After all, the combat-sports executive can’t understand why anyone would consider sales that have already reached $60 million – and he expects will easily surpass Mayweather’s previous box-office record of $72 million – a bad thing. Sure, tickets are pricy for the Aug. 26 fight, where UFC lightweight champion McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) crosses over to fight boxing great Floyd Mayweather (49-0 boxing) in 12-round boxing bout at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Want to see the pay-per-view in person? You’re going to dish out anywhere from $500 to $10,000 per seat
