If you're planning to enjoy the upcoming Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao showdown from the comfort of your own home, it's not going to come cheap.
The much-anticipated bout at the MGM Grand on May 2 will cost a record-high $89.95 with the HD version costing up to $10 more, HBO and Showtime confirmed to Darren Rovell of ESPN.com.
The price is almost 40 percent above the previous high which was set by Mayweather's fight against Canelo Alvarez in September 2013. The fight is also expected to break the pay-per-view revenue record of $152 million set by the Mayweather-Alvarez fight and most buys set by Mayweather's fight against Oscar De La Hoya in 2007.
