Mayweather, Pacquaio bout, some ticket will vost $100,000


Tickets for next week's fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio should finally go on sale on Thursday, with some expected to cost £60,000 ($100,000) on the resale market.

The MGM Grand in Las Vegas has a capacity of 16,500 but only about 1,000 seats can be bought by the public.
The rest will go to the fighters, the casino, sponsors and promoters.
The cheapest ticket for the 2 May bout will cost £1,000 ($1,500), rising to around £6,700 ($10,000).
The MGM also announced the sale of thousands of closed circuit seats at its various properties at £100 ($150) apiece.
With nine days to the fight, the sale of tickets had become a key issue.
Reports claimed they had been unavailable because the two sides were arguing over who got what tickets and where they were located.
