Sky Sports announce Floyd Mayweather fight with Logan Paul will cost hefty £16.95 as fans rage ‘it’s a sham of a fight’
FLOYD MAYWEATHER'S exhibition fight against Logan Paul will cost viewers in the UK £16.95 to watch.
And that price to see the undefeated boxing legend take on a YouTuber has been met with ridicule by many on social media.
Mayweather, 44, has shared intense training videos recently as he prepares to take on a man several weight divisions above him - and two decades younger.
His regular sparring partner Denis Douglin has even expressed his shock at Mayweather training as if he is having a 'proper fight'
But the general consensus is that the Sky Sports Box Office bout will be a walk in the park for the man known as 'The Money'.
And paying £16.95 for the privilege of watching of watching it in the early hours of Monday, June 7 for people in the UK doesn't seem that appealing.

'Farce', 'useless event', 'circus' and 'sham of a fight' were just some of the descriptions used for the clash.
Many boxing fans were angered that Josh Taylor's stunning undisputed junior-welterweight victory against Jose Ramirez was ignored by the big broadcasters - yet Sky Sports are promoting Mayweather vs Paul.
Darren Newton wrote on Twitter: "Would rather have paid that for Josh Taylor."
Ian Johnston added that he 'would have paid this for Taylor', but not this 'nonsense'.
Mayweather is apparently 'p****d off' and has a 'fire lit under him' after Logan's brother Jake stole his hat.
So says sparring partner Douglin, who thinks the 44-year-old will make Logan 'pay' for his brother's indiscretions.
