DENVER – One of the most anticipated matches in the history of boxing is taking place Saturday, and millions of people are expected to be watching the fight around the world at the price tag of $99.99.

The match-up between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been the most talked about sporting event for the past week, and much of that talk has centered around the money each will get to fight the other.
