Floyd-Conor bout $100 for PPV

Published 5:45 am Wednesday, July 12, 2017

The much-hyped Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. boxing match will cost nearly a cool $100 if you want to watch it in high definition.

The Los Angeles Times reported Monday that the bout between the former two-division UFC champion McGregor and the undefeated boxing star Mayweather will be $89.95 on pay-per-view, with an extra $10 to watch in HD.

That was the same price as Mayweather’s 2015 fight against Manny Pacquiao, which was panned by critics.

McGregor, an Irish superstar who has never boxed competitively, is 21-3 as a mixed martial artist. Mayweather (49-0) can break Rocky Marciano’s undefeated career record with a win in the Aug. 26 fight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The fighters begin a whirlwind promotional tour Tuesday at Staples Center in Los Angeles, to be followed by stops in Toronto, New York and London.
