What time does Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight start? (TV, free streaming info)

“The fight of the Century” between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd “Money” Mayweather will take place Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The card begins at 9 p.m. but Pacquiao and Mayweather aren’t expected to hear the openingbell go off until approximately 11:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Showtime will broadcast the event live on Pay-Per-View for a cool $99.Many sites across the Internet will surely attempt to stream the fight live, but Showtime has many streaming pirates shivering their timbers as it already filed a lawsuit against sites that claim they’re going to stream the main event for free, like boxinghd.net and sportship.org.

Via TMZ, boxinghd.net’s homepage read this week: “If you can’t afford to buy tickets then simply watch Mayweather vs. Pacquiao here. We will provide nothing but the freshest and most reliable high quality live links.”
