Fight fans in the UK will have to cough up a hefty £16.95 to see Money’s eight-rounder with the Maverick.
And many of them are far from happy with the pricing of the event.
One tweeted: “Whos gonna stay up till 4am on a Sunday to watch a retired boxer against a YouTuber and pay 17 quid on top?
“Shouldve stuck Taylor Ramirez on instead of this b******s i cant see many people buying it at all.”
Another said: “Ridiculous how desperate Sky Sports gets as soon as the football stops.
“Next week on Box Office a p****d up ruck out the back of the Red Lion.”

And another said: “I wouldn’t even stay up to watch this if you paid me 20 quid never mind me having to pay the 20 quid.”
One furious fan remarked: “PPV for this!
“Sorry, but it’s beyond a joke, lining the pocket of someone who has more money than they could ever hope to spend, and a youtuber who is probably in the same boat. Not for me.”
Despite being 0-1 as a pro, Paul is adamant he’ll become the first man to beat the 44-year-old Mayweather in over 25 years.
He said: “I’m going to knock him out and become the greatest boxer on the planet.
“Then I’m going to retire and not give Floyd the rematch. He doesn’t know who he’s getting in the ring with.
“He really thinks I’m a YouTuber. He really thinks I’m a fake fighter. I get it.
“Everything that I’ve portrayed online says the same thing. But we’re really about this life now.
“Floyd underestimating me is going to hurt him, I think.
“If you think about it, this truly is one of the most special, historic events ever.
“You have one of the greatest boxers of our generation, fighting, uh, me.”
