Coverage of the long-awaited bout between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao kicks off from 11:00am (AEST) on Sunday, May 3, first broadcasting the event undercard.
The appropriately dubbed ‘fight of the century’, will take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas before a packed house and what is expected to be record-breaking pay-per-view television audiences.
What time will the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight start? The main event between ‘Money’ Mayweather and ‘Pac-Man’ Pacquiao is expected to take place following the ring walk at approximately 1:00pm (AEST). The fight will take place after that.
It could be later than that, and how long it takes for the fight to start once the two fighters are at the ring is guesswork. Anytime around 2pm is a conservative estimate. 12-round bouts like this generally last for around an hour, unless there’s a stoppage.
The only way to watch the fight in Australia will be via Foxtel’s premier pay-per-view channel, Main Event. Foxtel customers can order the fight for a one-off price of $59.95.
Foxtel IQ customers will be able to record the fight, however it will expire after a period of 24 hours from viewing (up to a maximum of 72 hours).
Of course, The Roar will be bringing you live coverage of the bout. You can follow a live blog of the bout from 11:00am (AEST) on Sunday.
