Big-ticket boxing battles are typically a late night affair, particularly here in the UK. A considerable undercard is likely to precede unbeaten Floyd Mayweather and Irish Mixed Martial Arts fighter Conor McGregor going into the ring, so boxing enthusiasts in Britain, Ireland, and Europe must prepare to keep up well into the wee hours of Sunday August 23.
Alternatively, if you're feeling flush and fancy heading out to the Strip to capture the action live, there were still some (not inexpensive) tickets offered by means of Ticketmaster United States sometimes of publication.
Ticketing information exposes that the Mayweather vs McGregor event is arranged to begin at 3pm local time-- though that's yet to be validated by broadcasters. Las Vegas is in America's Pacific Time Zone, so it's eight hours behind the UK throughout the summer season, indicating things should kick-off around 11pm BST.
Consider a couple of hours of undercard bouts and the huge battle isn't most likely to start in the UK and Europe till the early hours of Sunday, August 23-- 1-2am UK time would most likely be the earliest, though some pundits are saying it may be as late/early as 4am here.
Sky recently verified that it would be airing the Mayweather vs McGregor fight in the UK on its pay-per-view Sky Box Office service, having beat BT to the rights for the ₤ 500 million occasion.
It also revealed-- much to the surprise of some fans, who were expecting it to cost even more-- that the fight will be offered to expect just ₤ 19.95. To put that into point of view, Showtime PPV in the States will be charging up to $100 (~ ₤ 75) for the fight. It'll be offered in Ireland for the similarly economical cost of EUR24.95.
