1400046 2015-05-05 22:53:00 they could have charged $much more than $99 to watch it live. charging much less for a $delayed by 15minutes$ version for $10 and streaming it for free an hour thereafter. would have still made a killing ifnotmoreso. piracy rates would have been close to zero too.

1400047 2015-05-06 01:06:00 I'm not a boxing fan, but....Parker any day.

Parker is a heavyweight, Mayweather and Pacquiao are welterweights and considerably lighter, at 67kg against about 105kg plus. Remember too that both have won titles at other weight limits, so I wouldn't be too sure that Parker would necessarily win, especially in 5 seconds.

1400048 2015-05-06 03:16:00 Tickets to the 16,800-seat Garden Arena at the MGM Grand didn't come cheap, costing thousands. Re-sale site StubHub was selling tickets for as much as US$350,000 (NZ$463,000).

Ringside seats were hard to come by with the MGM Grand understood to only have made them available to people who had a US$250,000 line of credit at the Las Vegas casino. It was an A-lister affair.

According to the Stuff article today. Also, Pacman got beat, beat up and now faces surgery and a lawsuit.

Probably only boring to you, Greg, but not boring to all the TV networks with a vested interest in the fight :)

1400051 2015-05-07 01:33:00 Probably only boring to you, Greg, but not boring to all the TV networks with a vested interest in the fight :)Ya for sure, but it's only flippin boxing using girly cushioned gloves. Now if it was a world title karate match, then that'd do me just fine for the money. Greg (193)

1400054 2015-05-07 02:54:00 Parker is a heavyweight, Mayweather and Pacquiao are welterweights

I know.
More fun watching the BIG muscles IMO. No idea what husbands thoughts on the matter are.
