By Chris Williams: I can’t believe it. According to reports, there were 16,000 tickets sold for the May 7th Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley fight at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Apparently, all these tickets got purchased on a three hour period today from 10 AM to 1 PM, and it’s one of the hugest runs on tickets in Vegas ever. People actually want to see this mismatch.
I’m stunned. All those people are purchasing these tickets for a fight where Pacquiao is facing a guy that’s practically 40-years-old. Mosley looks absolutely shot and I can’t see the appeal in this fight unless you’re a glutton for punishment and don’t mind throwing your money away on watching some old guy get beaten senseless.
I don’t mind seeing some of Pacquiao’s fights, as long as he’s being matched competitively and the tickets are complimentary. But I don’t want to see a mismatch. What is up with these people? I hope they don’t take a quick bathroom break during the action because by the time they get back, Mosley is going to look like a survivor from a car wreck. He’s going to take a bad beating in this fight.
I just hope the referee does the right thing and stops the slaughter before Pacquiao really gets started. The last fight with Pacquiao beating up on Antonio Margarito was painful to watch. The guy had no chance walking in the door and he basically served a punching bag for 12 rounds. But god, look at all these Pacquiao fans purchasing tickets. What is up with that? It can’t be Mosley fans because I wasn’t aware that he many. He’s never been a pay per view attraction, so these have got to be Pacquiao fans 100%.
