t’s the fight of the century! The most exclusive sporting event ever to be held! Anticipation for this Saturday’s Mayweather vs. Pacquiao boxing match has reached well past hype to record levels of fever pitch, never mind that many sports analysts predict a dud.
The action is expected to begin Saturday at about 11 p.m. EDT at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Here are your options for watching what may or may not be the greatest boxing match of all time:
In person: For the (private) jet set only
If you’ve already shelled out for a trip to Las Vegas or your private jet is fueled and ready to go, you’ll be happy to know there are plenty of tickets available on resale sites. Get ready for the sticker shock: Prices even for the worst seats are upward of $3,500. On StubHub, the highest priced ticket as of 4:30 p.m. ET was one ringside seat going for $351,005.25. A few rows back, you can get in for $117,005.25.
In your home: Pay-per-group
Most people will opt to watch from the comfort of their own home on pay-per-view: about $100 to watch in high definition and $90 in standard definition. Find a few friends or family members to go in on the cost together, and you’re looking at the most reasonable way to tune in. Depending on your cable provider, you can order over the phone, online or with your remote. The fight is expected to generate at least 3 million pay-per-view buys.
