Can I get the fight on my cable or satellite TV service?
If you're in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland or Italy, you're out of luck. DAZN has exclusive access to the fight in those countries, so traditional boxing heavyweights like Showtime or ESPN will be out of luck here.
In the U.K., however, you’ll be able to watch the fight if you’re a Sky Sports customer. The event will be played live on Sky Sports Action and the Sky Go app available on smartphones and tablets. If you don't already subscribe to Sky Sports, you can purchase a one-off pass for the fight on NOW TV for £7.99 (about $10).
In Mexico and some other Latin American countries, you can watch the fight live on the Space cable and satellite channel. The Mexican TV Azteca and Televisa networks will be broadcasting the fight with a 15-minute delay.
What about pay-per-view?
There's no pay-per-view option for this fight in the U.S., Canada or the U.K., but it's being offered by Foxtel in Australia for AU$49.95.
Can I watch the fight in the U.K. or overseas?
As discussed, the event will be readily accessible in the U.K. via Sky Sports. It won't, however, be readily accessible in other countries around the world, which means you'll need a workaround like a VPN.
