Overall, the Mayweather-Cotto tickets are a bit higher than the Pacquiao-Bradley tickets for June 9 at the same venue:
| Mayweather-Cotto | Pacquiao-Bradley |
|---|---|
| $1,500 | $1,200 |
| $1,250 | $900 |
| $600 | $600 |
| $300 | $400 |
| $200 | $200 |
I always wonder why they capitalize things like Seven-Time and Five-Division. Probably just me.

Maybe that that’s the way they taught it at the old school, kinda like how they taught the person to use a Three-Letter state abbreviation at the end of that same sentence?

Thanks for the info..
with both fights possibly being mismatches, whose selling more tickets? Floyd, or Canelo with his Mexican fanbase??…smart move to have Canelo on the undercard for a Cinco de Mayo fight

yeah how many of those 200 tickets are actually available lol..i for one would prefer paying 250 to get a real close seat for gamboa rios than 200 to sit in the nose bleeds for either ppv fight

Anyone have a seating chart for what 200/300 dollars gets you? Or any idea of how bad those seats actually are?

200 isn’t great, but you’re in. you can see what’s going on, but you’re not gonna be able to give a nuanced breakdown. basically, you end up with Jim Lampley’s perspective on fights; i.e., you see what you want to see and get there by sloppily extrapolating cues from activity and body language. 300 is just the best several rows (or maybe the first half?) of the 200 section.

Ah, so not really worth it. Thanks for the info – I wish I could see Mayweather fight live before he calls it quits, but in reality it’s just not worth the 1000 dollars in expenses.

some may disagree, and/or have better eyesight, so maybe better to try to find other opinions. and the really neat part is that the place is electric (both outside and inside the arena) leading up to a big fight, so it’s fun to be around. i guess what i’m saying is that pre and post fight is also part of the experience/equation, fwiw.
Sentimental - February 22, 2012
Yeah, I’m sure I’d have fun, but I’m planning other trips right now… Just not in my budget for what it’s worth.
