G did this for Mayweather-De La Hoya? Is it common to only allow 2 tickets to be purchased by one person?

The only thing I like about it is that it kind of takes scalpers out of the loop. They can still get theirs, but would have to put in more of an effort than just buying en masse.
So if me and 2 friends are planning on going, do we have to sit separate? Or I guess we have to wait until 3 tickets are available at stubhub or whatever and pay more.
Like I said, that aspect is the ONLY thing I like about it. If it were a 3-ticket limit, a group of 4 would bitch about it. And so on. Anyway, why are we surprised? Or do people out there really believe that G gives a shit about what boxing fans want?
after seeing what they did at the last presser for Cotto Mosley they are now reffered to by me as the Golden Mafia. Their PR is ass not a single fan was let in. They should just be called Media Liasons instead of Public Relations
I'm sorry you had to hear it this way, TWIN, but it's true. GPH/GM is not out to revolutionize the sport.
