(FEB 17) LAS VEGAS – Select MGM MIRAGE properties will host a total of
more than 20,000 closed circuit viewing seats in conjunction with the
upcoming super fight between the ‘Golden Boy’ Oscar De La Hoya and
‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd Mayweather. The championship card scheduled for
Saturday, May 5 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena will be distributed by
HBO-Pay-Per-View and the live telecast will begin at 6 p.m. PST.
MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, The Mirage, Treasure Island, Luxor, Monte Carlo
and Circus Circus will televise the most highly-anticipated boxing event
in history and will open their doors for guests at 5 p.m. Tickets for
the closed circuit viewing telecast are priced at $50, not including

The fight features two former United States Olympians with a combined 14
world championship belts, unquestioned talent and charisma not seen
since the days of Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard. This will be more
than a fight; this will be a spectacle that transcends a mere boxing
event. Tickets for the fight sold out in three hours establishing a live

$16,860,300 for the November 13, 1999 Lennox Lewis vs. Evander Holyfield
