Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor 'Money Fight' gets Saturday replay on Showtime

If you didn’t shell out the nearly $100 for “The Money Fight” on Saturday night, you’ll have a chance to catch a replay at the end of the week – and it’ll be free. Sort of.

Showtime will air a replay of Floyd Mayweather’s 10th-round TKO of Conor McGregor on Saturday at 9 p.m. ET, meaning subscribers can watch the fight again, or for the first time, for free.

Showtime was the pay-per-view distributor of the fight expected to challenge for the title of most lucrative combat sports event in history. And as is usual with its big pay-per-views, it will put it on its premium cable network a week after.

Mayweather (50-0 boxing) got an early challenge from McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC, 0-1 boxing), who took the first three rounds on one of the judges’ scorecards. But then he settled into his comfort zone. Two of the three judges had him winning every round after the first – including a 10-8 Round 9 before getting a standing TKO in the 10th. McGregor was boxing for the first time as a pro; “Money” Mayweather was hoping to get to 50-0 before retiring.

The fight took place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, which almost certainly will set a new Las Vegas live gate record. Early estimates said Mayweather could make as much as $350 million for the fight, while McGregor was likely to take home $100 million. Their minimum base pay was $100 million for Mayweather and $30 million for McGregor, but there is little doubt they’ll exceed that in droves.

Mayweather, who hadn’t fought in more than two years, now says he’s retiring for good. McGregor, the UFC’s lightweight champion, says he’s a free agent and willing to box or go back to the UFC to defend his title.
