Maybe Ward's team was onto something when they had second thoughts about staging the fight at the T-Mobile arena?
For those that are unaware, McGregor Diaz 2 is being staged at the T-Mobile yet they are still 2700 tickets away from a sellout and the fight is two days away. The Ticket prices range from $365-$9,995, but apparently the main reason for the lack of ticket sales is that the arena isn't attached to a casino.

If They're having trouble selling out Diaz vs. McGregor, then what does that mean for Kovalev vs. Ward?
Keep in mind the Canelo vs. Khan fight wasn't a sellout either. They sold 13,000 tickets in a venue that holds 20,000.

Roger Jones of Vegas Tickets, among the biggest resellers of UFC tickets, says the main factor is the new T-Mobile Arena. Having a permanent venue that is not tied to a casino, Jones said, has allowed people who wanted premium tickets to reserve them ahead of time. That means there are fewer people and companies looking for the best seats on an event-by-event basis.
"It's affecting everything in this arena, including concerts," Jones said. "If you are Turner Construction, a big company here, you've already purchased your suite. Even a guy who has a business with decent presence in Las Vegas isn't looking around for seats at the last minute because he already got club-seat rights."
Even on a reduced price, Jones is reselling the $365 tickets at $250, and the $2,950 seats at $1,800.
