Regarding tickets, White said in the presser around the press conferences that rules changed for tickets from most big events in the UFC and boxing.
Even he has to buy his own. No longer are large blocks given to the UFC or Mayweather or sponsors or whatever, presumably a) to prevent free tickets being given to sponsors, so that the fighters get the true gate reciept. Also keeps brokers from snatching some of those comp tickets up from their sources and then profiting instead of the fighters.
Same reason Ticketmaster goes through verification and limits purchase to two.
So, tough to accurately gauge this vs other big fighting events where large blocks of comp tickets are instantly alloted to various parties after ticket release.
