EVEN THESE DAYS, you could do a lot with €25. You could get a bus to Letterkenny, buy three bottles of fine wine or even take a taxi to and from the residence of someone who has paid to watch a big fight live from Las Vegas.
A fight like, say… Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao for instance.
When the biggest names in boxing finally get it on the night of Saturday May 2, Sky Sports will hold the rights and today they announced they’re willing to pass that right on to you, the viewer, for the knock-down price of €25.
Well, €24,95 to be exact, but that’s if you’re paying directly through the magic of your remote control. If you’re using a phone that’s gonna set you back another €5.
But it’s worth it to watch the fight of the decade from the comfort of your own settee, right?
Will you be watching the big fight?
