The fight dubbed ‘The Money Fight’ will be broadcast only on DStv and will air live on SuperSport 2 and Maximo 1 in the early hours of Sunday, August 27.
In keeping with the tradition of showcasing super-fights, SuperSport has been in the forefront of delivering the most-anticipated events in the world of sports.
“This has been at the top of our list ever since the fight was announced,” said Gideon Khobane, chief executive of SuperSport.
“People continue to talk of the great fights we brought to viewers in the 1980s and beyond. But this is more than a fight, it’s a mega-event with layers of controversy, excitement and intrigue. We’ll also be putting together great background programming for our valued DStv customers around the fight.”
According to Mr Cecil Sunkwa Mills, General Manager of MultiChoice Ghana, DStv Premium customers will be treated to a ringside view when SuperSport crosses to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas at 1am (GMT) for the action-packed undercard, with the main bout expected to start after 3am.
“Unlike in the US where the fight will be available on pay-per-view in HD for $99.95, DStv customers will enjoy the event as part of the DStv Premium offering, at no extra cost” he said.
He said Non-DStv customers will be able to watch the fight on the internet TV service Showmax via Vodafone later in the day.
