Ticket for Pacquiao vs Clottey Fight Sold Out!
It’s about one month and 2 two weeks to go before the much anticipated Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight but the tickets are selling like hotcakes! In the report of ESPN.com, more than 20,000 tickets were sold in the first three hours of sales on Saturday.
This may be due to reduced price of the fight ticket. Because of the size of the venue, tickets prices were lowered to more than half of the usual ticket price of Pacquiao fights.
The Dallas Cowboys Stadium can normally hold more than 100,000 audiences for a football game but for the Pacquiao vs. Clottey match it was decided to close the outer sections of the stadium and limit the crowd to around 40,000. Still, it is twice bigger than the usual venue of Pacquiao fights in Las Vegas, whether it’s the MGM Grand or the Mandalay Bay. But if the demand continues, then the stadium’s capacity can be increased. Pacquiao fights over the last two to three years were always sold out.
The ringside ticket price was reduced $700, almost half of the usual of $1,500. The cheapest tickets for this WBO welterweight match are only worth $50, just the equivalent of dinner and good bottle of wine in a nice restaurant. In previous Pacquiao fights, $50 can’t even get you past the entrance of the fight venue.
“Ross Greenburg (president of HBO Sports) and I are very gratified that the public has responded like they have, and we are happy for our partner (Cowboys owner) Jerry Jones,” Top Rank chief Bob Arum told Dan Rafael in New York Saturday.
