When Do Floyd Mayweather vs Canelo Tickets Go on Sale?
There is no confirmed 2027 Floyd Mayweather–Canelo Álvarez bout, so no 2027 ticket sale date, launch time, or authorized platform has been announced. The original fight’s tickets went on sale through Ticketmaster on June 25, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT). That event is over; its original tickets cannot be bought now.
The most useful ticket-buying move is to check what event a listing actually names before you follow a countdown or enter payment details. Old articles, search results, and resale pages can look current even when they describe the 2013 fight. A price on a listing is not proof of a new bout, an official sale, or an original ticket.
Expected release window and timing cadence
There is no verified 2027 Mayweather–Canelo event or ticket-release window. As of November 9, 2026, recent reporting quotes Mayweather naming possible 2027 opponents, but Canelo is not among the four names in that report; it gives no fight date, venue, ticket platform, or on-sale time. A projected sale date would be guesswork, not a calendar date you can safely plan around. (boxingscene.com)
The historic sale has a precise date and time: Tuesday, June 25, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. ET, or 10:00 a.m. PT. The bout took place on September 14, 2013, at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Reports published June 26 said the tickets had sold out in less than 24 hours. That is why June 26 sometimes appears in search results: it was the sellout news date, not the original on-sale date. (15rounds.com)
There is no reliable annual rhythm to use for a possible 2027 rematch. One past sale cannot establish a repeat schedule, and tickets for a completed fight do not create a pattern for a new one. For now, treat any advertised date or countdown as unconfirmed unless an event promoter or venue confirms the bout and names its ticket seller.
Presales, VIP drops, and early access
No 2027 presale, fan registration, VIP package, cardholder window, or access code has been announced for a Mayweather–Canelo bout. There is no confirmed deadline to register or minimum spend to qualify. Claims that a code or membership unlocks early tickets should be treated with care until an official event page explains the terms.
For the 2013 fight, the available announcement said tickets would be sold through Ticketmaster and MGM Grand. It set a purchase cap of 12 tickets per person overall, with lower caps for some price levels. The announcement did not establish a 2027 presale system, and it cannot validate a code being sold or shared today. (15rounds.com)
If a new event is officially announced, look for the sale details on the promoter’s, venue’s, and authorized ticket seller’s own pages. Confirm the event name, date, time zone, presale rules, and ticket limit there. A message on social media can help you find an announcement, but the linked official sale page is where you should verify the buying terms.
Historical release and pricing trends
The 2013 bout is the only Mayweather–Canelo event in this ticket history, so there are not two to four Mayweather–Canelo sale cycles to compare. Its ticket range and fast sellout are documented; any claim about a repeated schedule, discount pattern, or predictable resale drop is not. The single cycle below is more useful than a false trend line.
| Cycle / year | Announcement date | On-sale date | Platform / venue | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mayweather–Canelo, 2013 | June 24, 2013 | June 25, 2013, 1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT | Ticketmaster and MGM Grand; MGM Grand Garden Arena | $350, before fees and taxes |
The original price levels were $350, $600, $1,000, $1,500, and $2,000, before service charges and taxes. The original announcement set a 12-ticket total limit per person, but capped purchases at two tickets at the $350 level and 10 tickets at each of the other listed levels. This is historical face value, not a price for a 2027 fight. (15rounds.com)
The public sale moved quickly. Contemporary reports said tickets sold out in less than 24 hours, with the $350 seats gone within minutes. That shows how demand played out for this particular 2013 event; it does not prove how quickly tickets for a different event would sell. (reviewjournal.com)
A practical purchasing playbook
There is no 2027 Mayweather–Canelo checkout to prepare for yet. Still, you can use a simple process to separate real event details from stale listings and be ready if an authorized announcement appears.
Before any announced sale
First, identify the exact event. Check that the listing names both fighters, the year, the venue, and the event date. Do not assume a search result labeled “Mayweather vs. Canelo tickets” refers to a future bout. The original match took place on September 14, 2013. (en.wikipedia.org)
Next, verify the authorized seller through the event promoter or venue. If a listing sends you to a reseller, treat it as resale unless the official event page says otherwise. Compare the total checkout amount, not just the displayed seat price, and read the delivery and refund terms before paying.
For a future Ticketmaster sale, the company advises buyers to update their account details and payment method in advance. If that event uses a queue, Ticketmaster says to join the waiting room before the sale, use one device and one browser, and avoid refreshing while in line. Queue access does not guarantee tickets. These are general platform instructions, not confirmation that a 2027 boxing event will use Ticketmaster. (help.ticketmaster.com)
On the day of a confirmed drop
Use the sale link provided by the official event page. Check the listed time zone and set a reminder that includes it; 1:00 p.m. ET and 1:00 p.m. PT are three hours apart. If a queue opens, follow the seller’s instructions rather than opening extra sessions to try to gain an advantage. Ticketmaster says a buyer who joins after the sale begins may be placed at the back of the line, and its queue page can hold a buyer’s turn for 10 minutes. (help.ticketmaster.com)
Before checkout, confirm the event date and seat location again. Review the complete total, including fees, and check that the ticket count stays within the posted limit. Do not rely on an old 2013 cap for a new event: organizers can set new limits, and Ticketmaster says event limits are shown during the buying process. (help.ticketmaster.com)
After a primary sale
If an official sale ends without tickets, return to the event’s authorized page to see whether the organizer announces another release. Do not assume an apparent resale listing is a new primary drop. For a completed event like the 2013 bout, there can be no valid restock of admission tickets for entry to a future show; a current listing may concern memorabilia, an unrelated event, or a misleading page.
Resale markets and price changes
There is no meaningful resale-buying window for admission to the 2013 Mayweather–Canelo fight today because the fight has already happened. A modern asking price cannot be treated as current face value, and no price curve for an unannounced 2027 matchup can be calculated from that old event alone.
In 2013, resale activity appeared quickly after the primary sale. A June 27 report described StubHub listings beginning at $930, while later reporting cited an average secondary-market price of $2,028. Those are historical snapshots from 2013, not today’s prices or reliable forecasts for another fight. (arizonasports.com)
If a future event is confirmed and you consider resale, compare the seller, exact seat, total price, delivery method, and refund terms before buying. Use the resale platform’s own checkout and transfer system. Ticketmaster notes that transfer availability depends on the event organizer; when a transfer is accepted through its system, the recipient receives a new barcode and the sender’s ticket is no longer valid. (help.ticketmaster.com)
Save the listing, checkout total, order confirmation, and stated terms. If a seller asks you to pay outside the platform or promises a presale code as a substitute for an actual event listing, stop and verify the offer independently. A screenshot or a seller’s claim does not establish that a ticket exists or will be accepted at a venue.
How to check a listing and avoid misidentified tickets
A valid ticket offer should match a real, dated event. Start by looking for an official announcement from the promoter or venue and follow it to the named ticket seller. If no such announcement exists, there is no verified primary sale to join, even if a reseller page displays seats, a price, or a timer.
Then read the listing closely. Check whether it is for the original September 14, 2013, fight, a different Mayweather event, memorabilia, or a proposed future matchup. A title that includes both fighter names is not enough. Match the date, venue, event description, and ticket type against an official page.
If the listing claims “official tickets” for a 2027 Mayweather–Canelo bout, ask which promoter announced it and which venue hosts it. Find those details independently rather than using only the seller’s link. If you cannot verify the event and its authorized seller, do not treat the offer as an official ticket sale.
Frequently asked questions
When do 2027 Mayweather–Canelo tickets go on sale?
No 2027 ticket-sale date or launch time has been announced as of November 9, 2026. Recent reporting quotes Mayweather discussing possible 2027 opponents, but does not announce a Canelo bout or ticket seller. Any exact 2027 date or presale deadline presented without an official event announcement is unverified. (boxingscene.com)
What date did tickets for the original fight go on sale?
The original tickets went on sale Tuesday, June 25, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. ET, or 10:00 a.m. PT, through Ticketmaster and MGM Grand. June 26 reports covered the sellout announced after the sale, which is why that date can appear in search results. (15rounds.com)
Can I still buy primary tickets to the 2013 fight?
No. The fight took place on September 14, 2013, at MGM Grand Garden Arena, and its original public sale is long closed. A listing now is not a current primary sale for that completed bout. Check carefully whether it refers to memorabilia, another event, or resale. (en.wikipedia.org)
What was the original starting ticket price?
The lowest listed original ticket price was $350 before service charges and taxes. Other listed levels were $600, $1,000, $1,500, and $2,000. Those numbers describe the 2013 sale only; they do not set the price of any future Mayweather or Canelo event. (15rounds.com)
Was there a presale code for the 2027 fight?
No verified presale code, registration deadline, cardholder offer, or VIP access window has been announced for a 2027 Mayweather–Canelo fight. Do not pay for a code based on a seller’s claim. Wait for an official event announcement that names the promoter, venue, ticket seller, and sale terms.
Why do some pages say tickets went on sale June 26, 2013?
June 25 was the announced sale date. June 26 was when reports said the tickets had sold out in less than 24 hours. The difference is easy to miss when search results show the publication date rather than the actual sale date. (15rounds.com)
How many tickets could one person buy in 2013?
The announced limit was 12 tickets per person overall. Buyers could purchase no more than two at the $350 price level and no more than 10 at each of the $600, $1,000, $1,500, and $2,000 levels. Those were the historic rules, not limits for a future event. (15rounds.com)
How can I tell whether a current listing is resale?
Check the official event page first. If it names no 2027 bout or authorized ticket seller, a third-party listing is not evidence of a primary sale. On any real event listing, review the seller, seat location, full checkout total, delivery method, and refund terms before paying.
Should I expect resale prices to fall before a future fight?
There is no verified 2027 fight or ticket market to track, so a price-drop schedule would be speculation. The 2013 resale reports are historical snapshots, not a forecast. If a new event is announced, compare current listings over time and judge them against the official price and the total fees. (arizonasports.com)
