FUNNY ?MAY-PAC? TICKETS AND SICK BOXING

What?s news about it?
500 tickets for ?Mayweather-Pacquiao? were reportedly sold out in minutes ten days before the actual event. Why not? What?s new? What?s special? Try to announce and sell 500 lotto tickets to the world and see if it?s not gone in half a second. A Pacquiao fight used to sell 12,000 tickets within a week and two months ahead of the bout. Awake. We are being made fools out of a situation promoters manipulated into existence.
There goes the bait.
Las Vegas Review-Journal reports (4/23/15), ?No doubt, thousands of boxing fans were left disappointed and are angry at the promoters, the MGM and Ticketmaster? Some fans claimed on various social media platforms there were NO TICKETS ever made available to the public. Within minutes, secondary ticket markets were posting seats for sale.? Oh, at mind-bugling prices. CNN describes ?May-Pac? tickets as having been priced ?for financial heavyweights.?
Correct the numbers or alter your eyes.
Regret ahead.
The fight that is expected to bring about healing to a sick sport is now the very microbe that could cause its demise. With the abuses and magic already perpetrated and being put in place, the Mega Bout is a DISGRACE to human race. Don?t even be surprised if it will be a no fight in the ?fight? throughout twelve dull rounds. The event is completely becoming a circus, not a contest or fight sport - in the name of almighty dollars.
If air is not for breathing, what water is not for?
The menu is halfway half-cooked and the mafia?s role is to broil or invent ?scenarios? to justify the first ?rematch.? The referee and judges have just been named and tasked with a ?mission.? Obviously, the choices indicate that producers are up to something, all for business purposes. While fans are concerned about the fight, the promoters? only concern is money ? the big revenue they can possibly generate from this year?s ?May-Pac? and from multiple artificial rematches they can stew from 2016 to 3015.
Kenny Bayless as referee for the bout is hilarious. It is telling us that an exotic recipe is indeed cooking up. Watch closely that third man in the ring. Read Dela Hoya?s lips - http://philboxing.com/news/story-106916.html. Probably everyone in both camps knows what?s going on ?inside? except Pacman. Though Pacman will make an admirable move by making true his word of ?skipping the hoopla? of ?grand arrival? on Tuesday.
In the wake of unfolding drama, some fans are hooked.
Beyond the flurries of the MGM Las Vegas sham on May 2, this thing called ?richest bout? is a TEST OF CHARACTER for fans, people and media. How one reacts or ?appreciates? the brouhaha surrounding GREED that is deeply ingrained in its production, regardless of a dream matchup coming into fruition, reflects the person?s HEART and his thirst or distaste for the good life.
?Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled? ? Matthew 5:6. Worldliness is why the world is filled with emptiness.
Could there be a self-defeating bout worse than ?Mayweather-Pacquiao?? On account of cobras, vultures and brats in boxing, what better way to define avarice, brazenness and ?impunity? than May-Pac?
Know where the great deluge will bring you. Remember, this ?fight? is touted as the ?richest? in sport?s history and the goal is to maximize money (purely) out of the matchup or cash cows - for that?s everything there is to it, and that?s what they made it to be. The debacle isn?t over.
Weigh the pros and cons. In the face of a gluttonous ?sport? that salivates before our face, everything that is being said and written about ?Mayweather-Pacquiao? seems for naught.
Wherefore, to people who can afford: Watch the fight but save your money for loved ones, food or charity. Love the sport or love yourself and think of the majority who were deprived to watch the fight live. With the big cash you?re willing to shell out for a live ?Mayweather-Pacquiao? at the MGM or via PPV, go feed the hungry. Or go feed sharks.
But for what sane reason some souls can be ?charitable? enough to be willing pigeons or victims? You can?t stand floating.
Do them a solid: Watch the sham, but buy it not.
Be the solution.
