Sort of. Outright fakes are not that big of a thing because most vintage big fight tickets are pretty hard to reproduce convincingly due to the elaborate engraving. You can see it right away in hand, so it isn't a winning endeavor for scamsters. What is typically labeled a 'fake' is so labeled because it is sold as a regular issue ticket but is a phantom ticket for a fight that never happened (there is one Marciano ticket that shows up all the time), a fight that was changed and reticketed, a 'house' ticket meant for use at the venue for walk-ups that was never actually assigned or used, or a press/comp ticket.
