    Berto vs Mayweather ticket sales struggling

    If this is Floyd Mayweather's last fight, he's going out with a dud at the box office.
    With a little more than four days until Mayweather's fight against Andre Berto at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Ticketmaster shows there are more than 2,100 seats available -- and that doesn't even count the tickets that are typically held by the promoters.


    That's despite the fact that the face value of this fight -- ranging from $125 to $1,500 -- is significantly lower than the prices for Mayweather's fight in May against Manny Pacquiao.


    StubHub spokesman Glenn Lehrman said the leading resale site had an average ticket sale price of $5,095 for Mayweather's fight against Pacquiao, while the average sale for Saturday's fight is more than six times less ($799). As of 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday morning, only 25 seats to the Mayweather-Berto fight had been sold for more than $1,000 on StubHub.


    In fact, the site has done a bigger business on the Anthony Joshua-Gary Cornish fight in London on Saturday than Mayweather-Berto.
    While hotels in town had raised their prices to more than four times their normal rates for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, there has been no bump for Mayweather-Berto.


    Late last week, as ticket sales halted, MGM Hotels started offering more aggressive deals to those who have frequently stayed at their properties. One offer was $1,000 for a two-night stay at the MGM Grand that included two Mayweather-Berto tickets.


    The lack of interest in Mayweather's opponent is understandable. Berto has lost three of his last six fights, and many don't believe that this, Mayweather's 49th fight, will be his last because another win after this would allow him to pass Rocky Marciano's record of 49-0.
    "This is 100 percent his last fight," Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe reiterated to ESPN.com on Tuesday.


    Still, gamblers aren't particular intrigued with Mayweather-Berto either. In order to win $1 at the Wynn Sports Book, a bettor favoring Mayweather to win would have to risk $35.

    Anyone willing to shell out big money to see this trash after that last abomination is in denial of the growing cultural despondency towards boxing.

    Absolutely. He won't risk Berto even laying a glove on him, and will flurry in and out for an easy decision. Another boring fight.

    Not totally easy, Floyd could win by stoppage against somebody like Berto, in the form of TKO.

    Berto has only been stopped once in 30 pro fights and that was in the final round. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_Berto

    Not likely that happens again especially against Floyd "dance around to a decision" Mayweather...

    If you take Mayweather "by any decision" at -193. It would make sense to also hedge Berto at +1600 just to cover the initial investment on the Mayweather bet, and give you insurance against the fluke KO by Berto. It should never happen, but we've all seen crazy things happen in Boxing over the years.

    Berto by KO,TKO,DQ +2372
    Berto +32.5 points (-140)

    - Floyd/Manny was the fight everyone paid for but wished they didn't.
    - Floyd/Berto will be the fight everyone didn't see but wished they did.

    And that was the fight I think he injured his shoulder early and basically finished one armed, tough dude.

    I'm on OVER 9.5 rounds and MAYWEATHER by decision.

    Berto might get dropped, but not stopped. The only worry I have is that jab of Floyd that's gonna land constantly, Bertos face swells up real fast. This might lead to a TKO stoppage but I don't think so.

    Berto looks to be in tremendous shape and lighter than before weighing in at 145 pounds. He definitely got the stamina to go 12.

    Mayweather wins tonight by UD and doesn't step in the ring to fight again. #TBE
