After December 29th, the price goes up to $59.99, and after February 11, the price goes up to $69.99. It’s a very unique pricing structure as far as PPVs go.

As of right now, we don’t have any more details about this fight. We do know it’s an exhibition bout but we don’t know what kind of rules will be involved. As we saw recently with the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. PPV numbers, fans will watch an exhibition fight if the names are big enough. However, fans likely want to make sure the rules are more set in stone than the ones used in the Tyson vs. Jones Jr. fight.

Mayweather vs. Paul has the potential to be an absolute megafight considering the name value of both men. Mayweather is the biggest name in combat sports and Paul is one of the biggest celebrities right now competing in combat sports, so this looks like an opportunity for both men to connect on this project and make lots of money.
