SOLD OUT?

While everyone involved in this “May Day” card is claiming a sell-out (or close to it), the reality is there are tickets to be had all over on the secondary market. As of late last week, there were whole rows of tickets available in certain sections on Ticketmaster, which have mysteriously disappeared in the past couple of days.

But if you look at this helpful site (http://www.tiqiq.com/tiqiq/singleeve...lisherid=51113) you’ll see that thousands of tickets are to be had - and at below face value.

The bottom line is that the pricing of this show from Mayweather Promotions seemed exorbitant (and based on public demand, that’s the case) and by basically scaling the whole lower bowl well over $500 and calling it “ringside,” well, this is what could happen. Robert Guerrero is a good fighter but unlike, say, a Miguel Cotto, he doesn’t really bring a strong fan-base of his own.

Also, not having the fight between Saul Alvarez and Austin Trout as the main support bout has hurt sales. The results in San Antonio, where nearly 40,000 patrons packed the Alamodome, bare that out. “Canelo” understood his value to this undercard and rolled the dice in San Antonio. It’s safe to say he made his point on April 20th and made it as it related to the card this weekend.

But yeah, if you need tickets, go to Vegas. They are there to be had - and at a discounted price.

and there's the other classic Pactard excuse for ducking a steroid test...

Whether its been demanded before or not is irrelevant, Floyd's demand subjects him to the same fukking testing...Floyd demanded strict drug testing for the biggest prize fight in the history of the sport to ensure we have a fair fight...This testing does not only benefit Floyd, it benefits both fighters unless of course one of them is not clean...

How the fukk can any sane logical human being be against this?
