Movie stars and recording artists of all stripes are expecting a little special treatment for the May's mega-anticipated Manny Pacquaio and Floyd Mayweather boxing match, but they'll have to think again.

According to a new report, everyone who gets into the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 2 will be paying for the right to be there.
That's right: no comped tickets -- no matter who you are. According to Boxing Scene, Top Rank’s CEO Bob Arum is drawing the line.
“Nobody is going to get these tickets without paying for them," said Arum, who is in the Pacquiao camp. "The type of calls I’m getting, it’s unbelievable. I could spend the rest of the day on the phone and sell out the entire place. The biggest block [of tickets] is with MGM. When I get a call from a celebrity, or I assume when Mayweather gets a call from a celebrity, we immediately send them to MGM and tell them to fill the order."

According to Black Sports Online, the only way to now secure a comped ticket to this fight is to already have run up a $250,000 (!) credit line with the MGM.
The cheapest ticket for the fight is expected to be in the low four-figures.
