    I've lined up a cheap hotel room through the hotel I work at (only 35 bucks a night and less then 2 miles from the MGM) and my dad is throwing 300 bucks in for the tickets. This is my first live boxing event and first time to MGM, so does anyone know if the $1,000 seats are worth the extra money, or should I stick with the $300 or $500 seats? I can't seem to find where the prices line up with the seating levels haha! I'm stoked for this fight! :happy

    Its gonna be my first time too and can't wait. Already got my flight and hotel booked. Don't know if I should go for the $500 or $300 tickets. I went to ticketmaster and looked at the mayweather and marquez tickets to get an idea of the seating. Looks like the $500 dollar tickets are only gonna get you one section up.

    I went to the Pac/Hatton fight live at the MGM so in all honesty any seat is a good seat.

    I was in the ****in' nose bleeds and it was still decently viewable. Many people have this misconception that the MGM is HUUUUGE...its not. Its very big, but not stadium status.

    There will be no need for binoculars. But the closer you are the more intense it is. So the 300 or 500 seats are pretty badass man.

    Although if you opt for the 150 thats fine too. Every seat is a good seat man! :good

    Sounds awesome! Yeah I'm at least doing the $500 seats, just trying to figure if it's worth shelling out the extra money for the $750 or $1,000 seats haha! The gf is being a good sport and going with, though she's not convinced $1,000 a seat is a good idea haha!

    Pay the 300.00 and have more money for partying. You'll regret paying 1000.00. You can see from anywhere in the arena. The main thing is you get to enjoy the atmosphere regardless of where you sit.

    I'm thinking about going with the $300 instead of the $500 to have more spending money too. How much better are the $300 than the $150?

    i sat in a $500 seat for the floyd oscar fight, one row up from the floor and it was a perfect spot to watch from

    $1000 seats are great but not worth double the money IMO

    If you can afford the expensive seats then go for it.

    You know why? Because that's the place where you are most likely to see celebrities and other athletes up close.

    Good for you bruh . . . good luck and enjoy!

    MGM looks bigger in pictures and video. When you're there (I had 300 dollar seats for the Pac/Hatton fight), you see everything surprisingly.

    Although if you could spring for the 1000 tickets, do it, fights are so fun.
