\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 http://nypost.com/2015/04/06/mayweather-pacquiao-and-hypocritical-greed-at-sports-core/ Summary: Guy goes on vacation in Florida, and decides to go see a baseball spring training game. Once he gets there, he finds out that the cost of a ticket for a spring training game is $30. $30? For a spring training game? He decides to buy the ticket anyway and, since he arrived a little early, he decides to watch some batting practice. He goes into the stadium, and the security guards won't let him in. Why? Because a ticket to the game doesn't allow you to watch batting practice! "Oh, so you want to watch batting practice, too? That'll be an extra $25!"

aristocrat Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 But the mayweather fight is sold out and we will see what happens when the pay per view numbers hit. If they're selling it that's the market.

Dorkington Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I remember going to baseball games as a kid, and we could go in early and watch warmups with no problem. Did that change with the MLB, or is it dependent on venue?

I am buying with another dad, sons will be watching too...be about 12 people there all told...not a bad price i don't think.
Green Lightning Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I am buying with another dad, sons will be watching too...be about 12 people there all told...not a bad price i don't think. I'm try to scare up enough guys to split the cost too. I'm pulling for Manny in a big way.
KD in CA Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Phil Mushnick: Professional cranky old man who hates everyone and everything. Absolutely right. A waste of news print. No way! I love Mushnick, he gets under the skin of all the blowhards in NY sports media. It's like reading a column from stuckincincy.
CowgirlsFan Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Didn't happen to us in Surprise Arizona with my Texas Rangers.
GG Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 SuperBowl tickets were going for $10K. Ringside seats for this fight are going for $20k. What's the problem with $90 PPV if people are willing to pay for it? Invite 4 buddies and it's way cheaper than a night out.
