Floyd Mayweather And Andre Berto Will Fight This Weekend In A Stadium Of Empty Seats

Apparently, nobody cares about watching Floyd Mayweather fight Andre Berto. It's not a total surprise since Berto lost three out of his last six fights and is a 17:1 underdog.
Mayweather's swagger and villainous attitude isn't winning him any new supporters either. Now, especially with reports of doping before his fight against Manny Pacquiao, ticket sales aren't expected to increase leading up to the fight.

The average ticket sale price on StubHub for Mayweather's fight against Pacquiao was a whopping $5,095. Compared to the average ticket prices for his fight this weekend of $799, the tickets are going for
more than six times less. It's not looking like there will be a full arena cheering Mayweather on this time around.

 

According to ESPN reporter Darren Rovell, "With a little more than four days until Mayweather's fight against Andre Berto at the MGM Gardern Arena in Las Vagas, Ticketmaster shows there are more than 2,100 seats available - and that doesn't even count the tickets that are typically held by the promoters."

StubHub spokesperson Glenn Lehrman followed up saying, "As of 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday morning, only 25 seats to the Mayweather-Berto fight had been sold for more than $1,000 on StubHub." So it sounds like if Mayweather was hoping to make as much money as his last fight, he's going to be very disappointed.

 There's not really a reason to go even though Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe said that "This is 100 percent his last fight." Everybody knows that Mayweather wants to beat Rocky Marciano's 49-0 undefeated record, which means that we'll probably see at least one more Mayweather fight in the future.
