Floyd Mayweather takes on Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on May 2
But no tickets have been sold for the event at the MGM Grand
Briefs are on sale on ticketing websites but the sellers do not have them
Less than 1,000 are expected to go on public sale priced from $1,500
Mayweather-Pacquiao weigh-in will be first ever with paid-for tickets

That's not to say that nobody has bought one; SeatGeek, which claims to be the world's largest event ticket search engine, is selling briefs for up to $30,000 (£20,000).

These are known as 'spec tickets' which the sellers don't have but expect to get before the fight.

The venue for the bout, the 16,500-capacity MGM Grand Arena has the following message on its website:

'Details on ticket sales coming soon! Please be aware that tickets for the May 2, 2015, Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight are not yet available for purchase.

'Buyers should use extra caution when purchasing alleged tickets from unofficial sources, for fraudulent or counterfeit tickets will not be accepted.'

So why the delay?

Initially, Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum said tickets would be on sale in the first week of April but that less than 1,000 - priced between $1,500 and $7,5000 - were expected to be made available to the public.

But last week, SeatGeek analyst Connor Gregoire said: 'It's bizarre, normally there's a public sale 10 weeks before the fight. To our knowledge no one has a printed ticket in their hands right now.'

Gregoire went on to say that only a dozen tickets had been sold through the website at an average price of $8,000 (£5,400).

Another ticketing site, StubHub, are yet to put any tickets on sale.

Spokesperson Alison Salcedo said: 'There's still so much up in the air for this fight that we're not allowing spec sales. We're not willing to take that risk now.'

As far as Arum is concerned, the blame lies squarely on Mayweather's side.

'All of this is on the MGM (Grand), I mean, if you think that the MGM is calling the shots here, you're totally mistaken. It's the man behind the curtain,' he told Boxing Scene, alluding to Mayweather's.
