Missed out on the blitz known as the “selling of tickets for the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. mega fight?”

Fear not. Secondary markets are here to save the day.

Or maybe crush your dreams.

StubHub, a ticket reselling site, lists the cheapest ticket at $5,562.75.

It’s slightly cheaper than the $7,500 ticket sold during the one-minute long public sale.

StubHub’s cheapest ticket, though, is at Section Upper 220 of the MGM Grand Garden Arena, so far that viewers sitting at that section won’t exactly have the brightest view of the two boxers as they attempt to unify the WBO, WBC, and WBA welterweight titles on  May 2.

If you want a seat close to ringside, fear not, StubHub is once again offering a solution.

Their best tickets are for Floor Side E- Rows DD-FF.

Viewers can really take the action up close enough, the boxers’ sweat may, probably, drop on them.

For those who want the floor side seats, they will only have to pay a generous amount of $105,305.25.
