Mayweather wants £100 PPV for UK

Makes Statement0 Comments

Hearn, who is Anthony Joshua’s promoter, talks about speculation that the PPV cost for the McGregor-Mayweather fight could be far higher than previous events.

Mayweather wants the price to be £100.

But Hearn doesn’t think that Sky would drastically increase its pricing point.

The price will be within the same realms as it always has. I don’t set the price, but my gut feeling is £19.95. If it went to £24.95… I can’t see it, it wouldn’t be my decision. Sky won’t want to go beyond £19.95. That is their price point.

Hearn: McGregor-Mayweather ‘the biggest boxing mismatch ever’

Makes Statement0 Comments

Matchroom promoter Hearn says McGregor is mismatched to Mayweather in boxing.

McGregor is one of the world’s best MMA fighters but I’ve got kids at York Hall who would beat him hands down in a boxing match. And he’s fighting Floyd Mayweather? That’s the biggest boxing mismatch ever. But if they need a promoter, give me a call. I’d snap it up.
