A couple of hours ago I was sent this email
from Keith Kizer, the executive director of the NSAC, regarding
Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez III at the MGM Grand.
Live Gate - $11,648,300 (#9 all-time in NV)
Tickets sold – 15,498 (most for a NV boxing event since 5/5/07, and second-most since 9/18/04)
Comps – 861
Certainly
strong numbers, and if the pay-per-view numbers are what Bob Arum is
hinting at ( yeah, I know, I know), I have a sneaking suspicion that
we’ll see this fight again in the spring of 2012 and the thing holding
up the fight between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, this time around, will now
center on purse splits and the like.
