I really feel whoever loses this fight retires. Pac simply because he's mostly done (you don't see the same guy that destroyed De La Hoya in the ring anymore) and Mayweather because he has nothing left to prove. He made his millions and can get out having lost to one of the best fighters of the past 20+ years while beating nearly everyone else.
How much would the tickets have been worth 5 years ago when these guys were still relevant?
Pac wins, rematch, mayweather avenges his loss, both retire stinkin rich.
I'd argue that it's worth more now with all of the anticipation and hype.
I don't know. A few years back I would have bought the PPV immediately, but now I kind of don't care.

In 2009, I'd have bought it in a heart beat at my house, invited no one, and glued myself to the TV. In 2011, I'd still have bought it, but I might not have been as intense about watching it. Today, I am not buying it, but I'll watch it since the GF's parents are buying it. They don't even like boxing; they are just Filipino and Manny is almost to the level Pele is to Brazil.
I think it was $99. Might not be set yet, but that's the expectation for the HD feed.
That's what I heard over here, in the UK it's £20 for HD p.p.v. for the fight.
That's unbelievable, I thought we got ripped off here.

You can argue it, but you'd be wrong.
