...meet in the ring, Pacquiao and Mayweather will compete at the box office. Pacquiao's last several fights have been at Las Vegas' MGM Grand, a 17,000-seat venue, against marquee opponents. His bout against Clottey will be held at Texas Stadium (45,000 seats for the event, and ticket sales have been brisk).

Since the news dropped, it’s been a bewildering experience for fans—buying tickets for shows over a year away, internalizing the band’s amusing nonchalance toward the whole event in countless interviews, and, just last week, watching shaky handheld videos of the first reunion shows half a world away in New Zealand and Australia. Some signs of old age emerged—guitarist Scott Kannberg revealed on his blog that at their first show back, frontman Stephen Malkmus played...
