Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 sell 13,000 tickets

The Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez Fourth encounter is projected to out-gross the first three fights. On opening day of the Pacquiao vs Marquez tickets sale, over 13,000 tickets to the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino event were sold and that only less than 3,000 were left. To put a closure as to who really won the last two bouts, El Dinamita has vowed to knock out the 8-division world champion whom he has never beaten. 

Pacquiao vs Marquez Tickets went on sale over the weekend and Top Rank big boss Bob Arum was ecstatic when 13,000 of the 16,800 were devoured on opening day and the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas will be filled to capacity by fight night. A choice seat on Row A sold at $1,200 is being peddled at $9,345, while the lowest-priced seat – pegged at a mere $200 – is being sold at $400. 

Other tickets are priced at $900, $600 and $400 and their prices on the internet have more than doubled or tripled owing to the high demand in anticipation of a classic match between the old-time archrivals. Pacquiao and Marquez have battled each other three times stretching back to their split draw in 2004 and while Pacquiao won the next two bouts in the thinnest of margins, many believe that Marquez should have been awarded the decision. 

Mike Koncz, the Canadian adviser of Pacquiao and who joined the two fighters during the whirlwind three-city press tour last month, believes “there won’t be need for a fifth fight.” “This will be the final chapter,” said Koncz, who saw the eagerness of the two fighters to put an end to their storied rivalry.
