Most Expensive Ticket For Mayweather-Berto Fight Is $1,500

Amounts from a boxing website confirmed earlier reports based on secondary ticket prices that there is not much interest in the Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto fight on September 12 at MGM Grand.

BoxingScene.com reports that the most expensive ticket is only $1,500, while there are five lower ticket prices at $1,000, $750, $500, $300 and $150. It is a big contrast with Mayweather's bout against Filipino champ Manny Pacquiao on May 2 when tickets sold from $4,500 to $12,000, according to Bloomberg.

Only four $150 tickets would be sold for one household, but for the rest of the tickets, the maximum is eight tickets per household. Pay-per-view buys are also expected to go down, especially with speculations that CBS, the mother company of Showtime where Mayweather has a six-fight contract, would show the bout of free TV, according to Christian Post.

BoxingNews24 reports that tickets could also be purchased online at www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices. Almost 470 movie theaters in the U.S. that are part of Fathom's Digital Broadcast Network will broadcast the fight which is Mayweather's last professional fight.

To gain more viewers, Showtime pitted Mexican boxers against Puerto Rican fighters for the undercards.

Jhonny Gonzales, who has a record of 58-9, fights Jonathan Oquendo in the junior lightweight class. Rocky Martinez, with a 29-2-2 record, defends the WBO junior welterweight belt against Orlando Salido. For the super middleweight class, WBC champ Badou Jack places the title at stake in a bout versus George Groves.

The cheap tickets contrasts with Mayweather's uber expensive new car priced at $4.8 million. There is no word yet on the guaranteed purses for September 12, which would surely be no match to the guaranteed purses on May 2 that broke records and made Mayweather and Pacquiao Fortune's highest-paid and second-highest paid celebrities the last 12 months.
