Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao to be shown for free in Mexico, but how much will the fight cost on PPV TV elsewhere?

Despite much of the world broadcasting Floyd Mayweather's fight against Manny Pacquiao on pay-per-view, boxing fans in Mexico will be able to watch it for free.
Mexican TV companies Televisa and Azteca both struck a deal to show the $300million bout for free in their country.
That makes Mexico one of few places where boxing is popular to show the contest without charge while most of the world will at least have to pay subscription costs if not pay-per-view.

Manny Pacquiao's fans back home in the Philippines will be able to watch the fight on free-to-air TV
