They already know how it ends, but the astronauts and cosmonauts on the International Space Station have been sent a copy of Saturday's so-called Fight of the Century between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

SHOWTIME Sports and HBO Sports have partnered with NASA to release the welterweight title unification bout, which came at the request of the ISS.

Mayweather defeated Pacquiao by unanimous decision and remains undefeated with a record of 48-0.

This is the first time a pay-per-view blockbuster will be seen in space.
