Want to score a ticket to the Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao fight on May 2? We've got two words for you: GOOD LUCK.

According to Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum, there aren't going to be any "comps" for the fight. So it doesn't matter if your name is Jay Z or Jay Smith, you're not going to be able to get into the fight for free:

Per @BobArum: there will be ZERO comps for the #MayweatherPacquiao fight. No matter who you are. @ESPNLasVegas

Instead, you're going to have to pay a lot of money. There's a chance that you could score a couple of nosebleed seats for a few thousand dollars a pop. But if you want something closer, it's going to cost you a fortune to see the fight and then you're going to need to be prepared to bet up to $250,000 once it's over:

Bob Arum @ESPNLasVegas: To get ringside txs to Floyd/Manny, you must have at least a $250,000 credit line w/ MGM to even get consideration.

So basically, just plan on watching the fight at home. It's going to cost you upwards of $100 to do it, but you won't have to worry about mortgaging your house or selling off everything you own to afford it.
