With Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight tickets predicted to cost as high as the price of a month's bill on rent, water, phone, and more.
However, one way fans can see this mega fight without shelling out money is through promos that MGM or sponsors will offer.
That is if you don't have the fortune to secure a seat. Rumor has it that there will be free tickets for this fight that took more than half a decade to be completed. However, tickets are reportedly limited and will only be given to the "chosen ones."
However, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum clarified the "free tickets" rumors by revealing there is another way you can assure yourself of a ringside ticket, but he reiterated that you still have to pay for it. That is if you are affiliated to the MGM Grand Arena where the Floyd Mayweather Jr - Manny Pacquiao fight will be held, you are a celebrity, or you are a friend of either of the two boxers.
"You understand that the biggest block of tickets is with the MGM, so when I get a call from a celebrity, or I assume when Mayweather gets a call from a celebrity, we immediately send them to the MGM, and tell them, 'You guys fill the order,' because I mean, nobody but nobody is going to get these tickets without paying for them," Arum said in an interview with a Las Vegas ESPN radio station.
The businessman added that "only high rollers with a line of credit of $250,000 with the MGM Grand will merit consideration for comped ringside tickets."
