Canelo vs Berlanga: How much do tickets cost for the fight in Las Vegas?

Mexican boxing, steps into the ring once again, this time against a younger, hungrier challenger - Edgar Berlanga, a Puerto Rican with dynamite in his fists. The stakes? Canelo’s trio of belts at 168 pounds - the WBC, WBO, and WBA titles. The venue? None other than the T-Mobile Arena, with the fight serving as a centerpiece for the Mexican Independence Day festivities.

Canelo’s been around the block. A champion in four weight divisions, he’s faced legends and dispatched pretenders. It only took him 11 months to become the first undisputed Mexican champion. But the wear and tear of over 60 fights start to show, even for someone as well-seasoned as Alvarez. At 34, he’s not the same bruiser who could effortlessly juggle a full calendar of fights. His ambitions hit a bit of a snag recently when he lost his IBF belt for refusing to take on William Scull, the mandatory challenger. The truth is, this might be Canelo’s last shot at maintaining a unified title.

Then there’s Berlanga. Seven years younger and carrying the swagger of a man who knows he’s got something dangerous in his hands. Out of his 22 fights, 17 have ended in knockouts. And he’s made no secret of his intentions: he wants to do something that no one has done before - knock out Canelo. He’s got the youth, the power, and that unpredictable hunger. But here’s the thing: he’s never danced on this kind of stage before. He’s not just facing Canelo; he’s facing the pressure of Las Vegas under the brightest lights, and that’s an opponent all its own.

Now, if you’re thinking of tuning in, you’ll need to dig deep into your pockets. The pay-per-view will set you back a hefty $90, whether you catch it on DAZN or Amazon Prime. Some say it’s a bit steep, given Berlanga’s inexperience at this level, but hey, it’s Canelo - fans pay for the name as much as the fight. If you’re lucky enough to snag a ticket in the nosebleeds, you’ll be out about $330. But if you’re feeling flush, ringside seats will cost you a staggering $7,300. The mid-range tickets aren’t cheap either; expect to drop $500 to $1,200 for decent seats.

As for the timeline, the action kicks off at 8 p.m. ET, with the main event scheduled around 11 p.m. You’ll need to stream it, though - there’s no free broadcast on TV. If you’re used to catching big fights on traditional networks, well, not this time. You’ll be glued to your app, same as everyone else.

Canelo’s fought all over the world and faced every challenge thrown at him. But every fighter’s got an expiration date, and the question on everyone’s mind is: has Canelo’s time finally come? Berlanga’s banking on it. It’s the classic old lion versus young lion story, and in the end, it’s going to come down to more than just power or skill - it’s about whether Berlanga can rise to the moment, or if Canelo can remind us why he’s one of the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves.

One thing’s for sure, though - Vegas will be buzzing, and the world will be watching.
