In the history of sports fandom, dream matchups have been the topic of much discussion, debate and hype. While some, like the debate between the 1960s Celtics and 1980s Lakers, will never be settled, current-day dream matchups, like LeBron versus Steph and Brady versus Manning, can be settled between the lines. The latest incarnation of that hype will take place when Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor step into the ring at T-Mobile Arena on August 26.

As with any dream matchup, ticket demand is high, and currently the cheapest ticket on the secondary market to see the fight is $1,500. While that makes it one of the most expensive "combat" events — mixed martial arts or boxing — that TicketIQ has tracked over the last eight years, demand isn't nearly as robust as promoters would have liked.
