Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury UK PPV price and early main event start time for Saudi Arabia fight confirmed

 Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury will take place on Sunday, and key details for fight fans in the UK have now been confirmed.

The pay-per-view price for the fight, which takes place in Saudi Arabia, has been announced by BT Sport, as has the expected start time.

It will cost £19.95 to watch on BT Sport.

It has also been confirmed that live coverage will begin at 6.30pm UK time on BT Sport Box Office.

The main event ring walk is scheduled to begin at 9:30pm UK time on Sunday, February 26th.

This is slightly earlier than the usual start time for major fights in the United Kingdom, which is 10:30pm/11pm UK time.

It's understandable, given that Saudi Arabia is three hours ahead of the United Kingdom.

That time over here corresponds to 12:30am in Saudi Arabia.

As is customary, the PPV price announcement has divided opinion.

"No grown man will be interested in watching this, surely?" said one.

A second user shared a meme that simply stated the price: “Shameless.”

Many people, however, responded positively.

"That's actually decent value for once in 2023," one person said.

"Oh my god, let's moan and b**** about the price," wrote another. Then don't f***ing watch it; it's really that simple."

Mike Tyson, the former undisputed heavyweight champion, has given Paul his strongest endorsement in the ring.

"I like how he got into the game," he said in 2022.

"People don't realize how important boxing is. At this point in boxing, the best fighters aren't fighting each other, so the sport needs someone like this.

"Listen, every time he fights, he brings in $75 million at the box office."

However, it will be available for free on talkSPORT, with EXCLUSIVE radio rights to the fight going live on February 26th.

talkSPORT.com will also have a live blog HERE that will take you through every punch in Saudi Arabia.

Nick Peet, a boxing journalist, joined talkSPORT to explain why the price is what it is.
