If you're still short of plans for the May 2 fight, here's a left-field suggestion: Load up your car with Tecate and drive down to Mexico. Instead of paying $100 to buy the PPV or shelling out $141,000 for a ticket, head to a country where it'll cost $FREE.99 to watch Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao settle their bout.
According to TMZ Sports, two major television networks in Mexico will be broadcasting the fight free of charge. Rival networks Televisa and Azteca signed on last month to simultaneously carry the fight in Mexico, but now the World Boxing Council has confirmed that every Mexican with a television set and a signal will be able to tune in.
“Televisa and Azteca must be recognized for their great commitment, for bringing to Mexico this bout for free," said the WBC. "This has never, ever happened in any country of the world.”
How many people in Mexico will still use FirstRowSports though? Old habits tend to die hard.
