But what he did was an example of "yes, but" principle.

You agree a little but contradicts a lot more.

that keep me thinking why Floyd delayed the fight announcement. What exactly did he got out of it?

It was announced I believe Feb 20, a very non significant day. If he announced it on his birthday a mere two days later at least Floyd fans will have something to argue about but why Feb 20?

Malinowski broke the news a day earlier, announcing the fight on that day does not necessarily mean he signed it on that same day too.

they agreed to terms earlier.

remember when pac/arum kept saying "WAITING FOR FLOYD"

floyd fans kept saying arum was full of it. well.....

plus when floyd agreed he delayed announcing.

Yeah. Pac said several times during interviews that everything was settled but part of the agreement is that Team Mayweather is the only party that has the power when it comes to announcement of the fight.

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.

What's amazing is how stupors ****s like yourself give a damn abut this and post stuff like this on here... Who gives a ****.... Must be nice to have mayweather mail you a check for all you d I ck riding..

floyd doesnt want the mgm full of real boxing fans, he knows the crowd will turn on him and starting chanting for manny manny once the first punch lands and he pulls out the bicycle-

he knows thats how it would be if he werent controlling the tickets!!

warming up your excuse?

I need some clarification quick or I'm cancelling my trip to Vegas. There's no reason to bother going if watching the actual fight will be a huge hassle. This has been the worst promotion imaginable, and there's way too many details left unknown for the fight to be little over a month away.

[JRB123]

Well, I guess I'm not goin to Vegas then. My friends had rooms booked on that day way before they announced the fight. Was planning on watching it at a club or bar, and spending a lot of money on the strip that weekend. That just settles it. They should be pissed.

Talked to wife and so far we are still going.

She told me she is getting ready for event, fight is secondary....ok

I had my flight booked in January and my friend reserved rooms in multiple hotels...now with this announcement, my friend is seriously reconsidering going to Vegas...smh

I'm a fan of Floyd, but to let this happen is just some f*** s*** to me. I know he has two fights with Showtime/CBS/MGM left but cot dayum...If I knew that the fight would be handled like this, I would be skeptical about going.

Not a good look for boxing at all...

Some of you are just flat uninformed "haters". "Floyd doesn't want real boxing fans" WHAT?? LOL You can't make this nonsense up. I didn't realize Floyd was also the OWNER of the MGM PROPERTIES too.

Anyways, as said by someone here which was completely IGNORED (not surprising) the MGM isn't JUST the MGM if you've ever been to Vegas.

MGM PROPERTIES consist of - Bellagio Vdar
Delano
Monte Carlo
New York New York
Luxor
Excalibur

and Mandaly Bay where I saw Guerrero vs. Mayweather at.

All of them won't be showing it I'm sure but there's more than enough properties on the strip than just the MGM Grand that MGMProperties owns and has shown fights.


Still laughing at the idiotic "floyd doesn't want real fans" comment.

[-PANDA-]

its basic economics: supply and demand

the MGM can raise their prices now that they have a monopoly on showing the fight and people WILL pay for it...this will also attract high rollers to the casinos while reducing the chance of overcrowding the city thus maximizing profits
