Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao May 2 MGM Grand Las Vegas

I happen to be in Vegas for this. Which is nice. I certainly won't be getting a ticket, as it's crazy prices, but I'll set up shop in the MGM bar and watch it.

What are the ticket prices for the closed circuit broadcasts?

$150 +booking fee and only available in MGM owned casinos (expected to sell out so buy in advance)

Bellagio/A r i a/MGM/Luxor/Excalibur/NYNY/Mandalay and CC

just sitting at bar in MGM will not be an option it will be in theatres and sportsbooks etc closed to the public

Well that's just dandy. Hey ho, it'll be a good atmosphere

I'm off to the Jay Z hosted pool party at 10 anyway.

Rotty · 23 Apr 2015 at 10:58

you going to pay to go to a screening?

Begbie · 23 Apr 2015 at 12:09

Has a price not been released fully yet? Also if I don't have sky it's not going to be possible to watch this? May aswell watch it from other means in the morning...

Ordinarily I'd say no and Google links just before the fight but this is going to produce a takedown notice world record

Uncle Petey · 23 Apr 2015 at 12:13

It'll probably be uploaded the following day anyway. Good luck avoiding the news and anyone mentioning the outcome though!

So I didn't manage to secure one of the 500 public sale tickets to no surprise...

I have however managed to book a couple of tickets for the Closed Circuit Feed at the Terry Factor Theatre in The Mirage

Happy enough with that since MGM are banning the fight from being shown on the strip apart at their properties.

Oh yeah, I'm flying out to Vegas on the 30th of April for 10 nights...

Rotty · 24 Apr 2015 at 01:05

no it is not available on NOW TV and it's only in SD on Virgin Media

On nightshift in work, with no sky (well I don't have sky anyway) Boxing is a joke at times. :/

That's utterly hilarious! I might peer in the window. Or just play some blackjack while the fights on!

I have Sky but how to watch it? Which channel is it on? Where and how to pay 20 pounds? I never used pay per view before

Cheers

As the fight draws closer, I'm leaning more and more towards Pacquiao nicking a points decision bringing on a rematch.

Wait, you're not flying out to Vegas, Begbie?

I thought you'd stowaway in a cargo hold. After landing, pop-out and 'Pacquiao' the baggage handlers and nick their wallets. Then go to a bookies, hastily place a bet on 'Bad Boy' and leave before the clerk can even ask "is that a boxer's nickname?". Get a bottle of whisky and down it on a bus to the MGM while thinking about 'caerds'. Have a game of pool there but play absolutely ******* gash, then have a bellboy bring you down a ******* smoke. When someone asks you where the bathroom is give them a Glasgow Kiss and nick their ticket. Later as Floyd is walking to the ring casually toss a glass right down on his head, then you immediately kick off a massive brawl. The boxing fight is postponed indefinitely and the world never finds oot what **** did it.... no? Disappointing, Begbie!
