The Conor McGregor/Floyd Mayweather fight is almost here. Can you believe it? It’s been years of buildup and months of press conferences, but now, our eager fingers hover over the buttons that will send $100 the way of Mayweather/McGregor promotions. But, there’s more than one way to watch the fight. You can order at home, go to a bar, or even a theater. Here’s your primer on how to handle fight night.

How to watch
Beyond the typical PPV options (the $100 fight card can be purchased on PS4, through your cable provider or Xbox), there are a plethora of other ways to watch Mayweather vs. McGregor.
A select number of theaters are showing the fight. Visit Fathom Events here, and enter your zip code to see if there’s a theater near you.
The DirectTV Sports Bar Finder App is also very helpful in this situation, but keep in mind that bars and restaurants are charging covers everywhere from $20-$50 for the event. In that case, it might be best just to stay home.
For example, Hooters and Buffalo Wild Wings are charging between $30-$50 to watch, with coupons towards food on your next visit.
You could also go through UFC.TV, which is available on Xbox. It’s still $99.99, but if you’re new to Fight Pass, you’ll get a month free for ordering, and you’ll get a hat that should come with a free bowl of soup.
