Still no tickets available for the May 2 megafight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, but between 600 and 700 tickets are expected to go on sale to the general public next week. Prices start at $1,500 per ticket.
The retail price for the Mayweather-Pacquiao PPV telecast has been set at $89.95 with high definition available at $99.95.
Meanwhile one of Floyd Mayweather’s sparring partners, Don Moore, stated in a recent interview that he’s impressed with Mayweather Jr.’s power and explosiveness during their training sessions.
“Floyd, he’s explosive man, he’s strong as hell,” Moore said. “I’m trying to wrap him up, learn from him, ducking and dodging and running off combinations man and he see everything. It’s like man, master of boxing.”
Like Mayweather Jr., Moore is from the United States and is also undefeated in his pro boxing career. At 5-foot-10, Moore has a record of 17 wins with no losses and a draw and eleven of his victories came by way of knockout. Other sparring partners who have been confirmed to be part of the Mayweather training camp in Las Vegas are former champion Zab Judah and DeMarcus Corley— who are both southpaws like Pacquiao, who’s holding his own training camp in Los Angeles.
While there were rumours that Judah knocked down Mayweather Jr. in their sparring, the former has denied those allegations point-blank. Meanwhile, Corley echoed Moore’s sentiments admiring Mayweather Jr.’s current form and even predicted that the undefeated American will win “at least eight rounds” against Pacquiao.
