MGM GRAND TO HOST CLOSED CIRCUIT VIEWING OF DE LA HOYA VS PACQUIAO

LAS VEGAS (October 1, 2008) - MGM Grand will host closed circuit viewing in conjunction with the upcoming "Dream Match" between the "Golden Boy" Oscar de la Hoya and Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. The championship card, scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 6 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, will be distributed by HBO-Pay-Per-View and the live telecast will begin at 6 p.m. PST.

Tickets for the closed circuit telecast priced at $100 for preferred seating and $60 for general admission, not including handling fees, are now on sale at the MGM Grand ticket office outlets at the Concierge desk and the KÀ Theatre box office. Tickets also will be available by visiting www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 702-474-4000. Ticket sales are limited to eight (8) per person. Additional MGM MIRAGE properties will host closed circuit viewing and tickets will go on sale at a later date.

Tickets for the fight sold out in one day and established a live gate of nearly $17 million. This was second only to the De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather fight held in May 2007 which featured a record-breaking $19 million gate.
