Oscar de la Hoya against Floyd Mayweather promises to be boxing's biggest fight for years - and you can see it live on Sky Sports. We will be screening the WBC light-middleweight showdown from Las Vegas on Big Fight Special as the game's two biggest names go head-to-head. It has been rightly billed as The World Awaits and is expected to be the biggest non-heavyweight bout in history. It is already the sport's richest fight, with tickets at the MGM Grand selling out in three hours for a whopping $19million, surpassing the previous best of $16,860,300 set by Lennox Lewis-Evander Holyfield II in 1999. Pay-per-view television and closed-circuit cinema bookings in the United States are expected to smash all records, but Sky Sports subcribers can watch at no extra cost! And it promises to be a night not to be missed. Between them they have won no fewer than 14 different major world titles and boxed in a mind-blowing 45 championship bouts. De la Hoya has made history in becoming the first man to be a world champion at six different weights, while Mayweather will make it five himself if he wins this. He is considered the pound-for-pound number one right now, but has never truly won over the boxing public. He was booed in his last Las Vegas outing and as a result, says this will be his last fight. De la Hoya, in contrast, is not called the Golden Boy for nothing. Popular right across the board, he has come out of a year-long sabbatical for this and could also bow out after May 5, to concentrate solely on his Golden Boy Promotions. The pre-fight press conferences have seen Pretty Boy Floyd do the trash talking, while Oscar has shown rare signs of being unsettled - he says he has never wanted to hurt a person so much in his glittering 15-year career. And then of course there is Floyd Mayweather Snr. So long de la Hoya's trainer, he turned down a reported $2million to help plot his son's downfall. Not finished there, he has ended his long-standing feud with Floyd Jr and is now helping him prepare. The family feud, the multi-million dollar purse, the small matter of the WBC light-middleweight title, the legacies of two modern-day greats on the line and the whole world watching - and you can see it all on Sky Sports! ------------ Great news, delighted that such a huge fight isn't PPV.
