Your support makes all the difference.Ticket details for Floyd Mayweather’s fight against Conor McGregor have finally been announced, and fans face having to pay up to £7,800 to see the contest in Las Vegas on August 26.
Tickets for the fight, which is expected to become the most lucrative event in the history of the sport, will go on sale later this month, on July 24.
Prices begin at £390, although it has already been revealed that the cheapest tickets will be “very limited.”
Other seats will be selling for £1,200, £2,000, £2,800, £4,000 and £5,900.
The fight will be staged at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, after promoters were able to reach an agreement with Ice Cube to move the championship game of his Big3 basketball league.
The fight was thrown into some doubt when it emerged that the final game of the 3-on-3 league was meant to be staged on the same evening, at the same venue. However, the basketball final will not be held at the neighbouring MGM Grand Garden Arena.
But on Thursday, the basketball league said that it had reached a financial and promotional deal with MGM Resorts, Mayweather Promotions and the UFC, who represent McGregor.
Pay-per-view information for British fight fans has not yet been disclosed, although the American PPV price has been set an eye-watering $99.95.
Prices in the UK are unlikely to run as high, although the British PPV record is widely expected to be topped.
The fight between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is currently the most expensive boxing match in UK pay-per-view history.
The channel charged customers up to £24.95 to watch the bout depending on how it was booked.
