The cost of viewing the upcoming Mayweather-Pacquiao fight is expensive no matter what method you wish to utilize, but now, thanks to a new deal, you can watch the streaming of Saturday's big showdown absolutely free.

Everyone is talking about the big Mayweather-Pacquiao fight taking place on Saturday, but people are also buzzing about its cost. While lucky Mexicans can watch the showdown in their home country at no cost, U.S. fans have fewer options. The charge on pay-per-view is a much-publicized $100, which can be prohibitive to many fans unless they invite a bunch of friends over for a fight party and split the cost. If you have 10 friends over and each contributes $10, that's not a bad price at all; just make sure to tell them to bring lots of food and beverages as well. Another way to watch for less is to go to a venue that is showing the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, such as a restaurant or bar.

Now, there's a way for you to watch the big Mayweather-Pacquiao fight in the comfort of your own home, absolutely free. If you're wondering whether there's a catch to this, the answer is an unequivocal yes, but it still may be worth it for some.

Right now, Dish Network is offering the livestream of the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight absolutely free to those who sign up for service on its network. You may be thinking that you can sign up for the service for a month and then cancel, but Dish Network has already anticipated that approach and is requiring a two-year service agreement with the offer.

Still, if you were considering switching to Dish Network anyway, or if you've just moved at the end of the month and are deciding between cable and satellite providers, the timing may be perfect for you to take advantage of this deal.
