Mayweather v Pacquiao tickets go on sale just nine days before they are due to meet in Las Vegas Magna Media

Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao tickets will finally go on sale at 8pm BST on 23 April just nine days before the eagerly anticipated bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on 2 May.

A dispute between the fight's co-promoters Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank and the MGM Grand over corporate tickets forced the delay, before an agreement was signed between the three parties.

Despite the legendary Nevada venue having a capacity of 16,800, just 1,000 seats will go on sale to the public with the remainder of the tickets going to each fighter, the casino, sponsors and promoters.

"We resolved all of the issues and now we're waiting for the paperwork," Top Rank chief Bob Arum said. "I said on the call that if what we agreed upon is in the paperwork we receive, we will sign it and the tickets will be released."

Mayweather, unbeaten in 47 professional fights, added: "I don't worry about tickets, I worry about the guy in front of me. Manny Pacquiao that's my whole focus. Tickets is something I don't deal with."
