The tickets are ridiculously expensive. The experience of just being in Vegas during a big fight weekend, and feeling the energy of the crowd is worth it. If you're a real fan, you'll get there early and watch a bunch of the undercard fights. If you want to risk it, you can try to buy cheap tickets the day of or before the fight from brokers trying to get rid of them. Try going to some smaller shows, a little more than a hundred can get you up close and personal which is fun also.
Just checked ticketmaster the tickets for Mayweather Ortiz started at 150 and the most expensive were 1200.
If you want to go a big fight find out when tickets go on sale get your money together and buy from ticketmaster as soon as they go on sale. Dont buy from these secondary ticket vendors you will get ripped off.
Oh i see fvck. 150 for bleachers i guess is OK. Just for the experience but i bet you cant see ****.
Pac Marquez 3 - Lowest i could find is 500
Ortiz Mayweather - Lowest i could find 365
Man thats a pretty penny especially in this type of economy.

You have to buy your tickets directly from ticketmaster if you want decent prices. I think a lot of you dudes are going to other sites who jack the prices up.
How about the local Sky cards? I thought tickets were mega cheap? Like the Scottish card recently and the cards done by the smaller promoters?
That sucks if its $35 squid. Most of the Sky cards are mega boring between 2 midgets going to decision but the crowd is ALWAYS packed.
Haven't seen the latest sky card but no joke man , I love boxing but I'm not paying £35 to see willie no chin vs joe from down the street and yes sadly a lot of our domestic fighters lack power . The last fight I saw live was Burns Martinez . I payed £80 ,it was considered to be a complete mismatch but the house was packed and it turned out to be worth every penny .
Not entirely true . We get reamed over here in the UK when it comes to ticket prices even for mediocre domestic cards and even the poor local cards can cost £35 + . America is better in regards to ticket prices where you can see guys like Rios , Martinez , meaningful title fights etc. from 50 dollars . My brother went to the states and saw Margarito Mosley for 20 something dollars . We still pack the house out though lol

While UK you could see a show every week for a few squid.

I am going to the Ward vs Froch fight. IMO the tickets for the event is not really the expensive part. Its the travel price and the hotel price. I can drive to Atlantic City so I save money there. But I had to fly out vegas for PBF vs. De la Hoya and that sh!t cost MONEY!!!
I will say that for all the fights I have been to it was money well spent. I live my life from the standpoint of if I don't feel ripped off then fvck the price!!!! Truly most people only feel bad about what they spent when they feel they didn't get they moneys worth!
I agree with the other poster if you are a boxing fan the atmosphere of a big fight is something you need to experience. It just different than all other sports.
This is why boxing in USA/Canada is dead. in Europe/UK they have weekly shows in alot of cities done by many promoters where people can go watch a fight for like $10 or $20. and tickets for the huge cards like Klitschko's start at like $30-$50 and theres ALOT of tickets for sale.
Here in Canada (Toronto), we very very very rarely have shows and when they do happen its usually complete bums and tickets are still like $30 or $50 or when we have someone like Neven (HW Champ) fighting tickets started out like $300-$1000(table). I was lucky to get a ticket for free because THE PROMOTER DIDNT SELL ANY, HE JUST GAVE THEM ALL AWAY TO FRIENDS.

In Usa/Canada we need smarter small-time / medium promoters that actually use it to give the fans a show instead of making it a glorified business party where a bunch of corporate fux sit around 20 tables in a 5 star hotel and drink / eat a 6 course meal while there is a "boxing match" infront of them. Complete joke.
then people wonder why Boxing is going downhill. Cause promoters arent putting anything back for the people.
I should become a promoter and put on weekly fights
Pac Marquez 3 - Lowest i could find is 500
Ortiz Mayweather - Lowest i could find 365
Man thats a pretty penny especially in this type of economy.
Be lucky this isn't an ODH fight. $365 gets you in the last few rows by the exits.
I saw Margarito-Williams for $50, watch PAC-Clottey for $80... so I think it's just Las Vegas tickets that are expensive.
Those are impressive prices. Seeing live, a fighter of Pacquiao's quality for only $50 it's a steal.
I paid $125 to watch Mikey Garcia vs Matt Remillard, I thought it was expensive but the experience was worth it.
500 for me is kinda steep, but I could see how some people pay that much.
