After releasing the official statement, boxing fans all over the world cannot wait to see the mega fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. This once in a lifetime sports event is a hard to miss and should be missed. There are tons of boxing aficionados around the globe who are planning to travel to Las Vegas, not caring about the chances of seeing the fight inside the MGM Grand.
As reported by Daily Mail resident sports writer, although he was not and will never be part of the promotion, he had received hundreds of calls from people asking for tickets. He also said that he had heard some very interesting rumors about ringside tickets traded for as much as £100,000 as well as gossips that no tickets will go on general release to the public.
If that is the case, then it will be a sad day for regular boxing fans, like majority of the world. The greatest contact sports in the world should stay available and accessible for everyone, he said. It is very obvious that this is not your ordinary fight, not only that will right history and it is also unimaginable on how it will make money, regardless of the source, either by gate sales, pay-per view revenue, bets, etc. regardless, it will still shatter all boxing records.
The resident writer also predicted that Floyd will win via UD, like majority of the predictions either inside the boxing community or outside, but very close. He also noted Pacquiao's speed will put a tremendous pressure on Mayweather's defense and in any case will change the outcome of his predictions. With Pacquiao's speed and strength, he noted that it might even lead Floyd to put more punches which is very uncommon for the counter puncher undefeated fighter. But, regardless, he said, he still sees Mayweather edging Pacquiao on points.
In relation to ticket sales, ESPN reported that re-sale sites are already listing tickets for the mega-fight from roughly $4,000 up to $22,000 which includes a ring side tickets and a hotel room.
