Have you filed your leave yet? Or have you notified your boss that you’ll be late on May 3?
Well, here’s a reason to do so…
Select Novo Cinemas will be screening the biggest boxing event in recent time dubbed as Fight of the Century.
Mayweather versus Pacquiao… No, it’s actually Floyd Mayweather versus The Filipinos!
Pre-matches begin 5am and the mega fight is expected to be finished by 9am at the following cinemas:
1. Dubai Cineplex (near Grand Hyatt)
2. Ibn Battuta Mall, IMAX
3. Al Ghurair Centre
4. Dubai Festival City
5. Abu Dhabi World Trade Centre Mall
6. Sharjah Mega Mall
Tickets cost AED99 including breakfast – probably the first time for any Dubai movie house to offer breakfast.
I can imagine how much fun it is to be on the big screen with fellow fans – one in screaming, one in cheering, and hopefully, one in celebrating. #OneForManny
You can purchase tickets online at novocinemas.com or at any Novo Cinemas box office.

If being in a cinema or in a restaurant at 5am is not your thing, then why not throw a house party? TFC.tv will also live broadcast the match for AED125 (USD34) at the comfort of your couch. “Yun nga lang, sagot mo ang food.” How about a Saturday slumber party? Wake up as early as 4am and prepare a breakfast party for Manny.
Also available on Etisalat eLife TV and du. OSN will also live broadcast for the same price, including 3 replays throughout the day.
du just announced that it will broadcast the fight uninterrupted to its subscribers for free. Tune it to channel 500 from 5am Sunday.
There are more plans of live streaming in many hotels and restaurants across the country. Keep an eye on this blog and I will confirm the other locations soon.
Is there a place where they offer shisha (hookah) too?
