Bob........you've been around a long time. 80 years old. You and you're buddy Don have wrecked the sport........time to go away. Take too many anti-Haymon anxiety pills, have a Haymon-induced heart attach, whatever.....

PBC and RocNation have a great chance and are SPENDING THEIR OWN MONEY to try an put this game back where it belongs..........

So do us all a favor and GTFO the way!!

You do know Haymon has investors, right? He's not spending his own money. With the way he's been throwing cash around for mixed results in terms of ratings and presumably advertising dollars... don't know how long his model can be sustained. He just may have lost his biggest potential post Floyd star when he ******ly matched Chavez up with Fonfara.

Can you prove anything you said?

Of course he cannot. But don't question him, he'll call you a ******. lmao

He is the main promoter. Doesn't change the fact that most of the stuff u listed was agreed to by both sides. Limited press tour, no 24/7 shows, limited promotion. Both sides thought it didn't need any heavy promotion. And it doesn't. It's the most talked about upcoming sports event.

at least get the tickets ****ing right then.

When rich old white men who own private jets like Bob Arum start worrying about tickets, then rich young white men with access to private jets from San Diego like me start worrying too.

Yea, it's the basic law of supply and demand. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what's going on here. And the cheapest tickets are going for $3000 on the market right now and it's supposedly rapidly increasing . Tell me who can afford that? My point is not to defend what's going on, it's just to shed light in why it's happening.. it's not simple negligence n it's all about money. But to most people, it really doesn't matter, they didn't have a shot at those tickets anyways. That's my point.

Yea they are getting them "right" in a way that benefits them the most.

I'll never call anyone a ****** for asking a question and debating. The ******s are the ones like u who add nothing at all to the thread.

I really do hope it will be an empty arena will be kind of cool because the general public who are a really boxing fans (however it seems a few riches are watching the HBO At Last show) will never be able to get hold of tickets for this fight despite debating about it for however long...

However those who believe this isn't a clever way to sell tickets to the richest need to take a lesson from these clever promoters, if the rumour is true the tickets may cost up-to £8,000-£100,000 then would you really pay for that unless you know these are last-minute tickets that you wouldn't get much time to decide on.
Think about it, its like an auction you never really pay much attention to the item for sale till its the last minute call that is when you are in the heat of the moment to grasp hold of it and regret it. because that's when you be like why the hell did I just pay that much.

I gotta give it up to Floyd though, he is right NOW is really the time for this fight had it been a few years ago I don't think it would be this demanding.

[boxingfan1986]

so Mayweather promotions are deliberately holding back tickets in the hope that there is a last week scramble for them with all the high rollers paying silly prices for them?

17,000 tickets sold at an average price of 10,000 makes $170m. That's f'ucking insane. My $10,000 price is very conservative to be honest. Im sure the average will be higher than that.
