As has already been mentioned ticket prices are pretty high for this fight. They were just as high for the first fight but it had the fact it was their first meeting going for it.
I was there and I noticed that some of the expensive seats dead centre in the upper portion of the lower bowl were not filled. These were tickets that were put aside by the fighters camps to sell themselves through hotel/package deals and through after market scalpers. Some still went unsold.
They didn't lower prices for the rematch and you've got to wonder why. The writing was on the wall. You've got the A side in the fight in Canelo coming off a failed drug test and suspension for PED's. Golovkin to my eyes looks like a shot fighter wearing cement shoes. He's just not what he once was. Did they really think it would do as well as the first fight? I think a lot of people are saying "stick those outrageous prices up your ass".
There are a lot of tickets left. A glaring indication is that when you go to the T-Mobile Arena site to buy tickets (it's run by AXS) you aren't able to see individual seats on the map, this is usually a sign tickets aren't moving too well and they don't want you to see all the plethora of available seats.
If you take a look at the upcoming McGregor-Khabib UFC fight in the same arena the first weekend of October they only have a handful of the most expensive seats left ($2,000 - $2,500 range). Everything else was sold out on the first day.
It's going to be a buyers market for Canelo-Golovkin tickets come fight weekend.
you should be able to snag a pretty good seat come fight day on the aftermarket for $500 if you're looking to go.
I'm not for the simple reason that Golovkin looks to me like a guy that's well past his prime. He's slowed considerably.
I favour Canelo to take the rematch by decision.
