Floyd Mayweather Jr. claimed of retiring after his fight against Andre Berto on Saturday. The match is fast approaching, but it has been reported that there are still tickets available despite being low-priced compared to his fight with the Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao.
The seats for Mayweather-Pacquiao fight cost up to $10,000. That is $8,500 more than the most expensive seat of Mayweather-Berto match this weekend, which merely costs $1,500 Telegraph reported.
There are still more than 2,100 seats available at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas, excluding the tickets, which are usually handled by the promoters, TechTimes found out via ESPN.
Additionally, it has also been reported that the television subscription for this weekend's match was just ne-third of the 400 million viewers of his fight in May. Mayweather Jr., on the other hand, doesn't care about it.
The WBA Super and WBC welterweight champion said that nobody was being forced to watch, and the same goes to the write-ups.
"I'm not saying if you write good or bad, just continue to write. Keeps me relevant," he added.
Debates are ongoing, but the undefeated champ seems to care less because he is already determined to quit the sport after the fight with Berto.
The pound-for-pound king stated that he was not worried about losing. Skysports learned that his main concern was his health.
Mayweather Jr., said that anything could happen for sticking around for too long. A lot of money can be made from boxing, but he still wanted to be able to talk, walk and have a sharp mind.
Talking about his opponent, Berto, Mayweather Jr. said, "He feels like he has nothing to lose."
"I think that when you've got a guy that's put in that situation, it makes him work that much harder because he's got a chance to be one of the top guys in the sport when I'm through," he added.
