Some websites have already begun selling tickets to the highly anticipated boxing match between Floyd “Money” Mayweather and UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor.
However, all of these tickets are fake. Tickets have yet to actually go on sale for the fight.
UFC President Dana White sent out a warning to fans looking to buy tickets. He shared a photo on his Instagram showing someone was scammed out of almost $5,000 trying to get tickets for the fight.
“A fan told me he bought tix already. I want ALL fans to know that we have not even come up with a price for tix yet and tix ARE NOT for sale yet,” White wrote on his Instagram page. “Don’t get (expletive) by These DIRTBALLS trying to sell tix already. When we announce tix on sale that’s when it’s real.”
Mayweather vs. McGregor will take place Saturday, August 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
