Fight fans should start saving money ahead of the Conor MgGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather boxing match.
Showtime has set the pay-per-view price for the Aug. 26 megafight at $89.95 and $99.95 for high-definition viewing, The Los Angeles Times’ Lance Pugmire reported on Twitter and USA TODAY’s A.J. Perez confirmed through a network spokesperson.
The @FloydMayweather @TheNotoriousMMA pay per view price will be $89.95 — same as the Pacquiao fight – $10 more for HD.

The 2015 bout was the most expensive pay-per-view fight in history.
UFC fans normally pay $59.99 for pay-per-view events. It’s safe to assume many will fork over an extra $30 or $40 to watch a superstar from their sport box one of the all-time great pugilists.
