Bars charge big bucks for Mayweather-Pacquiao viewing parties

Bars across the country are looking to cash in ahead of Saturday's match of the century when undeafeated Floyd Mayweather, Jr. takes on Manny Pacquiao.

Tickets on StubHub for the boxing event start at $2,800 --with some choice seats selling elsewhere for thousands more.  But even if you can't make it to the ring, it doesn't mean you won't be shelling out big bucks.

At home, the Pay-Per-View cost of the match is $100, but for bars it's even more. For example, most Buffalo Wild Wings outlets find the $5,100 broadcast fee too steep and as a result only a handful restaurants will air it --and those will be charging a $20 cover.

But many other bars are pulling out the stops to get people to pull out their wallets.

Check out some of the most over-the-top viewing parties we've found across the country.
