          Before the mian event even starts the crowd will be bored to death by some no names boxing 12 rounds better off going to a viewing party youll have way more fun then actually being there.

              Not even close.

              I was lucky enough to get killer seats to Pacquiao v Cotto several years back. And it was beyond awesome. One of the top live events I've ever attended. Atmosphere was completely electric.

              And again....this was against fukkin Cotto. Cannot imagine the energy that this fight will produce.

                I couldn't imagine being caught on TV there, just embarrassing. Everyone person there is a sucker. The only possible way tickets could be worth that is they were secretly filming a sequel to the amazing 1998 thriller Snake Eyes.

                    Told you had no desire to see it live, also pretty sure this is first of two fights for them. MGM would love this in new arena when done next year

                      i'm just reading these auctions and shaking my head. tickets will only be available at will call a couple days prior to the fight. so you've got a very small window to then meet your buyer for the exchange.

                      and an exchange of this size is incredibly difficult. banks need a heads-up when you want to withdraw a sizable amount in cash. and wiring funds of this size can also be a headache.

                      i think the secondary market will collapse simply due to the logistical nightmare of these transactions.

                        Trust me the people willing to pay those prices for the tickets will be prepared with cash and meeting will not be a problem

                            are you brokering this event by chance? in what sections do you have tickets? any pairs or just singles?

                              So if you were given free tickets you wouldn't go?

                                      the most expensive tickets on stubhub yesterday were $160K per ticket for 3rd row.

                                      today the same seats are down to $128K each.

                                      supply has also increased over the last 24 hrs.

                                                the secondary market is tanking on these tickets.

                                                prices continue dropping significantly while supplies keep increasing.. there's now over 900 tickets available, so supply has tripled in 2 days.

                                                of course, there's still a ton of margin to be made at current asking prices, but there's simply no demand. and i don't think you can really expect there to be until prices come down to no more than 1.5x face value.

                                                only tickets that have really sold thus far are the cheapest of the cheap, but those have all been corner upper level junk. sales are simply not happening in the lower levels or on the floor.

                                                      these tickets are absolutely dead! prices have plummeted and supply is still sky high.

                                                      anyone who shows up to the arena after the undercard has started will have a slew of tickets to choose from for much less than face value.
