According to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, "Lethal Combination " Pacquiao vs David Diaz on June 28 2008 at Mandalay Bay drew 9,630 paid fans to the Mandalay Bay Event Center for gross ticket revenue of $3,350,730. 844 tickets were given away with a total value of $603,800. Bob Arum said that the attendance would have been much higher if gas prices werent so high. The previous Pacquiao fight vs Juan Marquez drew more audience to the gate. There would have been more people from California and other places driving to the event if gas at the pump werent so high.
Pacquiao’s next bout is slated on Nov. 15 at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. Who will he be fighting is yet to be determined?
Manny Pacquiao is the present double WBC world champion at lightweight and super featherweight holder. Manny Pacquiao must announce by July 28 which title he has decided to keep. If he decides to give up the lightweight division title and keep the super featherweight title, Soto must fight Pacquiao for the WBC super featherweight world title.
