Mayweather-Pacquiao: MGM Shuts Out The Competition
If you're gonna be in Vegas for the big fight ... and you're not at an MGM property ... you will be out of luck -- because MGM honchos are blocking competitors from showing Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Here's what we know ... MGM has an exclusivity deal which blocks rival hotels on the Vegas Strip from showing the fight -- and that includes in-room, in bars, in the casino ... anywhere.
Of course, the fight is happening at the MGM Grand on May 2nd -- and clearly, the company is looking to completely corner the local market.
We contacted several non-MGM properties which confirmed the blockage -- and a rep for a major rival hotel told us - "We aren't able to air the fight, that's true. And our guests won't be able to have it in-room either. It's a contract the MGM has. Unfortunately, it blacks out non-MGM properties."
Vegas is expecting hundreds of thousands of people to come in to town for the fight -- and now it seems they'll all have to fight for space at one of the MGM's 14 Vegas properties. Good luck.

That's the typical MGM policy for all of their fights. They aren't going to show the fight anywhere on the premises. Maybe some special club room for gambling club members. It looks like you might have to go up to Fremont street or somewhere off the strip. We need to confirm locations for the people traveling out there

That was a bad idea by making fun of Floyd on the mitts. I remember Hatton and his team doing the same exact thing, and we see what happened with that. They just lost their advantage.
Honestly it seems like just watching this shyt from your home, a house party, etc is better than actually being in the house or vicinity. Nowhere or way to get tickets and now you have to go to a MGM property to watch this? That is some bullshyt
The biggest let down of a huge event..pathetic.

Man, yall should have known by the corporate press conference, still sucks though.
Granted if you're satisfied to be there in vegas just for the ambience (parties, clubs, ppl, whatever) or what not thats cool..but this would be a waste of money and time for a boxing fan to be there live
if there is a rematch then ill be more than ever wanting them to do this outside of vegas...fukk floyd's vegas deal...take that shyt to jerry world..anywhere else
