I’d go out on a limb and say that Bob Arum is the happiest guy in boxing to hear that Mayweather had signed the contract to fight Pacquiao.
Arum is all about his money and he knew that outside of the Mayweather fight he didn’t have many big money options for Manny. Want to know how much Arum has capitalised off of this fight?
Here’s his statement regarding the large number of ticket request and the pricing for the event on May 2nd:
All jokes aside the demand for these tickets are insane. If you aren’t prepared to spend 5 figures on a seat then it may not be for you. PPV parties are the way to go, but if you are lucky enough to be in the building it promises to be a once in a life time experience.
