Boxing fans with deep pockets can still get tickets for the sold-out fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao — for up to $140,000 online.
The law of supply-and-demand is in full effect for the May 2 fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, as only 1,000 tickets were made available to the public. Fighters, sponsors and promoters will fill 15,000 other seats.
“With the massive interest in this fight, the number of fans looking to attend the official weigh-in is going to be something we’ve never seen before,” Mayweather promoter Leonard Ellerbe said Friday, BBC reported.
The news outlet said that while many tickets are appearing on websites within a range from $1,500 to $7,500, others are selling for as high as $141,000.
