Sky Deutschland maintains Mayweather connection for Berto fight

German pay-television broadcaster Sky Deutschland has acquired rights to Floyd Mayweather Jr’s fight against Andre Berto.

In a fight that undefeated pound-for-pound superstar Mayweather has pledged will be his last, heavy underdog Berto will attempt to win the WBA super and WBC welterweight world titles in Las Vegas on September 12.

Sky will broadcast the fight, along with the undercard WBC super-middleweight title bout between champion Badou Jack and George Groves, via its Sky Select pay-per-view service. The event will be available for €15 ($17) until midday on September 11, rising to €20 thereafter.

The May 2 world welterweight clash between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao was also shown on Sky Select.
