Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Nothing Slow About Mayweather-McGregor Ticket Sales

[JimmyD729]

Let me translate this. Ticket sales have been slow.

[Tom_Cody]

It's all a matter of framing. GGG fans got excited when he sold out stubhub (of all places) even though the gate was miniscule.

It's looking like they did a great job with the ticket pricing. If they had sold out immediately, then that would just mean they had priced them too low.

Ellerbe is so full of it. Wonder if he had that "Kenny Bayless Look' after he blabbered a big load of horse dookie sprinkled with a fact or two here and there..

LOL

But hey, think of the scalpers. Geez, I'd never have bought heavy on a circus act like this one. I predict this event won't end well for the fighters, or anyone else involved with it. Hopefully the little people get paid at least.

Yeah right

I don't believe for one second that Ellerbe is telling the truth he's a Mayweather gopher and is made to shill any and everything TMT related. Darren Rovell tweeted earlier this week alot of tickets are still unsold and Jim Boone of KO tickets said the prices will eventually be slashed in order to sell all the tickets so stop with this 60 million dollar gate because that's all smoke and mirrors.

"all are because of Floyd Mayweather. A little guy who’s, soaking wet, 147 pounds." .....ugh, P u s s y Mouth needs to be trained on how NOT to sound So Gay when talking about his puppet master.....

The fact that there's thousands of tickets left just 2-weeks out shows that they overshot their expectations on the demands for this fight.

Sure it'll probably sell out eventually, but only after these ticket prices are slashed.

Lastly, don't believe a word that Ellerbe says. If things are going so great, why is he so hostile and angry?

Exactly. I just finished reading an article that stated that there are 7,000 seats still not sold. Not sure how accurate the number Is, but If It Is It shows that the event Is not as hot as people are making It out to be.

Fact is Floyd has never had tickets available on Ticketmaster two weeks before one of his fights

[kushking]

The tickets for Mayweather v. McGregor are way more expensive than Canelo v. GGG. To suggest they're the same is hilarious.

And it has been reportered that both fights have thousands of tickets left by the LA Times

Your dead wrong,theyre about the exact same price & tmobile itself still has thousands left for may vs mcgimp,but stopped selling canelo vs gg 3 weeks after going on sale. The fact that the box office itself has thousands a week away speaks volumes,if you cant understand such common sense then whatever man...

Canelo-Golovkin
"Tickets for Canelo vs. Golovkin are priced at $5,000, $2,500, $2,000, $1,500, $800, $700, $500 and $300, not including applicable service charges and taxes."

Mayweather-McGregor
"Tickets to Mayweather-McGregor went on sale July 24 at exorbitant price points for a boxing event – $500, $1,500, $2,500, $3,500, $5,000, $7,500 and $10,000."

Verdict: You don't know what the **** you're talking about.
