After months of speculation Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are going head-to-head in Las Vegas on August 26.
The undefeated boxer taking on the dual-weight UFC champion McGregor is a mega-fight set to generate mega-bucks for the fighters.
Pay-per-view TV revenue and ticket sales will rake in an estimated tens of millions of pounds for Mayweather and McGregor.
But how will those outside their sizeable entourages get to see the fight at T-Mobile Arena?
One thing that won't sell out is of course the PPV, which is being controlled by Showtime Sports in the US.

While the prices are yet to be set, the so-called 'Fight of the Century' between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is a good guide.
US viewers were charged $99.95 for the pleasure of watching Mayweather extend his unbeaten record, while in the UK it cost £19.95 (€24.95 in Ireland).
Mayweather vs McGregor will almost certainly cost more for viewers on either Sky Sports Box Office or BT Sport, the major contenders for the deal.

This fight will be held at the T-Mobile Arena, a 20,000-capacity venue when configured for fighting which hosted Canelo Alvarez vs Amir Khan last year and UFC 200.
This sees Mayweather move from the MGM Grand Garden Arena, where his last 12 fights were held, which can hold just under 3,000 less fans.

Tickets for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, which took pre-fight hype to a new level, cost between $1,500 (£1,180) and $7,500 (£5,890) and sold out in a flash.
They were especially at a premium when a large portion were snapped up or given to promoters' connections, sponsors and celebrities.
Of course seats made their way to re-sale websites, with the most expensive ringside seat selling for a reported $128,705 (£85,348).
