How To Watch Manny Pacquiao Vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight: Complete List Of How To Watch By Country, Including Where To Watch For Free


Boxing fans who want to watch the Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight around the globe will have plenty of options, with providers in just about every nation offering a way to watch with prices ranging from nothing to $100.

The bout is one of most highly anticipated matches in decades, a meeting that seemed at many points would never happen. Pacquiao and Mayweather had entered negotiations a few times in the past years, but the process always ended up being derailed and the fight called off.

But this time, the two camps were determined to come together, and a series of in-person meetings between Mayweather and Pacquiao helped bring it together.

The two are now set to meet on Saturday in Las Vegas, with start time expected to be around 11:30 p.m.

So, just how do you watch the Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight? To start, watching online will be nearly impossible, with both HBO and Showtime flexing their legal muscle to shut down illegal live streaming sites.

There still is one option for live streaming video of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight, and it happens to be free (at least, sort of free). DISH is offering a promotion that allows new subscribers to get the pay-per-view fight for free — as long as they sign a 24-month contract with DISH.

It’s really only a deal that makes sense to people planning on buying DISH anyway, but it does at least allow them to watch the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight live online through the provider’s Watch TV Online function.
