Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect to pay for this weekend’s big fight and the various ways to watch it.
Pay-Per-View Pricing and Streaming Options
The main pay-per-view event this Saturday will set you back $79.99 if you’re ordering through traditional cable or satellite providers. However, I’ve noticed prices can vary slightly depending on how you choose to watch. As someone who’s ordered quite a few PPV fights, I can tell you there are several ways to potentially save some money.
Streaming Service Options
If you’re planning to stream the fight, you might find slightly better deals. Many streaming platforms are offering the fight for $74.99, a small but welcome $5 savings over traditional PPV. Some services even bundle the fight with a free month of their platform subscription, which can be a smart way to maximize your entertainment dollars.
Group Watch Savings
Here’s a money-saving tip I often share with fight fans: Consider splitting the cost with friends. If you get 4-5 people together, suddenly that $79.99 becomes much more manageable at $15-20 per person. Plus, watching big fights with a group always makes for a better experience anyway!
Additional Costs to Consider
Before you commit, keep in mind that some venues broadcasting the fight might charge a cover fee, typically ranging from $20-30 per person. If you’re planning to watch at a sports bar, I’d recommend calling ahead to confirm their pricing and potentially reserve a table – these events tend to fill up quickly.
What’s Included in the Price
Your PPV purchase includes the main event plus the entire undercard, which typically starts about 4-5 hours before the main event. You’ll get access to all the preliminary fights, pre-fight analysis, and post-fight interviews – essentially the complete fight night experience.
Ways to Watch
Remember to check multiple providers before purchasing. The fight will be available through:
– Cable/satellite providers
– Major streaming platforms
– Official boxing apps
– Select smart TV applications
Whether you choose to stream or go the traditional PPV route, make sure to test your setup well before fight night. There’s nothing worse than dealing with technical issues right as the main event is about to start – trust me, I’ve been there!
