If you're seeing tickets for sale they are likely fake. Tickets are supposed to go on sale the 24th, no idea if there's a presale or not.

I just cannot get over this line of thinking. Why exactly is Conor McGregor, he of zero professional boxing fights and zero fights at the highest level of amateur boxing, a bigger threat to Floyd than the 45 or so opponents Floyd faced who have extensive boxing backgrounds? Because he talks #### really good? Yes more than likely if Conor pulls the miracle it will be an early win because of his tendency to get gassed, but he could very likely punch himself out while not landing a single decent punch, or maybe even a single punch period.
I think maybe if Floyd were known for being lazy and not taking fights seriously we could consider the possibility of Conor landing the one shot he needs. But Floyd, like him or hate him, is undeniably an exceptionally hard worker. He will be as ready as he always is. And if he is, the real "fight" might be to see if Conor can land more than 20 punches the whole fight. And if you've seen the Conor sparring videos....I'd say take the under on landing 20 punches.
