Tickets of the fight of Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao have been sold out in just hours after the release. The so-called mega fight will be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on December 6. Despite the large capacity of the stadium that can hold 16,000 spectators, the tickets for the matches were sold out, except for a small number of seats, in just hours after its release on September 24, making it the second highest ticket sales of any boxing bout. Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer estimated that the total sales value of the tickets would total about 17 million US Dollars (578 million Baht) as the De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao match is one of the most anticipated boxing fights of the modern time. “This only reflects the overwhelming interest on this great fight. It will be one of the best fights in the boxing sport and one of the grandest matches you will ever see in the sport,” said Schaefer. Pacquiao, who is also called “Pacman”, has a record of 47 wins, 3 losses and 2 draws, while 35 of his wins are knockouts. He has decided to move up the weight class from lightweight to welterweight in order to fight De La Hoya, who has 39 wins, 30 of which are knockouts, and 5 losses. “When you have the greatest world boxers like Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya to fight each other, it is natural the people would show interest as nobody would want to miss this fight,” said Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum.
