Sky Sports has secured the UK and Ireland broadcasting rights for Floyd Mayweather’s polarizing boxing bout against UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor.
Sky announced the deal on Monday afternoon through a press release.
According to the release, the Sky Sports Box Office pay-per-view will be available to UK fans for £19.95 ($26.31 in U.S.), and to Irish fans for €24.95 ($29.47 in U.S.).
The cost of the PPV for UK and Irish fans represents a considerable drop from the U.S. price point, which stands at $89.95 for the standard definition broadcast and $99.95 for high definition.
The press release also states that Sky viewers will enjoy “a range of support programming” ahead of the highly anticipated boxing bout.
