Tickets cost $40-$60 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s a frickin' boss. Sure, he won a 2012 Espy for Best Fighter, among other accolades, and is one of the highest paid athletes, but the Quintuple Champion was also the culprit for Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez's first career loss. And like a boss, we're pretty sure Money will be celebrating with endless Patrón and Dom.

Between all that music writing and traveling on Gareth Emery's sched, he somehow ends up in the Magic City. No wonder he wants us to "Meet [Him] In Miami."
