Was hoping my fellow boxing fam has inside connection and know the deal on the closed circuit ticket situation yet? Lol its about 3 weeks away and no info yet.
Much appreciated if anyone knows, cuz i'll be in vegas with my girlfriend for Vegas figh tweek and wanted to be in the atmosphere
Thanks for the info guys!! Good news the closed circuit tickets will only be 150$ a piece, it would be absoletly ridiculous if its 450$ or more just to watch it outside the arena.
I just wanted to be in the atmosphere of Vegas for fight week and the fight, once in a lifetime kind of fight so why not?!!
Hopefully, i can rsvp my closed ciruit tickets once they give a signal its on sale
There's going to be plenty of CC tickets. You'll be able to get one.

Ticket and closed circuit info on #MayweatherPacquiao is pending but Arum told me moments ago the closed circuit tix in Vegas will be $150.— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) April 9, 2015
are the CC tickets also sold through ticketmaster? or do you get them from the hotel?
You can do both usually....typically they would have been on sale already but no word yet.
Closed circuit will be around $100 to $200 to get in. Chances are they will sellout before you get a chance to purchase them but there will plenty of scalpers selling them the night of the fight...just make sure the tickets are legit
Last year when I went to May vs Maidana II the tickets were $100 at the mgm & sold out the day of. Also only MGM & their brother hotels will be allowed to show it on closed circuit. You will have a great time bro trust me, just make sure your $ is right and you reserve a spot in advance. Oh and the pool parties are fun because the DJ's pump the fights the day of. & remember its Mayweathers town so his fans are there full support and let you know it!

If you're a sports fan, Las Vegas is like a home away from home. Walk into one of the city's many hotels and it's possible to watch on television just about any sporting event that is being held on a given day.
Thousands are descending upon the city for the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao bout on May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden. Only about 16,000 will be privileged enough to be inside the arena for the latest incarnation of "The Fight of the Century."
There will be thousands of closed circuit seats available in Las Vegas, but every last one of them will be inside an MGM Resorts-owned property. That means no watching the bout at venerable Las Vegas casino hotels such as Caesars Palace, Wynn Las Vegas or The Venetian.
That means the fight will be available at MGM properties in Las Vegas such as the Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, Mirage, Aria, Montel Carlo and New York-New York.
" ... We have exclusivity to broadcast closed-circuit viewing at our properties," MGM Grand spokesman Scott Ghertner said. "No other hotel-casino properties in Clark County, Nev., can broadcast closed circuit."
There will be a public sale of tickets for the live event, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe told Yahoo Sports, but pricing isn't complete. Low end tickets start at $1,500 and high-end seats go for $7,500. He said the scaling of the ticket prices hasn't been completed.
Ellerbe said he is also doing something special with the tickets to prevent counterfeiting but declined to go into any more detail.
He said that the closed-circuit ticket prices as well as the pay-per-view price have not yet been set. He disputed numerous reports given by Top Rank CEO Bob Arum talking about the total revenue take. He said there is a confidentiality agreement in place that bars parties from discussing many of the terms, and said because deals are yet to be finished it is impossible to speak accurately on financial projections.
