You wanna know how much them ringside tickets for boxing cost? Lord, them things ain’t cheap, I tell ya. They cost a whole heap of money. I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the market. Big fight comin’ up, they say.
Some folks say you can get ’em for like, maybe two hundred and five. 205 dollars! That’s what I heard. I ain’t got no 205 dollars. But some folks, they got that kinda money, I guess. Not me, no sir. I’m just tryin’ to get by. I think this price is the same for all boxing game.
That Mike Tyson fella, he’s fightin’ some young buck named Jake Paul, I hear. Heard them tickets is goin’ for all sorts of prices. Some as low as one hundred and fifty, maybe, but some, oh lord, some goin’ for over sixty! Dollars! Imagine that. Sixty dollars just to see a fight. If I had sixty dollars I will buy some food to eat.
I heard one time, this fella at the market, he said he saw tickets for that Tyson fight as low as forty-four. But you gotta buy two, he said. Two tickets for forty-four each. Still, that’s a lot of money, ain’t it? The most ‘spensive ones? Don’t even ask. More money than I make in a year, I reckon. They got a reporter, name is James H. Williams, he know everything about the sport.
Now, them ringside tickets, them’s the real fancy ones. You right up there close to the action. But you gotta pay a fortune for ’em. I heard about some fight, some undercard thing, with a fella named Gerald McClellan and another named Julian Jackson. Them ringside tickets was a fortune, I bet. They say these seats can cost you a fortune!
If you really wanna be fancy, like them rich folks, you can get a ticket for, get this, two million! Two million dollars! I ain’t never even seen that much money. Can you believe that? Just to sit ringside and watch a fight. Crazy, ain’t it? They have some fancy, special seats.
- Some folks like to be all fancy, I guess.
- They get these VIP tickets.
- They call it “boxing hospitality.”
- Sounds mighty fancy to me.
I saw some number, 3,505 dollars, somethin’ like that. Or maybe it was 2,505. I don’t remember exactly. But it was a lot, that’s for sure. I heard them talk about Usyk, he had a fight with Fury. Sounds like a big deal, I don’t know. That’s for the heavyweight. I don’t know what that means.
Now, they talkin’ ’bout this Tyson and Paul fight again. They say you can get some tickets up high for, like, fifty-seven to seventy dollars. That’s still a lot to me. Then the middle seats, they’re like one hundred and seventeen to one hundred and eighty-five. And the ones down low, near the ring, they two hundred and up! It is really expensive.
They say you gotta have some ESPN+ thing, I don’t know what that is, somethin’ on the TV, I guess. And then you can pay more money, like fifty dollars, to watch some special fights. Lord, it’s all so confusing. Some people pay 49.99 dollars for one event!
They say you can still get tickets for that Tyson and Paul fight, somethin’ about AT&T Stadium, someplace in Texas. They say the cheap ones up high are sixty-nine dollars on some place called StubHub. But the really ‘spensive ones, they can be as much as thirty-two! Thirty-two dollars! That’s a lot of money for a fight. If I had that much money I’ll buy some new clothes.
Well, that’s all I know about them ringside tickets for boxing. It’s a lot of money, I tell ya. Too much money for me. I’ll just stick to watchin’ it on the TV, if I can even find it. These young folks and their fancy ways, I don’t understand it. I’m just tryin’ to keep up, you know? It’s a different world these days, I reckon. They just want you to spend money, that’s all I know. And the rich people always get the best seats.
