Sky Television looks set to win the rights to show the Mayweather v Pacquiao after beating competition from rival channel Box Nation. Reports say the Broadcast Outfit will likely be given the right to screen after agreeing to give promoters a percentage of the pay-per-view revenue.
The report goes on to speculate whether this could be the first fight to go over the £20 mark for the cost to the customer – the price to watch on American networks HBO and Showtime will be $99.95, which would bring the value of the fight over half a billion dollars.
Mayweather had said the world will stop when he takes on Pacquiao in a fight that has generated a lot of interests from both sponsors and fans.
