FANS itching to see the famed ‘Money Fight’ between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor can now do so on the big screen.
Due to overwhelming demand in what is one of the biggest prize fights in history, an exclusive partnership between Event Cinemas Cairns City, Foxtel and Fox Sports has been formed to give Far North Queensland punters a virtual ringside seat with big sound live on Sunday 27 August from 11am.
The fight will bring the undefeated king of boxing (Mayweather 49-0) against the Irish superstar of MMA (McGregor 22-3) in an event which has captured the imagination of the world.
“We are excited to screen this epic boxing event live… (it will be) as if they are virtually sitting ringside enjoying sliders and beers,” said Andrew McNicol General Manager of Event Cairns City.

“Mayweather versus McGregor is a not to be missed viewing event,” said Steve O’Connor, FOX SPORTS Commercial Director
“Aussie fans can experience this historic fight live, whether it’s at home on the couch, at their local pub or club or on the big screen through this exciting new partnership with Event and Village Cinemas.
