Mayweather-McGregor PPV Will Cost $99.95 to Watch in HD

By Keith Idec

The Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Conor McGregor fight will indeed cost just about $100 to watch in HD.

The Los Angeles Times’ Lance Pugmire first reported Monday that Showtime Pay-Per-View has set the price for Mayweather-McGregor at $89.95 to view in SD and $99.95 to watch in HD. That was the expected pay-per-view price since the fight was officially announced June 14 due to the intense interest in the August 26 bout in Las Vegas.

The price is the same that HBO Sports and Showtime Sports charged for the joint telecast of the Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao welterweight title fight in May 2015. That long-awaited bout drew a record of roughly 4.6 million buys and helped the overall revenue from the event to exceed $600 million.

Mayweather-Pacquiao drew criticism from hardcore and casual boxing fans alike because it lacked action, but it was a bout boxing fans had wanted to see for more than five years. Mayweather-McGregor generally is considered a mismatch because Las Vegas’ Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs), despite that he is 40 years old and hasn’t fought in nearly two years, retired as the best boxer, pound-for-pound, in the world.

McGregor, meanwhile, is the one of mixed martial arts’ best fighters, but has never participated in a professional boxing match. The trash-talking Irish southpaw is 21-3 in MMA, including 18 knockouts.

The four-day, four-city press tour to promote Mayweather-McGregor is set to begin Tuesday afternoon at Staples Center in Los Angeles. It’ll continue Wednesday at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto and Thursday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, before ending Friday at Wembley Arena in London.

Tickets to the 12-round, 154-pound fight have not gone on sale, in part because T-Mobile Arena hasn’t been officially announced as the venue due to a scheduling conflict.

Pacquiao-Horn Investigation: WBO Backs Scores, Explains Why

By World Boxing Organization

The Jeff Horn vs. Manny Pacquiao bout results were controversial causing disputes amongst fans. For this reason, transparency is so important.

The WBO does not have power to reverse the Judges decision based on discretion as it can only be revoked when fraud or a violation of Law has occurred, which is not relevant in this case.

Based on this, five (5) anonymous, competent Judges from different countries were asked to watch the bout without sound. Then, the independent results were tabulated to ascertain clearly the rounds each fighter won using an average scale based on 60, 80 and 100 percent.

To determine the winner of each round, 3 out of the 5 officials have to be in agreement.

Upon the analysis, the findings stated that Pacquiao won the 3rd, the 8th and 9th by 100%; the 5th round was won by 80%; and the 11th round by 60%. Horn won the 1st, 6th and 12th rounds by 100%; rounds 2nd, 4th, and 7th by 80%; and then, the 10th round by 60%.

From the results, it can be established that Pacquiao won 5 rounds while Horn won 7 rounds.

The next step of the analysis was to combine the Independent Judges with the Bout Judges to find the percentage agreement by round. Upon doing this analysis, the findings of the Judges stated that Pacquiao won the 3rd and 9th by 100%; the 8th round was won by 87.5%; no rounds were won by 75%; the 5th round by 62.5%; and the 10th and 11th were even rounds.

On the other hand, the Judges findings stated that Horn won the 1st, 6th, and 12th rounds by 100%; by 87.5%, he won the 4th and the 7th; the 2nd was won by 75%; none were won by 62.5%; and the even rounds were the 10th and the 11th.

The analytical method utilized was also used in the decision of Algieri-Provodnikov and Paquiao-Bradley.

Based on this analysis, Jeff Horn was the winner of the bout.

Jeff Horn Smiles at Teddy Atlas After WBO Hands Down Ruling

WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn is smiling from ear to ear after the WBO finished their investigation regarding the recent fight with Manny Pacquiao.

Veteran ESPN announcer Teddy Atlas claimed before the fight two weeks ago that Horn had 'no chance' of winning and derided his performance as the match went on at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia.

After the former schoolteacher was declared the winner, the 60-year-old shoved a microphone in his face declaring: 'Congratulations, I thought you lost.'

Horn's controversial victory was vindicated on Tuesday after the World Boxing Organisation had five judges re-score the fight - and ruled in his favour.

According to Horn and his promoter Duco Events, Atlas' commentary was a big factor in fan outrage and convinced Pacquiao and the Philippines Government to put pressure on the WBO to review the result.

Now a furious Horn insists he won't even talk to the broadcaster at Thursday's ESPN awards in Los Angeles.

"I have nothing to say to Teddy Atlas," Horn told the Courier Mail. "I’m not a fan anymore. He kind of annoyed me a little bit after the fight. I’m on a high after winning and he’s tried to drag me down straight away. It’s disappointing.

"[They] brushed me and said that they definitely thought I lost the fight. Especially straight after the fight, when Teddy has said to me, "Ah, you lost that fight. That’s what I think. When I was on my high as well, so he’s bringing me down straight away."

Horn called the WBO's decision a 'big relief' that allowed him to go to the U.S. for the ESPN awards with confidence.

"To win the fight, and to think that I’ve won the fight and then for everyone to go after you and say 'you didn’t win the fight'... it’s frustrating but then to have this finally makes it a bit easier to go over to the US," he told Fox Sports.

Ariel Helwani alleges that the UFC had him pulled from Showtime’s Mayweather-McGregor press tour

The UFC and MMA journalist Ariel Helwani have a frosty relationship (to put it mildly). In 2016, UFC president Dana White called Helwani’s reporting “full of shit,” which eventually led to Helwani leaving his role covering the UFC for Fox. Months later, Helwani and a pair of colleagues were “banned for life” by the UFC, which led to pushback by plenty MMA reporters and the eventual reversal of the ban.

Helwani was supposed to work Tuesday’s Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor press tour event in Los Angeles, but he alleges that he was pulled from the event just hours before it was supposed to occur, thanks to pressure from the UFC.

https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/884842996860035074

The decision to pull Helwani from the event must have been made pretty quickly – he was listed on the press release Showtime sent out at 10:51 AM EST.

SHOWTIME Sports announcer Mauro Ranallo will host coverage from Los Angeles with analysis from two-division world champion and SHOWTIME Boxing analyst Paulie Malignaggi, former UFC fighter and current MMA analyst Brendan Schaub and MMA industry veteran Ariel Helwani. Helwani will take over hosting duties in live coverage from Toronto and New York alongside Malignaggi and Schaub. Details on coverage from the London event will be announced shortly.

It’s, once again, a shitty look for the UFC, which seemingly does not give a shit about treating the media respectfully. Last month, a group of MMA journalists (including Helwani) announced the formation of a professional association, designed to help combat garbage like this from happening.

But then again, this isn’t surprising. White thinks Helwani isn’t “a real journalist” because he’s not completely onboard with Team UFC. Mayweather’s team is also not above strongarming journalists it dislikes – before Mayweather’s fight with Manny Pacquiao two years ago, both Michelle Beadle and Rachel Nichols had their credentials for the fight revoked, likely because of their coverage of Mayweather’s domestic violence history.

A handful of MMA journalists were vocal in their support of Helwani.

If this is how the UFC is going to behave towards journalists covering a fight that *isn’t even in the sport they promote*, MMA outlets shouldn’t cover it. Of course that’s not going to happen, given the popularity of McGregor and the carnival atmosphere going into this fight, but it would really be nice for these outlet to show some solidarity instead of just sending out a tweet or two and going about their jobs.
