Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[El-blanco]

What a fiasco this all was because they were trying to **** over arum, how pathetic

[Kagami Taiga]

You should read the other ticket thread for a laugh. Someone compared TMT's handling of the tickets to the diamond business.

It was like that episode in The Wire where Stringer Bell used what he learned at his community college econ class in the streets by changing the name of the product.

Can't even make this stuff up.

It was actually me who said it. And what I said went completely over the top of your head. I was trying to explain the law of supply and demand. I surmised that they were holding the tickets because they were limiting the supply so that the demand would skyrocket. Which is exactly what happened albeit unintentionally. The ticket prices as of now have tripled. I said greed was the motivation. never said it was a good thing never bogged up TMT at all on fact. I said it was an issue that had everything to do with greedy rich ppl and nothing to do with real boxing fans. But I did say it was like what de beers does with diamonds. All it is was an explination of a simple economic principle. What it wasn't was a justification. Smh, learn to read and stop trying to make everything a Mayweather fan vs. Pac fan battle.

You'd love nothing more than for that to be true.

If Floyd says he is injured this weekend. You will know it is a lie and wants out.

Until they get in the ring and the bell goes for round 1, I won't be 100% sure that Floyd will try and wriggle out of this.

I guess it's not really surprising though.

I'm reminded of Thomas Hauser writing this a long time ago, talking about Haymon...

"He's also believed to have made millions of dollars by reselling tickets for big fights; most notably on De La Hoya vs. Mayweather and Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton (where Alan Haymon Development Inc. had the right to purchase US$3,100,000 worth of tickets at face value)."

It's part of Haymon's business plan to resell tickets to Mayweather fights.

Given that, probably shouldn't be surprised if he'd try to get a couple thousand more tickets than originally agreed upon for the biggest money fight in history.

Bunch of fu kkin morons pbf and tmt are.

I just heard that is was a big fight, not necessarily Pacquiao vs Mayweather.

But if he does, no excuses from you.

But we know you will you can't stop riding Floyd's ****
