Floyd Mayweather Jnr versus Conor McGregor – the richest, most-hyped and over-the-top boxing fight in history – will be broadcast live on DStv’s SuperSport 2 and Maximo 1 across Africa in the early hours of Sunday, August 27.
SuperSport will cross to Las Vegas at 3am (CAT) for the action-packed undercard with the main bout expected to start after 5am (CAT).
The entire tournament will be broadcast to DStv Premium subscribers only in High Definition from the T-Mobile Arena.
Unlike in the US, where the fight will be available in HD for $99.95 (R1 300), the event is included in SuperSport’s Premium offering among its other blue riband content with no surcharge.
Billed as “The Money Fight”, the contest has drawn as much praise as it has criticism for the nature of the match-up: boxing’s most celebrated fighter of the last decade against Mixed Martial Arts’ most resplendent star who has yet to engage in a professional boxing fight.
Big fight fans can watch via their decoders or on DStv Now, online or the app.
Non-DStv customers will be able to watch the fight on the internet TV service Showmax later in the day.
Highlights of the fight will also be available on DStv’s Catch Up service in the hours after the event. Catch Up Plus, available on connected Exploras, will carry the full fight later in the day.
