This is the real deal. I've run across a few of these over the years -- some with the punch holes, some without. The "Golden Circle" was limited VIP ringside seating, and some of the seats were complimentary, courtesy of co-promoter Chris Dundee. My understanding is that the "comped" tickets were punched, while those that were sold for the then-astronomical price of $250 were not. This example has some condition issues, but would still fetch $400 -$600 in the right auction. NRMT examples are in the $800-$900 range.
