Pound-for-pound king Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez returns to the ring on Saturday as he looks to add a second world light-heavyweight title to his resume when he challenges the undefeated Dmitry Bivol in Las Vegas.
In the United States and Canada, the fight can be purchased via DAZN PPV alongside the usual DAZN monthly or annual subscription. Here's everything you need to know about how to order the fight, which devices will carry the event, and more.
Introducing Pay Per View on DAZN
Working with both existing partners and future partners to come, DAZN will offer select mega fights as Pay Per View add-on events. These occasional Pay Per View fights will be available to both existing and new DAZN subscribers in selected countries, live and on demand.

How much PPV fights cost on DAZN
Canelo Alvarez vs. Dmitry Bivol will be available on DAZN PPV in the United States for $59.99 (and in Canada for 59.99 CA$) to current DAZN subscribers. Added to their subscription fee for the month, existing subscribers will pay a total of $79.98 (both US and CA) for the pound-for-pound king's big test at light-heavyweight against the undefeated WBA champion on May 7, plus all of May's exciting subscription content on DAZN.
Those who do not currently subscribe, meanwhile, can order Canelo vs. Bivol via DAZN PPV on the app for $79.99 US/ $79.99 CA, and this will give them not only Canelo vs. Bivol but an entire month of DAZN's subscription offerings, including live fight nights almost every week, a range of other sports, classic fights, exclusive interviews, The DAZN Boxing Show every weekday and more.
Please note that the month's subscription is only included when the PPV is ordered through the DAZN app, not other independent providers of the fight.
In comparison, Canelo's most recent fight (vs. Caleb Plant) cost $79.99 for that show and that show only; Keith Thurman's recent return to action vs. Mario Barrios cost $74.99 for that show only.
