NFT: Mayweather vs Pacquiao live gate to generate $74 million+

MiamiHurricaneFan : 3/25/2015 12:59 pm
that is just ticket sales alone. Ringside seats are going for $25k and up.

Nosebleeds are over $5k.

There will be limited ticket available to the public if at all.

The PPV record is going to get shattered not only in the US but worldwide.

Just posting to show how massive this fight is going to be.
It will be the most overblown  
UConn4523 : 3/25/2015 1:04 pm : link
sports even in history most likely. My friend is throwing a cool Derby event that day/night with the fight so I'll watch since I'll be there anyway. But man, this thing is getting more of a social event than anything else.
I can't wait to watch!

look at the guy above me.

Sounded like the negative nancies who claimed it was 5 years too late and he's not interested.

Now he's claiming it's going to be boring and just a social event.

These people are mentally ILL people who have nothing better to do than keep saying nothing positive.

The fight will be the most watched fight of all time. Fact.
THe fight has already shatter every boxing record fact.

weird, boxing just signed huge contracts with ESPN/NBC

but the rest of the country doesn't care, right?

Boxing ratings are HIGHER than ever.

You are not a boxing fan so please stop talking like one.

No sh1t you're not going to watch anymore boxing after this fight. YOU'RE NOT A BOXING FAN! The ignorance of some people is amazing.

was that for the quickest knockout ever? most punches thrown in a round? first poster to get his panties in a bunch over a single post?

It IS 5 years too late.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 3/25/2015 1:11 pm : link
Everyone's going to watch it regardless, but it doesn't change that fact. We're kind of ingrained and trained to expect to pay bloated prices for boxing.

Whoever can manage to get control of the prize fighting world and bring it in line is going to be rich beyond dreams.
I would have bought it 5 years ago. Now I don't care....at all.

you root for the side dish



Filthy knows whats up.
Im rooting for Manny but he is old and will most likely get crushed

Pacquiao is old?

You realize Mayweather is older right? ANd has been figting at the championship level for almost 20 years now, right?

So not really giving a shit about this event makes a person mentally ill? You have a very low standard for mental illness.
its still 2 great fighers... boxing  
hitdog42 : 3/25/2015 1:21 pm : link
is in a similar spot the NBA was a few years back... people who have no clue just default hate on it... literally clueless.

a lot of great fights in boxing and great fighters. yes its corrupt and stupid that the right fights don't happen... but its still a pretty good product.

the fight will be very good. if you don't want to buy it... don't buy it.
What the fuck...  
FatMan in Charlotte : 3/25/2015 1:22 pm : link
somebody is considered mentally ill because they question how great an event featuring two guys nearing or already over the hill will be to watch?

Christ - this is one of boxing's last legitimate attempts to stay relevant and it probably has come years too late, but people look to the sport as if it is on the brink of a huge resurgence because of slightly more TV exposure and now hype for this event?

Let's see what the landscape looks 6 months after this fight before flying off the handle and making fun of people for airing valid concerns.
That's a lot of money to spend...  
Britt in VA : 3/25/2015 1:28 pm : link
to watch 12 rounds of Floyd doing what Floyd does in a snoozer, and winning by decision.

I had more interest in this pre-Manny getting knocked the eff out.

As far as the "massive" contract with NBC, wasn't it actually a boxing promotor that paid the massive money to get the fights on those stations?

The reason most of the public doesn't know about it is because they spent all of their money up and haven't had any to use on advertising.

I'm all for boxing having a resurgance and being on national TV, but it remains to be seen... What were the ratings for that card they had on NBC last month? Curious.
