Manny vs Margarito Ticket Prices at Cowboy Stadium

Quote :

From the deck of a cruise ship docked in the South of France, Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum said that a ringside ticket to the Nov. 13 world super-welterweight title fight between Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito will be retailed at a reasonable $700 a pop. Arum told Manila Bulletin and Fightnews that other tickets will be sold at $500, $300, $200, $100 and $50 for the fight to be held at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. These were the same prices when Pacquiao fought the last time in March against Joshua Clottey when he drew almost 51,000 spectators. Arum believes this fight will lure more than 70,000 fans since Margarito has a fan-base in Texas being Mexican and that the event will take place right smack in the (National Football League) season. “This is going to be a lot bigger than the March fight,” said Arum, who is in the final phase of his two-week European vacation. Arum will be back in the US in time for a three-city press tour that kicks off in Los Angeles on Tuesday. From Hollywood, the traveling circus’ succeeding stops would be New York and Dallas, where Texas billionaire Jerry Jones is rolling out the red carpet.

Damn, great prices if you are in the area

Pretty strong card rumored so far

Guillermo Rigondeaux vs TBA (Concepcion?)
Mike Jones vs Soto Karass
Pavlik vs TBA (Manfredo?)
Pacquiao vs Margarito

I am there. When are they going on sale?

Why isn't Floyd fighting this guy? What the fuck is wrong with you boxing?

Probably the same reason Fedor never fought Brock.

Waste of money IMO.

Yeah what is wrong with you MMA?

Difference here is that Fedor and Brock both have/had legitimate contenders with legitimate interest from fans in their own situations. The sport has done three or four cards around a million buys since that fight fell through for the last time.


What does boxing have?


Boxing needs this bout to happen. The conversation will never move on to other fighters if this match is still what everyone wants to see.

If you live in Texas, Id rather cough up the $50 for the tickets than the PPV

lol

The sport was better off when Floyd retired, the fights people wanted to see happened

Now with Floyd back, all you hear is fighters bitching about $$$$ when they're not worth it

Remember "The World Awaits" Floyd vs DLH, didnt do shit but piss fans

Great point. Floyd is horrible for the sport.

well it did 2.4 million buys and had boxing relevant

When you dont FIGHT, he is

If he was fighting every even six months and facing the guys he should be facing he'd be a great thing for boxing. As is he makes the entire sport look bad. He is the face of boxing.

I hate Floyd but he did fight twice this year. Thats every six months for you non-math people. Oh and by the way sorry he could not fight as often as BJ Penn (the greatest lightweight ever) who now has a great record of 15-7-1. LOL
