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

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In what could become one of the fastest-moving on-sales in the history of boxing, the Floyd Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton welterweight championship fight is expected to sell out quickly after tickets are available for fans worldwide on Monday (Sept. 17) at 10AM. The fight, promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions, is scheduled for Saturday, December 8 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and will be produced and distributed live on HBO Pay-Per-View. Tickets for "UNDEFEATED" are priced at $1,000, $750, $600, $300 and $150 and will be available for purchase by visiting www.ticketmaster.com or to charge by phone with a major credit card call (702) 474-4000. Ticket sales will be limited to two (2) per person.[/FONT]

    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 GBP 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.
