The ticket for his fight against Manny Pacquaio sold out within hours of release, but that is not the case for for Floyd Mayweather's 'last fight'
against British boxer is Andre Berto.
Even with a low price compared to the tickets for Mayweather-Pacquiao-which ranged from $1,500 to $10,000-the Beto and Mayweather fight which most expensive pass cost just $1,500.
Mayweather though is not bothered as he will be pocketing $38million for this sixth and final fight of his massively enriching contract with the Showtime cable TV network.
People can tune in and watch or they can choose not to watch. Doesn't worry me. My boxing legacy is secure, including being the all-time record seller on pay-per-view," Mayweather said.
The choice of Beto has his opponent might have also led to the low ticket sales as people think that Mayweather has chose an easy opponent.
Berto is also set to for a $4m pay for the fight against Mayweather.
