    I went over to Vegas for the Cotto vs Pacquiao fight mate. From what i can remember, i got tickets from the Top Rank website (which directed me to Ticket Master when i clicked on their link). Pacquiao and Cotto were both with Top Rank then so i guess thats why they were sold via the Top Rank website. Not to sure how that would work with Mayweather-Cotto..maybe there will be links on Mayweathers website (if he has one) ?
    Also, when i signed upto Top Ranks newsletter, they sent me a code to use, so i could buy tickets 24 hours before general sale..so look out for any offers like that if possible.

    Another thing was, they didn't send the tickets out, we had to pick them up from the MGM box office a day or 2 before fight-night.

      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.

            Tickets start at 500dollars and I doubt you wanna watch the fight by yourself or get the cheapest seats possible.

              Flight and hotel prices get jacked up for floyd n pac fight. Add to that its a u.s holiday so there'll be plenty of people who dont care about the fight ******* up prices even further

                  Well then well done. Enjoy your vegas trip. My suggestion would be to get to the arena early. They usually start the nontelevised undercard around 4-5 in the afternoon.
