      I Went TO The canelo-Lara Figh. You Can Get A Good View Almost Anywhere. But 350 Is On The Higher End Of The Seats. Tickets Were 900 Right After The Floor Level. And That Was For Canelo. Might Get The Very Top For 350 For Floyd.

        Come the main event, I don't think you'll give a fuck how bad the seat is.

          I've only been to one fight there and I had a pretty good seat about half way up the first section (after floor seats). I remember thinking I wouldn't want to be much higher. But it was the only time I've ever been to a championship fight (Floyd vs Canelo) and the excitement and energy in the arena was unbelievable and something I wish I could do again. You'll have s blast no matter where you sit. I'd love to go.

Lol and keep in mind it's a boxing ring...a square...not even a field...yes there are giant screens hanging but wtf are u paying that money to go sit and watch a screen? U can do that s.hit home...

              they arent all in the corner. I got those same seats in the dead center. Just have to find the right time and be kinda lucky. I still dont think its as bad as you do. Every building is made different too so some places have better top row views anyways. MGM hasnt been bad for me but Ive never sat in the very top corner but I still think it will be solid compared to just about anywhere else if you sit at the very top

                Is it really that expensive in Vegas? 350$ for nose bleeds?

                I just could not justify that. That means 700$ or a 1000$ wont even give me a solid seat?

                I'm not broke by any stretch, 400$ is 400$ that's a lot of liquor and PPV...You can even throw a hooker in there and still stay under 500$.

                **** for 1000$ I can get a 4 star week long all inclusive in Dominican some place....4.5 star in Cuba...

                madness

                I had no idea.....

                  True...it's just that me and my buddy were thinking about it but forget it.

                  For me it would cost going from Toronto...

                  Around 800$ for round trip flight...Another 800$ in Hotel....then tickets + all the other ****...

                  Looking at 4 racks it seems. Too much man, relatively speaking. For 4000$ I'm tanning my nuts at some nice hotel in Jamaica with my woman drinking blue label in my room and rum and cokes on the beach.

                  Now Atlantic City...maybe I should look into that.

                    I think I would never pay more than $200 a boxing ticket. The fights are way overprice and the undercards always suck and the main event 80% turns out to be a dud.

                    I remember people paying $1,500 to sit in the nosebleed to see Mayweather-Canelo and looked how that fight played out zzzzzzzzzzzzz that's when you hear or read somebody say the atmosphere was crazy that just means the main event ******.

                      That was a great fight to sit front row for. I bet you will remember that night forever.

                      Sorry, thought I read first row, not last row. lmao. Still, good seats.
