the fight attendence is small over 16 thousand. someone should have sent this fight to a bigger venue. i mean its the fight of the century. the ali vs spinks fight in 1978 was over 63 thousand and largest fight ever was in mexico city chavez vs haugen in 1993 with 132,247 people. More people will see the superbowl live in person than this event yet the tickets cost more than the superbowl

Because Vegas is the only city that wants this fight lol Everything is overpriced! They wouldn't sell this out at Cowboys Stadium if they tried.....

MGM will be half empty
the buzz has faded, hotel room prices have plummeted
no one cares except for celebrities and the 1%ers
many of whom have decided to cancel and watch at home

There's no real point going to a fight unless you're close to the ring. So the bigger the venue the more people attend that can see f*ck all.
