Post by AntonS »

Info is.....numerous ppv channels around the world had or will withdraw because of insufficient home subscribers, due to fee

Looks like Mayweather's greed has had negative consequences.

If they try and postpone the fight. It will never happen.
At least that is my opinion

Imo, it is just another marketing ploy to get people to commit ahead of time to buying the ppv. The fight will go on as scheduled. Who orders PPV weeks ahead of time anyway? I'll order it on May 2nd....its not like it (PPV) will be sold out.

:doh: Do you honestly believe that Floyd is the one that set the number to be charged and no one else had a say in it?

Australia's Main Event is slugging home viewers $59.95 which is the most it's ever charged Pubs & Clubs, unless they have a yearly contract, probably 2k + They'd need to sell heaps of beer to make it viable.

It's economics 101.

Supply and demand.

Zero supply has demand through the roof.

So when they finally DO release the tickets (which have been ready)...

...each one will go for a small mint.

Smarter folks than us are in charge of this people.

And they know exactly what they are doing.

"Promoter Bob Arum is still unable to explain why there are no tickets on general sale for the super-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on 2 May."

"Contracts with the MGM Grand remain unsigned, while tickets are also not on sale for other venues across Las Vegas."

"After the MGM takes its share of the tickets, each camp is allocated a percentage and is able to resell them to brokers at higher prices."

He does!! Just as he believes that all black Refs will cheat for every black champion especially when they're facing a different race.
