For those who believe MMA has killed off boxing, think again.

The upcoming Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather “Fight of the Century” in Las Vegas is the hottest ticket in town.

That’s an understatement. It’s the hottest ticket since Celine Dion’s cage-match with Siegfried and Roy back in ’03.

A-list celebs (you know, the DiCaprios and Rihannas of the world) aren’t getting comped tickets to May-Pac like they do to other, lesser bouts. The stars are being treated like everyday people, having to [shudder] buy their own tickets.

There are ways around that, though, if you’re willing to part with something else of value – namely your pride, self-respect, and/or body (usually all three).

For instance, if Justin Bieber would like to see the bout live without parting with $100 K of his hard-earned cash … excuse me … without parting with $100 K of his earned cash, he could sport a hat emblazoned with the logo of a crappy tequila and the crappy tequila company would then comp his ticket.

Or if Will Smith wants to get jiggy at ringside, he could sell his torso space to, I don’t know, a jig-maker.

With no shortage of celebs eager to get tickets to the super-fight, let’s make some educated guesses on what they’re going to do for their seats.

  • Harry Styles: name Zayn Malik’s replacement “VOCO Vodka” – 2/1
  • Amber Rose: have Palm Breeze product placement in her next sex tape – 3/1
  • Kevin Love: wear a Coconut Water sling for the remainder of the playoffs – 5/1
  • Jameis Winston: declare that he plays for “Team Bud Light” at the NFL Draft podium – 8/1
  • Bruce Jenner: restore his Adam’s apple and add an Angry Orchard Hard Cider tattoo – 10/1
  • Paris Hilton: replace Tinkerbell with the Aflac Duck – 12/1
  • A-Rod: dedicate his 660th homerun to Five-Hour Energy Drink – 14/1
  • Duchess Kate and Prince William: sell naming rights of their new baby to Trojan condoms – 22/1
