Ticket sales to Mayweather-McGregor pick up, setting record

Ken Solky of lasvegastickets.com, considered an expert on the ticket market, estimated Tuesday that only about 1,000 tickets remain on the open market, meaning the Mayweather-Pacquiao record has likely been beaten.

“Those other tickets — like the block the MGM will release to its players — is money that’s already in the bank, so I think they do have that live-gate record right now,” Solky said. “I would believe there’s more than $70 million in the box office as we speak.”

UFC President Dana White said two weeks ago that more than $60 million in ticket sales had been processed.

“That record’s not an issue. We’ve broken every record with the exception of Floyd’s own records,” said Ellerbe, who's also hoping to surpass the 4.6 million pay-per-view buys of Mayweather-Pacquiao. “We’re ecstatic.”

Yea they'll lower prices to move them as the fight gets closer. The article said some people lowered them and the tickets were gone immediately.

I think most of us figured this would happen. They priced it ridiculously high, made what they could, them lowered them and the smart buyers jumped in. Probably have some away as part of package with flight and 3 day hotel stay.

Mayweather-Pacquiao didn't sell out.

Looks like they priced it just right in terms of maximizing the revenue.
