By Chrysanthus Ikeh

American cable networks, Showtime and HBO are considering a record charge of $99.95 for pay-per-view subscribers who intend to watch the richest bout in the history of boxing, between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

The announcement is yet to be made but several reports state that an official confirmation will be made as soon as a conclusion is reached on the matter.

The mega fight, which is scheduled to hold at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 2, will see the pair sharing a massive $250M fee for agreeing to meet in the boxing ring and settle their five-year rift.
