FLOYD MAYWEATHER’S bout with YouTuber Logan Paul will be shown on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK.
0-1 novice Paul takes on 50-0 former ring king Mayweather in an eight-round exhibition in Miami, Florida on June 6.
And fight fans will have to shell out to watch it, although no fixed UK price has yet been announced by Sky Sports.
It was confirmed on Thursday that the event will cost US viewer £35 on Showtime pay-per-view.
However, the usual PPV price for Sky Sports boxing events is £19.99, although the last two Anthony Joshua fights have both been £24.99.
The likes of Badou Jack, Jean Jean Pascal and Jarrett Hurd will all feature on the undercard of the event.
Social media star Paul reckons he will earn £14million for his exhibition fight against the all-time great.
And yet the 26-year-old will still receive less than a fifth of Mayweather’s reported purse, which is said to be a lucrative £72m.
It will be Paul’s third bout in a boxing ring, the other two coming as a mix of amateur and professional contests.
The 26-year-old drew an amateur fight against fellow internet star KSI in 2018, before turning pro and losing their rematch the following year.

Meanwhile, Mayweather – widely regarded as the best boxer of his generation – retired from the sport with a perfect 50-0 record.
The duo were scheduled to square off inside the ring in February, only for the dust-up to be postponed to allow fans to attend.
The PPV details come after Logan and brother Jake revealed they have hired security following Floyd’s threat to ‘kill’ The Problem Child.
Mayweather came to blows with the younger Paul last week in Miami after the YouTuber stole his hat.
