Comments Thread For: Arum Shakes Head at Mayweather-Pacquiao Ticket Snafu

[ThePrince]

The build up to this fight is so weird.

Tickets not on sale yet
No press tour
You even have to pay for the weigh in.

Thank Floyd 'A-Side' Mayweather for putting on a master class on how to promote a fight.

Haha I'm so middle class and had totally given up even being able to go so I didn't even notice they didn't have tickets yet. Never figured they'd be released to the general public anyway. I realized I had no chance of going after all my friends turned down buying my left testicle for 10 grand.

[SN!PER]

There are a lot of counterfeit tickets being sold online lol...

I have a feeling they're going to fk up this event somehow, we'll see.

the remaining tickets are gonna go to people who can fly at a moments notice....who have private jets... basically rich people.

Don't be surprised if Floyd pulls out this week.

I didn't get excited wwhen the fight was announced. This, is why.

Amateur hour promoting

The ticket **** is inexcusable. I've been going to fights and CC for years.. this the biggest mess I've seen ever.

I've had like 8 people drop out of going because of this CC ticket crap. It's too late in the game to have that $150 (or more) hanging over people's head when the rest of trip is already super expensive.

And don't let the CC tickets all get funneled to broker sites trying to mark those up, too. That will be disgusting

This never would have happened if Golden Boy was still promoting Floyd's fights. TMT is strictly amateur.

.... And Floyd wonders why people are so tired of him and his team.. May 2nd can't come fast enough... If there's a rematch in September, top rank will take the lead and we'll all see an organized promotion clinic compared to this..

I don't know about that. I think the majority of the tickets in question are nosebleeds, mid section. I'm sure the ringside, up close seats have already been bought by the sort of people you described.
