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

[-PBP-]

the ppl that are getting tickets are coming in on jets, planes or are gonna have suites rented out. these are high rollers and extremely rich ppl. this has nothing to do with the middle class guy who never had a chance to get a ticket in the first place. u can bet your money all these tickets are already pretty much accounted for. its all about them going to the highest bidder. u seem to misunderstand whats going on here. arum has a right to be mad. i dont blame him. but this isnt hurting the fight or the revenue vegas will make. only ******s would think so.

The fight is sold out already. They sell the tickets to brokers and the risk has been entirely transferred to the brokers at this stage. Vegas, Top Rank, Mayweather Promotions, Al Haymon and everybody else likely have their money already.

^actually, the brokers don't have the tickets either right now. thats why some are puling out. or else they would sell them right now. the risk is still on the promoters. supposedly still not a signed contract between them and MGM

I wasn't aware of that. I can see a lot of lawsuits coming out of this from people that bought tickets from brokers who may not even be able to get them.

Floyd seems to be making sure everyone he knows that wants tickets gets them first. He is taking care of his people before everyone else. That's what people in this position do.

Hell, Bob 2 weeks ago after saying no one gets in for free said Ronda Rousey could get a ticket from him.

Is what it is.

so tickets is on hold until floyd serve his people first? because there's a shortage of tickets and floyd has a big entourage right LOL.

[Hype job]

u think there isnt???

I smell a Floyd "injury" pull-out announcement coming very soon. when it happens, Floyd is out of business and he is out of Las Vegas.

And if he did his fans would justify it and claim "Pacstans are the worst fans in sport"

Should've built the outdoor stadium

[Twako]

you have to be a diehard, in your nuts, floyd fan to view this as anything than outrageous.

[$tate of Mind]

Why invest heavily in something that isn't happening? Floyd wants to pull out of this fight so badly but he wants to find a way to put the blame on PAc. That's why this crazy ass defamation thing just pops up out of nowhere stating that Pac has to go to court and testify whether or not Ariza gave him mysterious drinks, lol. I know what it is......they want to parlay this court case thing into a way out of the fight.

They needed to do just enough promotion to make it believable that the fight was going to happen but Floyd never wanted it. It'll either be this or an injury later on this week. Floyd will hurt his hand or twist an ankle while running if they can't make this Ariza defamation thing get ungly real quick.

The sad thing is I think you genuinely believe this

Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum tells me he is mostly satisfied w/ticket allotment & could sign contract for fight either tonight or tomorrow
