Fight of the Century only on DStv’s SuperSport

The Fight of the Century between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao on May 2 will be broadcast live across Sub-Saharan Africa only on DStv’s SuperSport.
The entire tournament will be broadcast to DStv Premium bouquet subscribers in High Definition from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Unlike other international broadcasters, who are charging a premium for the super fight, the event is included in SuperSport’s Premium offering among its other blue ribbon content with no surcharge.
In the UK, Sky will charge customers up to £24.95, a record amount, to watch only the bout. In the U.S., to watch the fight alone is expected to cost viewers between $90 and $100 on pay-per-view.
The bout is a match-up between two of the greatest boxers of all time – Mayweather, the undefeated 11-time world champion and holder of the WBC and WBA titles, and Pacquiao, the reigning WBO welterweight champion and winner of 10 world titles.
“We are blessed if we have a true super-fight once every 20 years . . . this one measures up in every way,” said Motheo Matsau, Head of Marketing at SuperSport.
“As the home of boxing on the continent, we are thrilled to deliver such great content,” added Matsau. “Given the numbers swirling around and the lively talk in public, this event is shaping to be one of the major sporting occasions of the year.”
