Floyd Mayweather Vs. Conor McGregor Live Streaming Tickets Among Highest-Selling In History On Secondary Market. Tickets for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor boxing live match are still available on the secondary market, but one premier vendor says there isn't a ton available.

According to data provided to me by StubHub, MayMac is already the No. 2 best-selling fight in the company's history, which began in 2000. Up to this point, MayMac's ticket sales were still trailing the Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao bout from 2015.
This seems somewhat consistent with what was implied by Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe when he claimed the fight had already taken in $60 million in gate revenue. That $60 million total would put it $12 million behind Mayweather-Pacquiao on the all-time list for highest-grossing gates.
There are still nine days to go before the fight takes place, and last-minute promotional posturing is already in full swing. McGregor had a media session on Wednesday and Mayweather will put his time on Thursday. The Nevada State Athletic Commission also agreed to allow the fight to be contested with 8-ounce gloves, which is different than the 10-ounces that were originally agreed upon.
The use of lighter gloves would imply fans will see more action, and could conceivably give McGregor a better chance to land the power shot his supporters believe he must connect with to have a chance to beat Mayweather.
Per StubHub, as of August 14, they had 1,800 tickets remaining with a starting price around $1,550. Interest in the fight as a legitimate bout doesn't appear to be there, but there's a strong curiosity that could still ultimately drive revenue to the record-breaking numbers originally expected.
