  • Question about attending big fight Weigh-ins

    How early do you usually have to get to the arena for a big fight weigh-in such as Pacquiao or Mayweather to ensure you can make it in before it fills up? I want to attend the Pac-JMM weigh-in but at the same time don't wanna sit around and wait for too long, my time in Vegas is limited and precious!

    The weigh-in starts at 3:00 PM PST. I was thinking of getting there 1-1.5 hours in advance. Think I will be safe?

    Get there in the morning if you can. Lines get crazy bro. One time I arrived like 2 hours early and it was so full that I cut right in front of someone in line. He cursed me out but Ijust ignored it.

      Trust me you can’t go wrong arriving at least 2 hours or so earlier. I went to the Manny/Cotto fight weigh-in and if it wasn’t for me bumping into Dougie Fischer and giving me a shortcut to get in line I don’t know how long I would have waited on line.


      Another reason to get there early is because the weigh-in is free to the public and seating is first come first serve, so make a b-line for the front row first chance you get…

          Just recently Moved to Vegas and wanna go to the weigh in. Do you pay to get in or do you just show up and they let a certain amount of people in.

                it's free and it's generally limited to one end of the arena so it holds about 2000 people so get there early
