Now that an eye injury has forced Errol Spence, Jr. to back out of his fight with 42-year-old boxer Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KOs), the upcoming face-off has become a WBA welterweight championship fight instead: one where Pacquiao takes a shot at the title stripped from him by the WBA after his 20-month absence from the ring. Taking it back from 35-year-old Cuban Yordenis Ugas (26-4, 12 KOs) this Saturday night August 21 in Las Vegas will be no easy feat for the Filipino superstar, which is why everyone is tuning in. In the United States, Fox Sports holds the rights to this boxing match, and it comes with a $74.99 pay-per-view (PPV) price tag. But in Great Britain, Sky Sports has picked up the broadcast and is showing it non-PPV. If you’re not physically in the UK, how do you access this stream? Even if you don’t have access to Sky Sports, we’ll show you how to live stream Pacquiao vs. Ugas for a fraction of the cost by using a VPN.
