You often see super famous celebrities sitting ringside during big fights and no they don’t have to pay for their seats, they’re comped. Well you won’t be seeing them for Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio’s super fight unless they cough up the big bucks or do this…
via TMZ Sports:
If Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio or Rihanna want FREE seats to the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight — it’ll be no problem at all — as long as they’re down to be a walking billboard.
Tickets are in such high demand, fight promoters aren’t handing out comped front row seats to high profile stars like they usually do. Instead, they’ll be forced to pay up to $100k or more, just like normal people.
But we’ve learned there’s another option. If a celeb is willing to endorse companies by wearing logo-emblazoned gear at the fight — that company will eat the ticket cost.
For instance, we’re told VOCO Vodka & Coconut Water has already made such offers to Leo, RiRi, and Big Willie … in exchange for front row seats.
Well stars like Will, Leo and Riri can all afford fight tickets without having to be a billboard but I would definitely promote something if it meant free tickets.
