So, it's expected to be the largest pay per view event in the history of the world.

 

https://www.forbes.c...g/#254de1513d00

 

According to Keith Idec of Boxing Scene, Mayweather is expected to make at least $100 million but his take could balloon to four times that much if the event hits all of its monetary metrics. McGregor will make at least $75 million, which is five times as much as he's made from any UFC event.

 

McGregor has made millions from endorsement and other revenue, but he's never made this kind of money simply for fighting. His take could grow exponentially as well if the event is as big of a success as it's pacing to be.

 

Boxing Kingdom estimates the purses could be as high as $400 million for Mayweather and $127 million for McGregor.

In Victoria, a couple Boston Pizzas will have it, plus:

 

  • Red Fox Pub at the Red Lion
  • Yates Street Taphouse - their first ever PPV - $20 advance tickets, includes beer, no reserved seating, doors at 5pm, tickets available now
  • Strathcona:  $15 advance for Games Room (full food menu), $10 advance for Distrikt Nightclub (limited food menu) - tickets go on Sale August 1 at 11am, front desk

 

I'll add more as I find them...

I will not make the mistake of buying another Mayweather fight on PPV. I would watch at a bar, but we will be on our cruise then. Not sure if they will show the fight on board or not, but I'm guessing no.

What I find odd is there appears to be no way to buy the option to stream online to a mobile device - at any price.  They must be scared that a single person will take that feed and share it somehow.  That's too bad, it really goes counter to the gains we've made in mobile access to streaming.

What really pissed me off about the Mayweather / Pacquiao card was that there were only two other fights, which were both awful. I was expecting Mayweather to be boring, but you'd think they could team it up with at least one other decent bout. Nope.

They are playing this at Cineplex Silvercity Tillicum as well.  Not sure of the cost.

Movie theatres around the U.S. will show the Aug. 26 fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor.

 

The bout between the undefeated boxer and the Irish UFC champion will cost $99.95 on high-definition pay-per-view TV. Tickets for the fight at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena will range from $500 to $10,000 — and there aren’t many $500 seats.

 

Meanwhile, movie theatre tickets for the fighting spectacle of the year are being sold at $40 per adult in advance. A complete list of participating theatres can be found at http://www.FathomEvents.com .

 

Fathom Events and Mayweather Promotions announced the partnership on Tuesday.

I'm trying to find Cineplex pricing...

 

EDIT:  $41.95 CDN

I made the same mistake of paying to watch Mayweather on PPV.

Hope he gets his ass kicked.

That seems odd with this one only being $99CDN.

We are also getting a bit of a deal too, as this one is $99US for US cable subscribers.
