The biggest sporting event of 2017

OSN, the region’s leading entertainment network, is bringing the biggest event of the year and most anticipated fight of all time to viewers across the Middle East, when Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor face-off in a not-to-be-missed boxing showdown, live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Fans of the undefeated boxer, Mayweather; and UFC® lightweight champion, McGregor, can catch the live pay-per-view boxing event as they go head-to-head in Las Vegas, exclusively on OSN Sports Box Office HD, on the morning of Sunday August 27, 2017.

Andy Warkman, SVP, Sports & Production, OSN, said: “OSN is all about delivering big events and big nights of sport to our customers and none come bigger than this fight. Mayweather vs. McGregor is the most anticipated event of the year and OSN is very proud to be bringing the fight exclusively to MENA.”

Billed as “The Money Fight”, Mayweather retired in 2015 with an unblemished 49-0 professional boxing record. He is widely regarded as one of the best defensive fighters ever, and prides himself on his ability to evade punishment with his skilful movement about the ring.

A win for Mayweather would move him ahead of former heavyweight great Rocky Marciano, who also retired with a perfect 49-0 career record. McGregor, however, is the UFC's reigning lightweight champion and former featherweight champion, known as much for his technical ability as his explosive knockout power.

The Mayweather vs. McGregor showdown can be purchased at OSN sales kiosks, via the MyOSN app or Myosn.com in advance for the low price of $10; or for $20 from 14 August onwards.
