Does anyone have any idea about ticket sales?

Looking like it might just fall through altogether so I wouldn't get my hopes up too much if I were you.

Yeah that will be dissapointing

Arum said from the start that he was sceptical about the Malaysian money actually being legit.

Now it looks as though the investors are having money issues.

Pacquiao is probably in over his head when it comes to heading a promotional company.

He doesn't have the business acumen. Eventually he'll go running back to Arum, like De La Hoya did when he tried to go it on his own and found how difficult it was.

The Matthysse fight will very probably be postponed so don't expect any tickets to be available.

In the end, the whole fight may well be flushed down the toilet.

The UFC dictates what McGregor does. Having their biggest star continuing to box instead of fight for them isn't doing them any favors.

You could be right but I am not convinced. A Pac fight would generate huge interest and some of that interest would be directed at the Ufc.

Having their biggest star lose twice to yesterday's news Boxers isn't a good look for the UFC.

De la Hoya is also a name mentioned for McGregor.

But right now, McGregor seems more content simply being a personality instead of a fighter---boxer or MMA.

Wouldn't be surprised if he starts to dabble in motion pictures instead.
