Mayweather will face Moore in a ring located on the helipad of the ultra-luxurious Burj Al Arab Jumeirah hotel in Dubai. Moreover, the helipad ring for the fight is said to be situated  700 ft above the ground.

Global Events recently released an animated video showcasing the ring design and the seating arrangements.
