    How many of you have been? I've been to the T&M, but never there. I'm trying to figure out what prices may be -- all I can find is that Morales/Pacquiao was $75 for the cheapies -- any any other important details.

    Also, considering that neither Cotto nor Margarito is a true PPV draw -- based on Miguel's most recent ratings -- I imagine Top Rank will put together a pretty good undercard.

    Any guesses?

    Never been there, but my co-worker goes to a lot of big fights in Vegas and says MGM Grand is a good arena because it's compact so even the bad seats are still decent.

    The prices shouldn't be too bad. It's a great fight but not a big event with big names.

    I went there about 3 weeks ago for a Jay-z concert and I was at the top and the tickets cost $85.00

    the only bad thing about the cheap seats is that most of the time the big screen is covered up by all kinds of metal ****en bars.....other then that, it's pretty badass...

    That sucks. I was up pretty high for Pac/Morales II at the Thomas & Mack (which is bigger than the MGM Garden) and was able to see OK without using the big screen.

    I'm guessing sales won't be huge for this one. As much as we all love it, the general public doesn't care about these guys as much yet. They'd better put some name on the undercard.

    Hey Mate

    I'm from Scotland and have been three times. Oscar v Sturm, Hatton v Pac and Floyd v Shane.

    The tickets vary depeding on the magnitude of the event. Oscar v Sturm was really a semi final if you will and I got $100 tickets. They were three rows from the back.

    Hatton vs. Pacquaio was big and I got $300 tickets which got me almost half way down.

    I paid $300 again for Floyd vs. Shane and had almost identical seats to the ones I had for Oscar and Sturm.

    Hope that makes sense. What fight are you looking at going to?
