UK boxing fans will have to fork out a whopping £35.99 to watch Floyd Mayweather’s clash with YouTube star Logan Paul.
A new date for the former four-weight world champion’s exhibition bout with the social media star – which was due to take place in February – was announced on Tuesday night.
Mayweather vs Paul is set to take place on June 6 in front of a sold-out crowd at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida.
And those unable to bag a ticket for the event will have to stump up a staggering £35.99 ($49.99) to watch the contest.
Fanmio will broadcast the PPV across the globe, with the exception of the United States.
Showtime Sports will air the fight in the USA but have yet to announce their pricing for the contest.
Mayweather’s exhibition with Paul – who is 0-1-1 as a professional boxer – has been ridiculed by many.
But Paul has vowed to shock the world and hand the Money man his first loss since his defeat to Serafim Todorov at the 1996 Olympics.

He wrote on Instagram: “June 6 I break the simulation
“@mayweatherpromotions @fanmio and @showtimeboxing have come together to make boxing history!!!”
After the first announcement of their fight, a confident Paul said: “I’m always searching for the ultimate challenge and it’s a dream to go toe-to-toe with the greatest boxer alive.
“I am ALL IN, the world could witness the greatest upset in the history of sports.”
But the combat sports world is united in their opinion that Mayweather will wipe the floor with the 25-year-old.
Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson said of the fight: “”Floyd’s gonna beat his f a**.
“But it’s gonna be good. It’s gonna be good, he’s gonna fight back though!”
UFC president Dana White said: “Listen, I understand these kids want to make some money and they do what they got to do and they say what they got to say to try to get in there and make money.
“This is gonna be such a one-sided, ridiculous a**-whooping, it’s not even going to be funny. It’s going to be bad.
“If Floyd Mayweather really shows up and goes in and fights this kid, it’s going to be an a**-whooping nobody has ever seen before.
“Logan is going to find out what speed is. Speed is power.
“And when you get hit with s*** that you don’t see coming and when a guy like Floyd Mayweather starts putting it on you, it’s not even going to be a fight.
“It’s going to be ridiculous.
“It’s going to be the worst a**-whooping you have ever seen.
“Take the size difference and all the other things, it’s going to look like what a grown man could do to his kid.”
