    What's that Ron, when you say Arums planned pricing, I didn't hear anything about that. Are you talking about a five to ten US pricing. Doesn't seem like that's happening but it would be nice. @Ron Swanson

    Speaking from a UK point of view id bet A LOT of money it doesn't beat the Hatton v Mayweather PPV figures

    Only 8 weeks to push it and No UK fighter involved either Plus another factor is there are so many ways people can watch it either for free in HD (like me) or join a decent streaming site for a few quid and stream it in High Quality also.

    I'd be very surprised if it beats the Hatton fight figures and it's gonna be way more expensive too!

    Infact i can see it being minimum of £29.99 but realistically i'd say around £34.99

    Not worthy a penny. They should be giving it away. Maybe if it happened in 2009-2011 you could charge that... not now.

    Well it's actually been pushed and advertised for a number of years.

    You might be right, but I doubt it. Please keep us in the US, posted. Just curious.

    I mean only in China. Bobs been working on a PPV model for over there. Just because of the insane numbers of people if they can get it going there is crazy money to be made.

    5 years later, am too old to care about it enough to fork out that amount.

    Money and Hayman can find their moolah elsewhere

    These fools are going to price themselves out of a fortune. It always happens at big events where a lot of good seats go unsold at stupid prices and become available at event time. There is no way I'm going to pay $100 for a PPV. I'll go to the local casino or sports bar and watch it free. The big betters who show up at ring side maybe thinking they will make their ticket money back, off their bet, which should make the arena an awesome atmosphere with so much as risk. With so much anticipation, I'm expecting we may see a few non-ring fights as well. I've been hearing it's not uncommon for a $30,000 bet to be put down on Mayweather.

    Sky sports are apparently front runners to secure the fight

    Floyd Mayweather Jnr takes on Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on May 2
    US fans will be charged $95.95 to watch the fight on pay-per-view
    Sky Sports, BT Sport and ITV could bid to show it in the UK
    The rights are expected to cost between £5m and £10m


    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Feel a moderately financially successful event will be outcome at that price.
    If they had more time to publicise to wider audience, perhaps price wouldn't be so high.

    Bob Arum has stated that ringside tickets will be around the $250,000 mark.
    I'm not having that!

    Ringside tickets to Mayweather-Pacquiao run 250,000 dollars | Sporting News
    I'd be amazed if they're that cheap. The MGM will want all the decent ones for the big gamblers who are coming to watch. These guys bet that much on a hand of cards or the spin of a wheel. There'll be more guys who want to watch this fight who are guaranteed to drop an eight figure sum in Vegas than there are really good ringside seats. You might get something fifteen rows back for that money.
