If your still itching to see the Floyd Mayweather Jr. versus Saul “Canelo” Alvarez junior middleweight super-fight go down in person you’re in luck, there are 521 tickets still available at the time of this article on Stub Hub for a hefty price that is.
The ticket reselling website has tickets starting at $1,550 for upper level seats and as high as $35,000 for ringside seats in Row B.
The tickets that originally sold out in less than 24 hours, ranged from $350-$2,000 and are of course a hot commodity right now with this being billed the biggest event in boxing history by the promoters.
That is a 348% increase one the “cheap” tickets and a whopping 1675% increase on the ringside tickets from face value.
Sure, if you didn’t get a chance to grab some tickets in the less than one day period the tickets were officially on sale and have a little extra cash to spend, the money should be well worth it. With the main bout being Mayweather and Canelo being worth the price of admission alone, there is also the undercard bouts that feature unified junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia versus Lucas Matthysse and the junior middleweight IBF title fight between champion Ishe Smith and contender Carlos Molina as well as other bouts.
Sure any big fight in Vegas usually sells out and the tickets on the secondary market are far beyond that of the face value. With this being one of the biggest fights since 2007, it is no real surprise to see such an astronomical rise in the price of tickets.
One could forgo paying such a steep price and opt to watch “The One” at one of the MGM Grand’s sister casinos that will be holding closed-circuit parties of their own, but nothing compares to being able to feel the energy from the crowd live at the fight itself.
