UFC fans who were expecting to watch Conor McGregor take on Floyd Mayweather on pay-per-view are going to have to shell out a few more dollars than they normally would.

The superfight headed to the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas will be handled by Mayweather Promotions and Showtime, not the UFC, so fans will have to pay far more than the $60 they would for a high-definition UFC PPV.

How much more? Almost double if UFC president Dana White’s assumptions are correct.

“I would have to assume it would be like the Pacquiao prices,” White told the media on Wednesday. “Think about when you talk about a superfight. We always talk, ‘superfight, superfight’ … this is a superfight. This is a superfight.”

“This is the fight where all the Hollywood stars come out, The Jay-zs, the Puffys, the Beyonces, all the Hollywood actors, all the NBA stars -- this is it. It gets no bigger than this. It will be a star-studded affair. This will be the biggest event ever. Everyone will be talking about this for years to come.”
