A bag of air from Mayweather v Pacquiao at MGM Grand is for sale on eBay

What a steal

Patrick McCarry

For those of you that thought Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquaio was a bag of hot air, this could be right up your street.

12 rounds of very little rock ’em and a tiny bit of sock ’em boxing at the MGM Grand last Saturday.

Mayweather was rarely troubled by Pac-Man, torn rotator cuff or not, and was a unanimous winner on points.

One punter, who either paid a shed-load of $$$$’s to see the fight in Las Vegas or was there on a sponsor’s whim, has decided to make some green. And, as Barry Norman was once accused of quipping, why not?

In a world of Burger King kings, Hublot shout-outs and mobile phone selfies on ring-walks, why not sell a bag of air captured in the arena on fight night?

That is exactly what one St Louis, Missouri punter is doing on eBay.

They have packaged a healthy looking bag of air, which they list as ‘used’, from the arena.

The latest bid is $1.04 but a war could erupt at any moment.
