LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – It is no secret that the Pacquiao-Mayweather ‘fight of the century’ held last Saturday in Las Vegas angered many boxing fans who claimed that the fight was not worth the money they paid to watch it.

Many who paid an average of $6,268  to watch the event live at the MGM Grand, or who spent $100 in a one-time subscription to Pay-per-View (PPV), described the fight as nothing but “all hype.” Some even went to the lengths of calling it a “mismatch.”

Initial estimates place the total revenue from PPV at more than $400 Million.

Mayweather earned $83,333 per second from the 12-rounds, while Pacquiao pocketed $55,555 per second.

It is therefore not surprising that viewers and fans are very disgruntled with no way to satifsy nor recoup their investment in this high-profile event.

In a sincere effort to pacify all the anger and frustration, both the Pacquiao and Mayweather camps, with the blessing of MGM Grand and PPV, have agreed to a re-match in the fall of this year.

Realizing that a re-match will not generate the kind of interest and money generated by the May 2nd fight, it was announced that the re-match will be free of charge to the first 16,800 people who will sign up to see the re-match at the MGM Grand.  PPV will also broadcast the re-match live for free, through all cable and television networks that will choose to show it live.

Revenue for both fighters, MGM Grand and PPV will come 100% from sponsorships — assuming there will be any takers. So far, only San Miguel Beer, has signed up to be a sponsor, replacing Tecate beer which was a major sponsor of the May 2nd fight.
