2 weeks before Mayweather-Pacquiao, not a ticket to be seen (The Associated Press)
Don’t expect to snag a $1,500 nosebleed ticket – or any other ticket – at the box office for the fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. Just two weeks before the bout, tickets for the most anticipated fight in recent times have yet to go on public sale, with the two camps and the MGM Grand locked in a standoff over allotments. The impasse has left fans in the dark, and ticket brokers perplexed. ”It’s bizarre, normally there’s a public sale 10 weeks before the fight,” said Connor Gregoire, an analyst for Seatgeek.com.
