SkySports got the rights to broadcast the bout in the UK and Republic of Ireland. They have now revealed the PPV price will start at £16.95 for all UK fans and €19.95 for the Republic of Ireland. However, this will increase to £21.95 or €24.95 plus an additional £2 fee if booked through an agent after midnight of June 5.

It may surprise some fans that SkySports will air a Floyd Mayweather bout for less than £20. However, the event will start at midnight on June 7 for fans in the UK, and the main event will start in the early hours of Monday morning. Therefore, this could have affected the pricing.

In addition, those who miss the live-action can relive it the next morning as SkySports confirmed they would show a full duration repeat on Monday, June 7 at 10 AM.
