        No mention of the fact that the theater only seats 5,500 people. Not exactly breaking the box office.

        If it's sold out, move it over to the arena.

                Yes, the MSG Theater capacity for boxing is 5,500. I believe they sold it out for the Rigo v. Donaire fight too.

                Not familiar with the production costs associated with a move to the arena, but it seems fair to assume they could've sold 10k+ tickets for this fight.

                I will add that ticket prices were high for this one though.

                    Because Rigo-Loma is a classy affair.
