Saturday’s event at the O2 Arena is struggling to sell out
The London arena has a whopping 20,000 capacity.
And there are still thousands of tickets on sale for Mayweather’s first-ever UK fight.
The American legend, 46, has turned his hand to exhibition bouts after retiring with a perfect 50-0 record.
And next in line is reality TV star-turned-MMA fighter Chalmers, who found fame with Geordie Shore.
But it appears the public are not biting, with images of seats still available showing plenty of blue vacancies.
And desperate vendors have emailed customers with an “exclusive limited time offer” in an attempt to flog more tickets.
An email seen by SunSport shows that some people are being offered 20 per cent off all tickets for tomorrow night.
Regular prices currently range from around £141.50 to £1,038,50.

It spells good news for Newcastle star Jamaal Lascelles, who is hoping to get to the fight ahead of Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Man Utd.
Mayweather’s opponent Chalmers said: “My barber was saying that Jamaal Lascelles was on about getting tickets for the fight.
“I’m not sure he’ll be able to get tickets for the fight when he’s got a big cup final the next day.
“I’m hoping a lot of people will be tuning in.
“I know loads of lads are coming down without a ticket to be in London for the weekend.
“I would have bet my house this time last year, me fighting Floyd Mayweather and Newcastle being in a cup final because it would never have happened.
“It’s crazy, it’s big for Newcastle. I would 100 per cent take the Carabao Cup and sixth place in the league – any day of the week.”
Meanwhile, Mayweather has been preparing for the fight by holding a lavish birthday bash in central London.
He and stars including Jamie Foxx popped bottles of champagne.
And there was even a guest appearance from the World Cup’s sexiest fan Ivana Knoll.
