Thanks for posting. I am still wondering how you get 6,631 paid and get a 3 million gate, which means the average ticket price sold was $453/ticket. That’s nuts.

The questions I would have are:
- how many of those tickets were sold when Brock was on the card.
- were the prices for 106 any different than other fights in Vegas. In other words, were the prices jacked up because they were planning on selling it as a Brock fight.
