Floyd Mayweather sold fight tickets for £5 as fans snubbed Aaron Chalmers bout

Floyd Mayweather fight tickets were available for just £5 as fans stayed away from his exhibition with Aaron Chalmers.

The boxing legend made his first appearance in the UK last night when he touched gloves in his latest money-spinning event with Geordie Shore star Chalmers. Ticket sales were poor in the build-up to the event which was held at London's O2 arena, with many available online before fans were then offered a 20 per cent discount.

As the main event approached, there were huge swathes of empty seats all around the arena and they failed to fill up by the time both Mayweather and Chalmers made their ring walk. However this was not despite the best attempts of a ticketing promotional company who made tickets available for just £4.95 according to a report by Sky Sports.
