Mayweather vs Pacquiao Live Streaming PPV
Watch Mayweather vs Pacquia
Live Stream showtime PPV 2015.According to Floyd Mayweather the world
will stop when he steps into the ring with Manny Pacquiao on May 2.
Meanwhile the fans will be pinned to their screens after forking out
almost £25 to watch the "richest fight in history".The BBC reports that
the welterweight title fight will be "the most expensive boxing match in
UK pay-per-view history" with Sky Sports Box Office primed to make a
killing from broadcasting the bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The channel will charge customers up to £24.95 – depending on how it's
booked – for the privilege of watching American fighter Mayweather, 38,
defend his unbeaten record against his 36-year-old Filipino opponent,
that's three pounds more than viewers paid to see Carl Froch battle
George Groves last year, and ten more than the £14.95 Sky charged
customers in 2007 to watch Ricky Hatton fight Mayweather.
A record 1.2m viewers paid to see Hatton knocked out in the tenth round, a UK pay-per-view audience, and one that might be surpassed in six weeks even without the presence of a British fighter.
Despite the cost charged by Sky Sports, it pales into insignificance compared to the $99.95 [£65] American cable networks Showtime and HBO will reportedly bill its viewers.
"For whatever it's worth, the build-up over these years has certainly enhanced the fight," promoter Bob Arum told the New York Post. "Everybody knows about it now, even people who don't follow boxing."
Though tickets have yet to go on sale, the Post says only a small percentage will be available to the public with the majority snapped up by celebrities and corporate entertainment. It's expected ticket prices will range from $1,500 [£1,000] to $7,500 [£5,000] for a ringside seat at a fight that could earn Mayweather as much $180m. That's some $60m up on original estimates and considerably more than Pacquiao will receive. But as the Post explains, his purse is still "expected to be well over $100 million by the time everything is tallied up".

The prospect of a showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao appears as remote as ever after the American boxer played down reports that a deal had finally been reached for a $200m mega-fight in Las Vegas later this year.

The prospect of a showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao appears as remote as ever after the American boxer played down reports that a deal had finally been reached for a $200m mega-fight in Las Vegas later this year.
A clash between the two welterweights would be one of the biggest fights in history and has been on the cards for more than five years. But despite all the speculation and negotiation the two camps remain unable or unwilling to reach an agreement.
The latest setback came after Filipino superstar Pacquiao claimed he and Mayweather would meet on 2 May in at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather responded by insisting that Pacquiao was "not in a position to call the shots" as it was his company, Mayweather Promotions, that was in charge of making the fight.
"Do I want to fight Pacquiao? Absolutely. Are we negotiating? Absolutely. Has the fight been made? Not at all," he said.
Fight fans are getting used to hearing both camps talk the talk with no result. But Pacquiao is now 36 and Mayweather turns 38 in February so time is running out to arrange a bout.
