Sky Sports Box Office will show the hugely anticipated fight between undefeated former world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather and current UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor.
The event sees the two worlds of professional boxing and UFC colliding at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on 26 August, and will be available to Sky customers on Sky Sports Box Office for €24.95.
There had been concerns among those planning to watch the fight on this side of the world that they could be charged up to €100 to watch the PPV, but thankfully they were way wide of the mark.
Speaking after the announcement, Sky Sports' head of boxing Adam Smith expressed his delight at having secured what will be a ridiculously popular event.
This is surely one of the most anticipated and intriguing contests we’ve ever seen on Sky Sports Box Office. Can the charismatic Conor McGregor, so formidable in the octagon, make the switch to the ring and create history? What will it mean for Mayweather’s legacy – one of the greatest fighters of all time but coming out of retirement and facing a man at the very top of his game? It’s set to be a huge night in Las Vegas – one you won’t want to miss.
The cost of the event will be €24.95 (£19.95 in the UK) across all forms of booking up until midnight Friday 25 August. From then on the cost will still be €24.95 (£19.95 in the UK) if bookings are made via remote control and online, but will cost €29.95 (£24.95 in the UK) if booked via the phone.
