      The whole ticketmaster thing is good advice. But since you're flying internationally another alternative is if you plan on ******** enough money you may be able to score free tickets from your hotel. So talk to different hotels and see what they offer.

        Ticketmaster spring huge "convenience" and "processing" charges on people

        Buy a 100 ticket and you'll probably pay $120 for it

        For lower price tickets, you will probably pay and extra 40% per ticket

        Its not a scam but its a rip off, most are completely clueless to it. Check this out: http://money.cnn.com/2011/12/02/news...suit/index.htm

              Big fight weekends are entirely different. The atmosphere is electric. It's also a huge bonus to see other fighters around town as well. We ended up being seated next to Cotto for brunch when we were in Vegas for Pac-Mosley, that was priceless.

                  Pbf/mosley went on sale first week of march so i would expect this fight to be similar

                      Yes, huge. My guess would be about 50grand would be the lowball cutoff where most places consider comping rooms and shows.

                      But since you're coming all the way across the atlantic it may be worth the gamble. The average domestic tourist will spend between 1-5k on just the hotel room alone for between 3-5nights in vegas. Plus you'll likely spend between 1.5-3k on 2 fight tickets for nosebleeds so you're already closing in on 10grand. Plus the money for food, alcohol and whatever souvenirs you wanna take back and it adds up quick. But like I said...call different hotels and im sure they have different players club packages.
