Is Someone Really Going to Pay $344,486 for a Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao Ticket?
That's a solid $200,000 more than the second-highest priced ticket for the fight.

After months of haggling, only 500 tickets for the Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao fight went on sale to the public. Tickets are so scarce, and there's been such a short turnaround between the release of tickets and the actual fight date that the secondary market's lost its goddamn mind. StubHub had one ticket priced at over $140,000, and Pacquiao's spent over $3 million buying up tickets for his 900 person entourage.
One reseller website, TicketCity, has the most absurd ticket listing we've come across yet. To sit ringside, right in the center of the action, you'll have to fork over $344,486 for that ticket.

On the plus side, you can pick-up the tickets TODAY. No printing at home, suckas! Your valuable $40 ink cartridge is safe for $344,486, and if you've got two friends who want to come with to the fight, a little over a million dollars (if $33,458 can be considered "little" to you) will get the squad in the building.
GET THAT $53,781 SERVICE CHARGE THE FUCK OUTTA HERE THOUGH.
Right now, a total over five ringside tickets are listed on TicketCity for over $280,000 a pop. That's DOUBLE the previous high that we saw on StubHub. As the fight draws nearer and nearer (it'll likely go down just after midnight, in the early Sunday morning EST hours), prices keep skyrocketing to insane levels. Supply and demand is a helluva drug.
