Prices for Floyd Mayweather tickets have been confirmed in pesos, translating to thousands of dollars for ringside viewing.
Mayweather vs Gotti III 2 seats went on pre-sale to disbelief at the pricing point for a rematch with John Gotti III on August 24 in Mexico. The announcement of $128,076 for a top-priced seat was soon cooled when organizers stated the asking price was not dollars. Converted into pesos, the $128,076 comes in at just over USD 7,000.
Tickets for the event, according to Mexico’s official seller ‘Super Tickets.’ range from a starting point of $2,624 to $11,566 for regular arena seats. This pricepoint means a far more manageable 145 to USD 635 to the average fan.
The boxing legend, who won world titles in five different weight classes, returns to action at 47. However, the last fight with Gotti failed to set the world alight apart from an arena brawl, and fans who wish to attend will have to fork out considering earnings.
Super Tickets hyped up the fight via social media by saying,” On August 24 at Arena CDMX, we will witness a historic showdown!
“Floyd Mayweather Jr., the undefeated ringmaster, arrives in Mexico to face John Gotti III, a fierce competitor with a wrestling legacy. This event will be a battle of honor and a rematch and boxing’s ultimate celebration with five additional bouts, including world championship bouts.
“Save the date. The exclusive BBVA pre-sale will be June 25-30 at www.superboletos.com. General Sale: Starting July 1. Don’t miss this historic event!”
However, even the staunchest supporters of Mayweather would undoubtedly be hard-pressed to justify that demand for the top seats. The ‘Money” man will be under pressure to load up the undercard to get anywhere near a sellout for the event. Victor Ortiz, a former opponent of Mayweather, is already reported for the undercard. World Boxing News also understands that Mayweather and Ortiz will consider a rematch if they both win on August 24.
Their first job for Mayweather will be pumping out significant promotions to ensure fans fill seats for the event. Mayweather should have no problem selling out the bleachers but may have to compromise to fill the seating closer to the apron.
