Floyd Mayweather v Conor McGregor T Mobile Arena is ready



Las Vegas is bubbling with excitement ahead of Floyd Mayweather's cross-over fight against Conor McGregor.

T-Mobile Arena will play host and the stage is being set for combat sport's two biggest stars to go toe-to-toe.

The 20,000 capacity venue was a hive of activity as workers set about constructing a platform worthy of holding what is expected to be the most lucrative bout in history.



Despite the hype reaching a crescendo in time for August 26, there are still unsold tickets for the fight.

On Wednesday there were still as many as 7,000 available for the action.



Even the cheapest $500 (£390) tickets are selling for as much as $1,300 (£1,015) on resale sites.

Premium ringside seats, which originally retailed at $10,000 (£7,800), are being offered by secondary agencies for as much as $107,000 (£83,477).

As the fight approaches, however, prices on the resale market are starting to come down with plenty of availability.

Organisers will be keen to ensure the arena is rocking come fight night, as television viewers will not want to see empty seat for what has been billed as an incredible spectacle.

No doubt Irish fans will make their voices heard, having descended en masse to cheer on the UFC lightweight champion.



McGregor's support is fervant and passionate, having enjoyed his journey to the top from being on the dole in Dublin.

They will now be able to witness what could be his crowning glory against arguably the best of all time to lace up boxing gloves.

The underdog has been written off by many in boxing but if he is to shock the world, those inside T-Mobile Arena will never forget it.
