About a minute after tickets to next week's Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao fight went on sale Thursday, they were sold out.
Tickets to the May 2 fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena went on sale at noon on Ticketmaster, after a week of back-and-forth between the two fighters' camps. The cheapest tickets that were being sold went for about $1,500, not including service fees. Within about 60 seconds, using the “best available” search method to find tickets on the website returned a message that said, “Sorry no tickets from the venue currently."
However, FOX5 found ring-side tickets were still available on some secondary websites, including StubHub.com. The website listed floor seats in section E for $141,575.25 each. The cheapest seats the site had listed were in the D section of the floor at $43,880.25 each.

Ringside at $141,000. Surely some Hollywood stars will complain.
or give their seats to the poor/ you see it all the time /s
Absolutely. Often Jack Nicholson will bring in a bus load of street people. /sarc
PT Barnum was right.
It is my understanding that very few seats in an event like this are offered for public sale. The fighters, the producers, the venue, HBO and so forth all get first bite a purchasing most of the tickets at “face value.”
Citizens, shut up and pay your cable bill. Be thankful you have TV. It is all you get.
I looks original to me. It’ll probably be honored.
Can an EBT card be used?
no celeb tickets for this one, according to MGM Gand. they are saving the ducats for the whales only...
Harry Reid will be first row but unable to ‘see’ the fight. LOL!
I think he’s on the under ticket against his brother in a rematch.
Harry looks outta sight in his new glasses!
Your “q” looks like an “a”, so I don’t think they’ll let you in. LOL.
I wonder why Pacquiao agreed to fight in Vegas... He usually avoids the USA because of the taxes and prefers to hold fights in Macao.
I am lucky to have Filipinos next door as well as in the.family.
I will never pay 99 bucks for any pay per view
Except maybe Obammy or the Clinton’s trials for Hugh crimes and such. ;-)
And it better be tax deductible.
They split 300 million, so that’s 150 million after taxes. Seventy five million per fighter is a good night’s work anyplace. I doubt there’s a fight he can bring to Macao that will bring him 75 million.
