The current cost of the fight on home TV in Southern California ranges from $44.95 to $49.95, depending on the cable system.

Rick Kulis of Choice Entertainment, the Southern California distributor of the pay-per-view and closed-circuit telecast, said, “The volume of sales is unprecedented, so people should not give up if they have trouble getting through to their cable company.”

Kulis also warned that there are no free showings of the fight. “Bars that aren’t charging a $35 cover are not licensed to carry the fight, and patrons going to those bars will probably be in for a disappointment,” he said.
