The $99.95 cost of the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao fight is a bargain — compared to the $351,000 some guy was seeking for a floor seat Wednesday on StubHub.
But compared to everything else you can get on your TV? Not so much.
Here’s a look at what else that $99.95 will buy:
— A UFC pay-per-view and four months of UFC Fight Pass.
— 10 WWE pay-per-views, plus hundreds of hours of archives, via WWE Network.
— Two and a half months of NFL Sunday Ticket.
— Five months of unlimited baseball via MLB.TV.
— 11 months of Netflix.
— 12 months of Hulu Plus.
— 12 months of Amazon Prime.
— Six and a half months of pretty much everything HBO ever made, via HBO Now.
— Five months of Sling TV, which offers streaming ESPN, ESPN2, AMC, A&E, TNT, TBS, CNN, Lifetime, Disney, History, Travel Channel, HGTV, Food Network, IFC, ABC Family, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and El Rey.
