We're exactly one month away from The Fight, and while it'll
be virtually impossible for any real humans to buy tickets to the fight, us
lower born folk will be able to settle for record-breaking pay-per-view
packages. To watch Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao put on the fight we all
wanted five years ago, the Wall Street Journal reports PPV prices just under
triple-digits:
"Under the terms being discussed, the
fight will be sold for $99 for a high-definition feed and $89 for standard
definition, both of which are record prices. The previous high was $74.95 for
high-definition and $64.95 for standard."
The WSJ goes on to report that some boxing industry observers
think that the fight will rake in over $300 million in PPV sales. That would be
another record.
