<P> The fight lived up to revenue expectations , generating somewhere between $300 million and $400 million in gross revenue according to early estimates ( including announced ticket sales totalling $72,198,500 ) , which would surpass Super Bowl XLIX . Due to the possibility of high demand , viewers were encouraged to pre-order the PPV : a HBO representative reported that the fight had attracted more pre-orders than any other PPV event in the broadcaster 's history . Despite the guidance , a high volume of last - minute orders overwhelmed the systems of several major U.S. television providers and resulted in various technical issues , such as difficulties ordering or viewing the PPV , and outages that affected unrelated channels as well for some viewers . To address these issues , the main event was pushed back 45 minutes from its originally projected start time of 8 : 15 p.m. PT ( 11 : 15 p.m. ET ) , to 9 : 00 p.m PT ( 12 : 00 a.m. ET ) . </P>
