The world can now breathe and say the fight is officially on.
Tickets for the highly anticipated world championship showdown between Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao are out.
The big bout, expected to be the largest-grossing fight in history, takes place Saturday, May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and will start being available today for both in-arena and closed circuit viewing.
Tickets for the live event priced at $7,500, $5,000, $3,500, $2,500 and $1,500, not including applicable service charges.
Tickets are limited to four (4) per household.
The closed circuit telecast will be available at all MGM Resorts International properties in Las Vegas.
There will be between 35,000 and 50,000 closed circuit seats available in Las Vegas, with the figure closer to the higher end. However, the sale of tickets to the live event will be extremely small and likely only to be around 500.
How it happened
The president and CEO of CBS Corporation, whose involvement was credited with helping Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao reach a deal to fight each other, saved the day a second time.
A dispute between Top Rank, Mayweather Promotions and the MGM Grand was putting the fight at risk. But a late morning conference call resolved all outstanding issues, Top Rank chairman Bob Arum told Yahoo Sports on Wednesday.
There had been disputes over allocation of tickets, credentials and hotel rooms, among other things, and despite the fact that the fighters had signed to face each other in February, there hadn't been a contract between the promoters and the MGM.
Arum said he and Top Rank president Todd duBoef met with Moonves and Mayweather adviser Al Haymon and that nothing now stands in the way of the fight going forward.
"We resolved all of the issues and now we're waiting for the paperwork," Arum said. "I said on the call that if what we agreed upon is in the paperwork we receive, we will sign it and the tickets will be released."
All parties signed the contract and just before midnight ET, a release went out announcing ticket sales information.
