No Pay-Per-View Price Set Yet For Mayweather-Pacquiao

by David P. Greisman

There had been plenty of rumors about how much higher the pay-per-view price would be for a May 2 mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, allowing both men to get even greater paychecks from a bout of such significance.

But for now, nothing has been confirmed.

“We are very early in the process. We haven’t even begun conversations with our distributors,” said Showtime’s Stephen Espinoza in a media conference call held Feb. 20, shortly after the fight was officially announced. “Once we get those agreements in place, we’ll be able to provide information such as the retail price.

 

“We’ve seen a lot of speculation already in the press about the suggested price, and that’s incorrect,” he said. “It has not yet been decided.”
