on ESPN2 Mayweather-Pacquiao, and four other fights to air March 25
Top Rank and ESPN will continue the recent trend of airing boxing fights during a time no live fights will be available.
With the coronavirus suspending events, Bob Arum’s promotion is ready to entertain the masses. This comes after Premier Boxing Champions produced a whole day dedicated to classic fights, while ESPN aired both Deontay Wilder-Tyson Fury bouts.
The following fights will be shown via a marathon today, Wednesday, March 25:
- 7 p.m. ET – Terence Crawford v. Amir Khan (4/20/19)
- 8 p.m. ET – Terence Crawford v. Egidijus Kavaliauskas, Richard Commey v. Teofimo Lopez, Michael Conlan v. Vladimir Nikitin (12/4/19)
- 10 p.m. ET – Tyson Fury v. Otto Wallin (9/14/19)
- 11 p.m. ET – Floyd Mayweather v. Manny Pacquiao (5/2/15)
Obviously, the biggest bout on tonight’s schedule is the highly-anticipated bout between Mayweather and Pacquiao. A fight that produced a ticket sale revenue of $72,198,500 and 4.6 million PPV buys ($410 million in revenue), the Mayweather (50-0) and Pacquiao (62-7-2) debate continues to be discussed.
It was only because the fight ended up being a lackluster affair that saw Mayweather use his defense over his offense. It was also criticized after Pacquiao revealed to have suffered from a shoulder injury prior to the bout.
More information can be followed at ESPN or Fight Sports.
