7k tickets still available for May-Mac?

[Scipio2009]

Scalpers are screwed.
They over estimated the hype.

Maybe so, but it's not on Floyd to feed the scalpers, though. If the building seats 20k people and 17k seats have already been sold, that'd seem to suggest that tickets were pretty accurately priced (need to see the sections where tickets are still available, but the trend to a sellout seems pretty likely still before the event).

Scalpers taking an L ever so often helps fans out in the long run.

It is going to make lots of money, lots of PPV buys, big numbers, might even break records, etc, etc....and watch the fight suck.

It seems to always happen with these Super Event fights.

De La Hoya-Trinidad, De La Hoya-Mayweather, Mayweather-Pacquiao and now Mayweather-McGregor. They all have the huge fight hype in common, the only difference is people weren't expecting those other fights to suck. The Mayweather-McGregor fight will make big money and people know it will suck at the same time. Lol

This is where boxing has gone to folks.

Sounds about right. Lol

Tickets have been sold out from a wholesalers prospective (ticket brokers). If there more tickets in the secondary market I think fans cannot afford it.

He's a degenerate gambler who largely bets on favorites, at the same sportsbook; with the log of bets available, there's no doubt in my mind that Floyd's tax attorney has him set in a "******** business", giving him a tax shelter to offset any losses as his hobby/business expense.

Floyd still only really driving a car that he bought almost a decade ago makes it pretty clear that he's just running around buying vehicles (for the cars that they've shown him buying recently, he's basically kept things to one-of-a-handful type vehicles that he's been able to flip like art pieces).

When not putting his face in front on one of his shows, or making appearances at his gentleman's club, Floyd's either traveling the world on his jet (there's already been talk of Floyd flipping his 2 jets and a bit of scratch for one brand new jet) or chilling at one of his homes around the country.

With residual payments (free cash, basically) coming to him that likely total north of $25m a year at this point (he was already at $12m a year before the Alvarez fight I think, so you can add the Alvarez, Pacquiao, and McGregor takes to the investment pot), Floyd is counting down from a ridiculously high number every month at this point.

Floyd's grown, has the same 2-5 women that he sticks with (depending on what you think the relationships with the women close to him are), and if he were to wife one of them at some point, there's no doubt in my mind that there's going to be a pre-nup in place.

Floyd's got 4 children that he'll spoil through their 18th birthdays (maybe helping them after that, but I doubt any of them simply get to just spend his money after that)

You act as though you know him personally. Some cats will defend this clown to the death. Five paragraphs of speculation. You think he's driving around in one ten year old car like a suburban dad? How do you know which women he is with or how many? Floyd's the only gambler in the world who is betting on a sure thing, ok.

There's enough out there, in the public sphere, to counter all of the doom and gloom rhetoric about Floyd, regardless of how hard that is for folks like you to swallow.

Most people don't know sh^t about streaming. People been streaming for like a decade or whatever at this point.

Granted its getting more mainstream, but I think most cats are just gonna have a lil party like they do for PPV fights & collect $10-$25 per person or just buy it on behalf of their guests & make a night of it.

Streaming is for people watching alone.

Who would invite a group of friends with drinks and food only to rely on a low quality buffering stream that may get taken down at any moment?

You can stream on a big stream TV. And there are some high quality streams out there nowadays. Plus you can't stop all of it.

I'm not saying its not better watching a legal version of any fight with no fear of bs happening to you or anything with a bunch of people you enjoy being around, but streaming is an legit option for people who may have curiousity but not the party-fever to go along with it or whatever. But I get what you are saying & I don't fully disagree with it.

This fight probably will not do as well as people seem to think on PPV either.

This is what I said a long time ago. Every keeps talking about it being bigger than Pacquiao but it's clearly not. The purses are smaller, the hype, specifically internationally is nowhere near and teh boxing fans don't want it.

UFC and Irish fans will buyt it, as will the black American fans, which pushes it over the 2 million mark....but it's nowhere near 4 mill.
