Sky Sports are expected to show Mayweather 's long-awaited clash with Pacquiao in the UK , although it could cost viewers over £20 to see it . The poster was released as Pacquiao 's promoter Bob Arums said the revenue from ticket sales could hit $ 74m , almost four times the current record . Briefs were initially expected to cost between $ 1,000 and $ 5,000 but that upper limit has been raised to $ 10,000 . A small number are set to go on sale to the public shortly . 'It 's crazy , but it is what it is , ' Arum told ESPN . 'It 's amazing . ' 'We 'll probably have a handful of tickets that will go on sale to the public next week . It 's mania . ' There was also a fierce bidding war between two beer companies , Tecate and Corona to be one of the main sponsors . Tecate won with a bid of $ 5.6m compared to $ 5.2m from its rival . Meanwhile one of Mayweather 's former opponents , Saul Alvarez , believes the American will dictate whether the fight is an exciting one for those watching around the world . He told Fox Deportes : 'Floyd is very smart . He can makes things frustrating or he can make a spectacular fight . He does not expose anything . 'In the past , he 's thrown very few shots and makes things difficult . If he exposes himself just a little bit more , we can get an enjoyable fight . 'Pacquiao comes forward and he 's always throwing a lot of punches , and he 's fast . He can complicate things with his movement as he did with ( Timothy ) Bradley and ( Juan Manuel ) Marquez . Hopefully the fight is attractive . ' Mayweather goes on a run as he prepares to face Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas .
