It's general admission, so there is no assigned seating. 4 hotels will have the closed circuit. Mandalay Bay, Monte Carlo, The Mirage, and Circus Circus.

There is almost always closed circuit at the MGM itself but all the reports I've read do not list the MGM as having closed circuit for this fight and I'm piss'd over that. All I see on Ticketmaster is for the Mandalay...so it looks like that is where most people will be. The Monte Carlo would be the next closest to the MGM and probably will have a bit of people as well but be smaller in scale than the Mandalay....can't say 100% tho.

The only other time I went to closed circuit at the Mandalay was for Pac/Hatton and it was inside their actual arena, so there were concession stands. If it's in large ballrooms/conference rooms there will be tables to buy tickets for beer etc.

You can bring your own beer/drink into any of these closed circuit, you just have to put it in a plastic cup/bottle before you walk in. They usually provide the cups lol.

anyway I am trying to wait as long as possible to see if they add a closed circuit at the MGM because that is the best atmosphere IMO, since that is where the actual fight is taking place. if not, probably be the mandalay for me. peace

people travel there when they have no intention of watching fights at all or even know what boxing is. it's still fun regardless lol . but yea adding boxing atmosphere of the big floyd/pac bouts, even if it's closed circuit, gives me the excuse to go

If I were in your shoes, I'd just watch it in a movie theater. It's only $18 and the environment is fantastic. HUGE screen with a sold out crowd cheering.

I still remember the 4th round of Mayweather/Ortiz in the theater. The theater was cheering wildly for Ortiz when he began bullrushing Floyd with 1 minute left in the 4th. Then the crowd just went crazy silent when Floyd fed Ortiz that 2 piece and a biscuit.

Ticket and closed circuit info on #MayweatherPacquiao is pending but Arum told me moments ago the closed circuit tix in Vegas will be $150.

My friends and I are planning on going to Vegas for the May/Pac fight. Of course, we're not going to get tickets to the fight. Besides closed circuit, are there other places we could watch the fight?
