So you want to go to the Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao mega-fight on May 2, and if you’re not one of the luck 500 fans who actually get to purchase the small amount of public tickets made available, then there is an auction just for you.

Former heavyweight champion and Mike Tyson snack, Evander Holyfield, is part of an Ebay auction that will net the winner a VIP experience with the “Real Deal” come fight night next week.

All the money raised will go to CharityVision, a charity who’s mission is to restore eyesight to people living in developing countries by partnering with local doctors.

At the time of this article there has been 53 bids, with the current high bidder holding on to the prize with a price of $23,600.

The winning bidder will receive: One ticket to the Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight on May 2, seating next to five time heavyweight champion, Holyfield, Delta Air Lines first class round-trip airfare from any U.S. city that Delta services, a deluxe room accommodations for May 2 (one night) at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, dinner with Holyfield at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino’s Tom Colicchio Craftsteak Restaurant before the fight, and one year supply of products from Quest Nutrition.

Considering the extreme pricing for all the prizes involved in this giveaway, it might be worth it for those who have that kind of money floating around, as the fight could cost near the VIP experience.

With a decent ticket, we’ll guess a $7,500 one, a $1,500 hotel room at the MGM. flight which should be around $1,000 and the chance to sit next to a living legend in the sport, the hefty price might be worth it.

So if you’re not one of the lucky ones who actually get through to order some of the small amount of tickets released, a chancre to hang with Holyfield should make up for this shift.
