Choice seats for Pacquiao-Mosley match are being sold at P.8-M

Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum swears not even his people at Top Rank have tickets to show off to prospective buyers interested in watching the May 7 (May 8 in Manila) show starring Manny Pacquiao versus Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
“We don’t have tickets in our hands right now,” said Arum over the weekend as he made an official announcement that “not one” ticket is available for purchase. Of course, there are still countless tickets available – in the black market.
Since these tickets have become a hot commodity, brokers have priced them beyond the reach of the ordinary wage-earner, leaving these prized passes only sellable to those willing to part ways with as much as $17,995 (P790,000) for a choice, front-row ringside seat that actually costs $1,000.
When Top Rank released the tickets for public sale in the end of January, a near sell out was immediately announced as only a few thousands were left.
Aside from the top-of-the-line $1,000 tickets, others were also sold at $750, $500, $300 and $150.
Arum said those who would be unable to secure tickets from the black market, can still soak up the incomparable Las Vegas fight night atmosphere by watching it on closedcircuit at $50 a pop in all the MGMMirage owned properties that are nicely located on the famed Strip.
The MGM Grand Garden Arena has a seating capacity of around 17,000 and Arum said ringside will be teeming with VIPs from the world of sports, entertainment and politics. Arum said a former US President has also expressed his desire to see the fight.
“The response is just unbelievable,” said Arum, who has been promoting boxing since 1966 starting with Muhammad Ali’s world heavyweight title bout with the iron-chinned Canadian George Chuvalo.

Well I am excited for this event. I think it will come down to 1 mistake on either boxers part, and the other ability to exploit it. Wow that is general isn't it, lol. Mosely can hit hard, if Pacquiao leaves his chin out there he can get clocked in it, but Pacquiao is such a legendary boxer, I can't call it either way, I am just glad that for the first time in years I will actually be able to get loud and scream at the television, seeing how I don't have to take calls at DISH network for the vent. Thank god for promotions. Pacquiao can set the pace and if he does Mosely can't keep up for longer then 9 rounds and goes down between 9 and 12. Why there is such little hype about this fight I will never know, I think it is going to be exciting enough to put 64.99 to get the ppv in high definition, because I have found boxing is a lot better on crystal clear HD pictures, you can see the sweat fly off their head when they get hit.
