Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquaio: Ticket Brokers Losing Their Shirts

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The broker who bought 80 tickets and only sold 20 can minimally sell the remaining 60 at the price he paid I'd think and would still have made a profit on the 1st 20. The article does not make sense...but I wouldn't feel sorry for a ticket scalper losing money.

Maybe the price he paid is beyond face value, maybe double. If he can't flip it for at least the price he paid, his profit off the first 20 shrinks with every passing hour.

It's embarrassing what has gone on with the tickets. Amateur Mayweather Promotions is the reason. If the tickets were printed months ago this wouldn't be an issue. But it's a joke an event this big had to wait a week before the tickets were created. imagine if the super bowl tickets were issued a week before the game and the domino effect and chaos it would create. That's what going on. There are reports that hotels in Vegas that they thought were booked really aren't and the hotel's are slashing prices the day before the fight.

If Top Rank or any major promoter handled the lead promotions these issues wouldn't of happened.

Never would have happened. Nevada is the only state that permits Xylocaine usage for one...and Nevada makes all kinds of considerations that favour Mayweather because he can generate so much money for Las Vegas.

Lidocaine is widely used and approved as a sports medicine in USA and abroad. No state in the US bans Xylocaine, you idiot.
