Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao face off in the highly awaited main event bout dubbed “The Fight of the Century” on May 2 inside a sold-out MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, NV; the epic showdown between the global icons is poised to generate $595 million, which is more money than that of what many minted casinos in Sin City accumulate in three months of business.
The ultimate once in a lifetime clash between the 38-year-old Grand Rapids native and the pride of The Philippines has unsurprisingly witnessed tickets for “The Fight of the Century” sold beyond the excess of $300,000, coupled with multi-million dollar ringside seats purchased by passionate boxing afficianados in part to agreeing to a transaction in multi-million dollar credit lines within Las Vegas casinos; the Mayweather Jr and Pacquiao spectacle will be sandwiched between a David Copperfield magic show and a live concert courtesy of “We Belong Together” pop icon, Mariah Carey; Carey inked a $50 million residency deal in Las Vegas in January 2015.
