UFC model Arianny Celeste looking for a ticket to megafight

The UFC’s most visible model, Arianny Celeste, told me she’s planning to catch the Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao fight this weekend.

But she needs a ticket. So I decided to run this four-alarm public service announcement that, alert, alert, Arianny Celeste is in need of a ticket.

“Hopefully, I can find some tickets, but it’s a very sold-out fight, and it’s extremely expensive,” she said. “Maybe I can make my way to the fight. If not, I’m definitely going to watch somewhere.”

Since Celeste is a famous model who has extra Vegas juice since she’s from here, I reminded her of her power.

“I’m pretty sure,” I told Celeste, “if you put up on social media that for $100,000, you’ll go accompany anybody, they would pay you to go with them. I’m pretty sure. Pretty sure.”

“We’ll see,” she said cautiously, while giggling at, I believe, what a ridiculous statement I was making.

She’s rooting for Pac.

“I’ve met Pacquiao several times. I worked at an event for him at his documentary,” she said. “He’s extremely cool, very nice, a down-to-earth guy. I’m really hoping he wins, but I don’t know if he will.”

She’s not a Mayweather hater.

“I like Floyd Mayweather. He’s an amazingly talented athlete. But I don’t know. I think he needs to be just a tiny bit more humble,” she said.

I told her I also usually root for more humble people, but sometimes when athletes have grandeur it’s not a delusion, it’s because they’re the best.

“Yeah,” she said, “if you know that you got it, sometimes you gotta flaunt it.”

You can actually hang out with Celeste for free and take photos with her at Tacos & Tequila in the Luxor for her 6 to 9 p.m. “Sexy de Mayo” on Cinco de Mayo (May 5).
