LMAO…How come there are so many tickets left available???
Big fights are sold out in a matter of hours of in a day or two. One week left and many ticket
are still available..lol
Drop the RANDOM get in the ring Rabbit! NO excuses NO BS… Face the great Pacman!!!
P4P rankings are just like college football polls,u move up or down according to who you fight/play.Now if #1 P4P fights #8,and a fighter not rank in the top ten and #2 fights #3 and #5,he will in my opinion be ranked #1 P4P.Now does the fighter not in the top ten jump to #1 if he beats #1 P4P,no.P4P is just rankings or opinions nothing legit.
lol, wowzabean still going on with that nonsense? Manny never beat the P4P #1, he inherited the ranking after Mayweather retired. Now that Floyd’s back and taking on the #1 WW and #3 P4P contender, then yeah, a solid victory over Shane probably puts him at the #1 P4P ranking, especially if Pac looks crappy against Clottey, who’s not even close to being a P4P contender.
By Wowzabean’s ridiculous math, if Clottey beats Pac, he’s the new #1 P4P contender. LOL, what a dunce.
Jaysmooth do us a favor go get a job your on this post from all hours of the day. Ethier your Mayweather or some Unemployed Floyd groupie

It is becoming clear why Mayweather is known as “Money May.”
This is B.S. Nobody really cares to see Mayweather fight, they just want to see him lose. That’s why his fights have big numbers. They are cetainly not because of his fans. So it’s unfair to say that of Mayweather-i gurantee Mosley has more fans than Mayweather.
Regardless of what the resoning is for people wanting to watch Mayweather fights the facts are that he sells alot of PPV and those who fight him get there biggest Pay-days ever. Everyone wants to say they saw when Floyd suffered his first lost. I want pay for the fight bc i will be getting it for free bc i am deployed. But if i was home in the states, i would buy both fights because i am a true boxing fan and i appreciate all aspects of it..

Sure! Hopkins can fight Pac but as I’ve said, he already ducked Pacquiao.
Lots of people in here knows nothing about business, first of all if Golden Boy wanted to sell 100k ticket trust me, they would of setup the fight in a stadium too, but the amount of tickets has no value, is the quality of the tickets, in this case “the price”. What Vegas will offer and provide for this fight, no stadium in the world can.
Everybody can sell 100k tickets for a fight if the ticket prices are below average. Golden Boy/Floyd they chose for the $$$ target market/segment and Arum chose another “the people” and “differentiating” themselves.

I’m the idiot? You have to beat number 1 to be number 1, I’m pretty sure that’s how it works in boxing, basketball, football, baseball and any other facet of life.
When you deal with rankings, especially once when you are comparing apples and oranges you can’t say he has to beat the number 1. so, if B-Hop wants to be the true P4P champion he can request to fight Pacaquaiao. Is that what you are say..Those just look at the body of work you have accumulated.
He has beaten the #1… LIGHTWEIGHT!

@JAYSMOOTH, it’s common sense, which you seem not to have. It’s P4P, ranking fighters regardless of weight class. They’re both WW, so the weight factor cancels out and whatever ranking they have on WW should also be their P4P rank as well. Well, anyway, we’ll see who’s the real #2 after May 1st.
Let’s just get back to the issue Mosley is going to make mayweather look stupid and weak.
Its no surprise it will get sold out as MGM only holds 17,000 seats with little tvs in little corners….the Texas Stadium holds over 100,000 and a HDTV the size of a 3 Story Building!!
I dont see why Pacman vs. Clottey cant make over 3 million PPV….the March 13 fight provides a very exciting fight its exciting as Pacman is very exciting to watch !! non-stop ANNIHILATION !!! I wouldnt be surprised if MMA, Kick Boxing and Martials Arts enthusiast will be watching the Pacman -Clottey fight !

It’s funny how the Ring ranks Floyd at #2 P4P overall, but #3 next to Manny & Mosley in WW.
Whats so funny about that? Thats the way it should be. He hasn’t fought a WW since coming from retirement so he couldn’t be ranked higher than them n the division until he fights and beats someone in WW division. Thats basic logic and understand..Something i see some of you lack alot of…
@JesusJones says:
Once again, i see you didn’t read the entire post. You have selective reading and selective understand. Quit taking bits and pieces of my post and trying to flip it. I don’t remember exactly what i said. But i am certain you have it saved somewhere bc you have no life. I was making a comparison between Manny, Tiger, MJ, Kobe and LBJ. I was saying that Manny wasn’t a big fish like those guys were in the media. I didn’t go into the details of his life or relationship or affairs or anythings else. No, i am not trying to school you because you don’t see things through logic or reality. so for me to even try to talk to you is like talking to a tree. So, yes i am talking to you if you can understand me..If you are lost, i will be glad to explain in dept to you..

lovboxing@ floyd has been beaten in amateur his record 84 win and 6 defeats ,he has been beaten .manny didnt do amateur but he lost 2 lose 48ko 50 win 2 draws.
both of them have loses ,only shawn porter has been undefeated in 276 amateur fight and 9 pro fight so he undefeted in a 285 fights total..
……………………………………………………..
are you serious right now? I am totally convinced that most of you guys are dumb, ignorant, and fake boxing fans. Amateur boxing is just was the name says amateur. Since when do you take college stats and carry them over to the NFL, MLB or NBA. Do you know that when you box amateur that you box between 3-6 rounds on some occassions 8. So, to use that to say he lost Amateur fights is petti. It just another way for you and the likes of you to try to find a flaw in floyd and give your boi Pacquiao an advantage when there isn’t one. Get a life and like WOWWWEBEAN or what ever his name is, the two of you need to go to a playground and play with kids and stop trying to conversate with grown MEN because you are way out off your league.
@ JAYSMOOTH
You of all people trying to school me on this game. You were the one crying about Pacquiao having other woman on the side and that that bull and now you are telling me to take this to the side.
I told you once before about walking me like a dog around the block. You can do it to some of these cats but this old dog got you running around like a hamster on a thread mill. Go school some more. I let you apologize once and that was good. Now lets move on now shall we my little pet rock.

He beat them all… just like Cavs beats most of the teams in the NBA, so they’re #1. These fight is just like the NBA playoffs, #1 vs #4 & #2 vs #3… Hopefully we’ll see the winners of both fights go against each other after these bouts for the Championship!………………………………………………
You are just as ignorant as the guy u are trying to defend. This isnt a 1 vs 4 match up in Clottey vs Pacquaio. Now, i am curious to know as well who has he beaten to be considered #1.

lol..that is the funniest thing you have said so far and you have said some funny stuff. ” your gramma is horrendous” To be real I didn’t know we were being graded on our grammar or spelling. Thats why they created short-hand.

Diesel,
BTW, you won’t find the #1 P4P after May 1st, you’ll just see who locks in the #2 seed. Sorry but a #2 can’t beat a #3 and be #1. It’s like if Orlando Magic beats the Celtics, they’re ranked above the Cavs, doesn’t make sense now does it………………………………………………….
You are really stupid. You say you can’t become #1 by beating a number #3. Yes, he can if the #1 is fighting a number (not ranked) then the #2 could move up because he has fought better competition. I he convincely beat Shane then i don’t see why he wouldn’t move up..Like i said if…When they determine P4P rankings they actually use caliber of fighter as a gauging criteria. Its call your strength of schedule in other sports. So, in reality and for people who understand logic you can move up without beating #1. Besides Shane is the #1 Welterweight and he has a Belt. you are really a joke
Wowzabean,
You are something worse than an idiot, because it seems you don’t know you are one.

Mayweather and Mosly sold out for 17,000 tickets.
Pacquiao and Clottey sold out for 45,000 tickets.
Lets do the math.
Who sold more tickets?
Now we only have to wait who could sell more on PPV.
Facts Mayweather and Mosly are both Americans fighting in American soil.
Pacquiao and Clottey are both outsider and fighting here in America.
I wonder if Pacquiao and Clottey is Americans, they probably sell all 80,000 sits in the Texas Stadium!
…………………………………………………….
Yeah stupid, they did sell more tickets bc they were in a “FOOTBALL STADIUM”. Which hold over 100,000 plus people compared to the casino where Mayweather and Mosley will fight it only hold around 20,000 people. Now you go back and do some more make. Problem solving to be exact. I f*^K dumb and ignorant can some of you people be. I think even a kindergartener could have figured out if you have more settingyou are going to get more people.
@wowzabean says:
March 9, 2010 at 11:02 pm
The point is at the end of the day Manny still makes more and Forbes ranked him higher for ‘09.
………………………………………….
you are exactly right he did make the Forbes List. Did Mayweather box the entire year last year. Did Oscar box at all last year. The answer is no and thats your answer to why Manny made so much money..

Money May is definitely going to need a large sum of money for the defamation lawsuit with Manny Pacquiao. Now one of his entourage has been apprehended from the skating rink incident last August. If you can recall the 24/7 last year with Mayweather roller skating in the ring with his kids. He’s going to need that money to keep his boy from dropping dime. He’s looking at 94 years. Man, it’s going to be a lump sum of money to keep him quiet…. And on another criminal note, 1 felony count was drop for Uncle Roger Mayweather. Alright, just a few more to go and it’s gravy train again.
Pressure is all on Money May come May 1st 2010. Will he lose cause theirs just too much on his plate, or will he win it cause he knows he needs the money or else.
In any case for all you Floyd fans. It’s all down hill from here. That little bird will sing a song like no tomorrow. Hope they got the very best Vegas Detectives has to offer on this one. Floyd is going to need xy-lo-caine injected in his head when he hears the bad news.
You are very very ignorant. This is a boxing page, the intent here is to talk about boxing and not peoples personal life. If you want to do that go to some gossip form and post those comments. If you can’t talk intelligent boxing, this isn’t the place for you.. i am more than certain they are things that we could say personally about every boxer out there. Just like Morrisson getting arrested for weed. But it not called for. The defamation lawsuit is legit to talk about but have you seen anything lately on this matter. If so please enlighten me on it.
Quit with the low blows and keep it Clean….
It’s all bullsh*t and hype.This fight is NOT sold out. Do a simple ticket search, there are literally THOUSANDS of tickets for sale all over the place including the MGM Grand.

This isn’t news, it’s 17,000 seats! I know that this is in response to the articles about Pac’s fight selling out, but that is 45,000 seats and it is the first fight ever in Cowboy Stadium! That is news because of the number of seats and the venue. Don’t get me wrong, Mosely-Mayweather is by far the better fight; Pac-Clottey is a bigger “event” than it is a fight IMO.
LOL…are you seriously going to try to compare the capacity of a football stadium which hold 100,000+ people to a casino which is only set up to hold what 17,000 people. The Mayweather vs Mosley fight has nearly sold out in one day with seats ranging from 150-1250 dollars. It took the Pac-Clottey fight to get to 40,000+ with the $50 sets. I am pretty sure if shane and Floyd fought in bigger location they would have sold more tickets. 17,000 is the most they are going to allow to sit. Unlike the Dallas BS that keep extendin they seating.
@mr.sweetsci- But, what was Manny’s PFP ranking after he beat those HOF’s, when Floyd was still active?
I’m still astonished that a lot of people are still in denial that Floyd in no longer the no 1 P4P, Floyd is not the Fighter of the Year nor the Fighter of the Decade. Respected Boxing analysts have made the decision that PACMAN is the no 1 P4P. Deal with it.
Lil giant…..here’s your answer, name any hall of famers from super featherweight all the way up to welterweight. and please don’t make any excuses for these hall of famers he beat. can you name at least one? here’s one for you….Marco Antonio Barrera. want one more? Erik Morales.
It’s funny how the Ring ranks Floyd at #2 P4P overall, but #3 next to Manny & Mosley in WW.
lol @Bri, so you mean he should fight Hopkins? That would be great! For the record, Hopkins ducked Pacquiao
@rat-tat
Floyd was never beaten after being named the muthical “P4P” champion. Furthermore, he has never lost as a professional, which is what matters.
lovboxing@ floyd has been beaten in amateur his record 84 win and 6 defeats ,he has been beaten .manny didnt do amateur but he lost 2 lose 48ko 50 win 2 draws.
both of them have loses ,only shawn porter has been undefeated in 276 amateur fight and 9 pro fight so he undefeted in a 285 fights total..
Aye Bri, what the hell happened to Pacland? It seems like they’ve actually calmed down. Bet we are gonna have to hear it if Clottey don’t throw no punches.
In Pac’s defense, Cotto was his first dip into the welterweight pool, so we couldn’t really expect him to take on Mosley right off top. Now if he get’s past Clottey he should be ready to step up.
hait to kill your theory cain but clottey is rated #20 p4p in the world. its more like the lakers matchin up with orlando and cleveland matchin up with the bobcats. everyone manny faced has come off a sizable loss. delahoya — floyd. hatton — floyd cotto —- antonio clottey —– cotto. and next opponent is suppose to be antonio who lost to —- mosley. had not matched up with #2 or #3 p4p and they are both in his weiht class. should have matched up with mosley instead of cotto. mosley was willin to drop to 140 manny said no. said no money in matchin up with mosley. mosley floyd seem to be doin ok
Floyd is still the P4P champ since he has never been beaten. If anything Pac is the “interim” champ.
Of course Pac earned more in 09′ since he had two fights to Mayweathers 1. We know that Mayweather earned around $20 mil for his fight with JMM and I think Manny made about $30 in his two fights.
No one should be bragging about this selling out, but no one should be bragging about “45,000″ either. Everyone knows that is a sham since Jerry Jones is footing the bill on a lot of them. Furthermore, they are charging around $50 for most of the seats.
If Mayweather v Mosley was in Cowboys Stadium they would probably sell 70K+, without the Jones sham.
Look at the sponsors for Mayweather v Mosley. Arum could never sniff sponsors like that.
He beat them all… just like Cavs beats most of the teams in the NBA, so they’re #1. These fight is just like the NBA playoffs, #1 vs #4 & #2 vs #3… Hopefully we’ll see the winners of both fights go against each other after these bouts for the Championship!
Still waiting on the answer to my question. Who did Manny beat to be number 1
lil giant,
Your grammar is horrendous, to put it lightly, don’t post to me please. I don’t have to respond, you’re simply a microcosm of what is ALL Mayweather fans.
JERRY JONES PURCHASED 30,000 DOLLERS WORTH OF TICKETS FIRST DAY OF SALES FOR MANNY CLOTTEY. thats why its been weeks and they still have not sold out. secound tickets are cheep as hell. 50 to 700 dollers. so sorry but manny clottey did not sell out. they have cut prices and are basically throwin away tickets tryin to fill arina. you can fake those #s but the ppv sales will not lie. abrum is a crocked snake tryin to make this match out tobe somethin its not. its a dead match. arena will be empty. no one is buyin any tickets. at least floyd mosley have a real sell out and tickets a lot more then manny clottey so they actually will make close to the same door revenue as manny clottey even tho a lot less seats. no50 doller cheap seats on this one. and no stadium owner buyin up most of tickets to try to hype match. there a reason manny only makin 6 mill for this match and mosley makin 20 mill. hait him or love him floyd sells.
@wowzbean
who did Manny beat to be number one. Not Mayweather or Shane. So was Cotto number one or was it David Diaz or was it hatton
wowzabean
No one is mad you just be on this site riding nuts. We get it you are a Manny fan and you don’t like May. But Manny is get rapped by Arum and Top Rank trust. Manny is a good fighter and that is the only thing I care about what he does in the ring. Same for PBF. This will be Manny’s first test in a couple of years (since Marquez) and I would love to see how u reacts. His last 4 fights have been against hand picked fighters coming off loses. these are just facts. Well Clottey is coming off a lost two but everyone knows he won that fight.
Well, given that Mayweather and Mosley are top tier fighters . . I expect them to attract a sizeable audience. And hopefully, they get a good PPV . . Golden Boy is already boasting 3 million PPVs . . sounds like the cart is going ahead of the horse.
Pac against Clotty (not a well known fighter except for hard core afficionados) had almost 20,000 tickets sold (versus 16,000 above) on the first day . . which is amazing considering these fighters are non-americans and its really Pacquiao driving the ticket sales. (cavaet though is that tickets in Dallas are cheaper compared to Vegas).
Nonetheless, its off to Dallas . . and hopefully another alternative mecca to boxing!
Diesel,
BTW, you won’t find the #1 P4P after May 1st, you’ll just see who locks in the #2 seed. Sorry but a #2 can’t beat a #3 and be #1. It’s like if Orlando Magic beats the Celtics, they’re ranked above the Cavs, doesn’t make sense now does it.
lil giant,
I’m just stating facts “bro,” don’t have to get mad. It’s not my fault Floyd’s linked to more lawsuits than OJ Simpson.
Mayweather and Mosly sold out for 17,000 tickets.
Pacquiao and Clottey sold out for 45,000 tickets.
Lets do the math.
Who sold more tickets?
Now we only have to wait who could sell more on PPV.
Facts Mayweather and Mosly are both Americans fighting in American soil.
Pacquiao and Clottey are both outsider and fighting here in America.
I wonder if Pacquiao and Clottey is Americans, they probably sell all 80,000 sits in the Texas Stadium!
yeah billy… he’s as smart as you. you’re absolutely right about floyEd, he’s past tense.
@wowzabean
You talking like Manny is sharing some of that money with you. Damn get off Manny nuts. He doesn’t know you our care about you. You can die tomorrow and Manny wont care
We can’t blame Floyd for what he is.
Mayweather and Pacquiao don’t have the same upbringing.
Let’s just talk about these guys’ superb opposite skills on the ring.
And hope that they will battle it out in the ring.
If we want to change Floyd’s attitude then we must start from the people arround him.
Floyd is a good man with good boxing skills.
man it’s just so funny that people dont like floyed because of his mouth when i first heard him i didnt like him but win i saw him fight i said it’s no way u cant respect that man n the ring by far the smartest fighter i’v ever seen i really hope pac get over his fear of giving blood so floyed can out box the hell out of him lol. go floyed get that money and more money lol
Doesn’t the mgm usually sell out anywayz
Doesn’t the mgm usually sell out anywayz?
The point is at the end of the day Manny still makes more and Forbes ranked him higher for ’09.
JesusJones,
That’s what I think is ironic. Floyd fans like to say that Manny has to give money to Arum and GBP, plus he gives all lot of his money to his own entourage and the less fortunate in the Philippines. Conversely, Floyd has to give his money to taxes, legal filings and GBP still helped hold the even despite his bs MP Productions. Just set up some fake company so he wouldn’t have to give cuts to other promoters. Enron did the same sh!t. Manny gives to give, Floyd looses money for not being responsible.
Money May is definitely going to need a large sum of money for the defamation lawsuit with Manny Pacquiao. Now one of his entourage has been apprehended from the skating rink incident last August.

Err… I thought it went on sale last March 2?
Would anyone doubt it would be a sellout? If they can’t fill 17k seats then they have a big f*ckn problem don’t they?
Doesn’t the mgm usually sold sell out?
Is easy to order a ppv fight with just a click but to get up n see it live takes money n time to get there!!! N pac is gettin 45000 to see him live!!!! Incredible for boxin!! The mgm as almost always sold out so how is this news?
@ tyler: u got it bro!… LOL
the moment i saw the title of this item, i immediately knew that the one wrote this would be either davey boy lahr, williams, esteban or this fugate. well i was correct, it was one of the monkeys hatin on pacquiao.
This isn’t news, it’s 17,000 seats! I know that this is in response to the articles about Pac’s fight selling out, but that is 45,000 seats and it is the first fight ever in Cowboy Stadium!

DUH!!! of course this will be sold out just MAINLY because they both well-known american fighter fighting in america
Of coarse it is gonna sell out, it’s gonna be 2 elite welter-weights fighting it out. This is the mega fight i’m paying for. I’m sure this will sell out, and when FLOYD wins it will shut every FLOYD hater the F*CK UP. Cant wait to see the true P4P king in action onmay 1st.
My bad everyone, I made a mistake. I didn’t realize that StubHub lets fans sell their tickets to other fans and from my current understanding doesn’t directly sell tickets. Still, word is ticket sales are going good and expected to sell out, but not nearly as fast as I thought when I saw Stubhub’s numbers. I was wrong and I admit it. Sorry!!
good one xman (sarcasm)
they come to see mosley out handle and overrun the over rated money man.
Good 4 them.. I’m a PAC fan.. But this fight is so so so interesting… I’m gonna watch thizz fight 2..
ti ano da!
I thought they went on sale during the first press conference? However, there is no doubt it will be a sell out.
