We consider the production of pairs of B{sub c} and B{sub c}{sup {asterisk}} mesons via gluon-gluon and photon-photon fusion processes in the framework of the nonrelativistic color singlet model and perturbative chromodynamics. We calculate the corresponding cross sections for {ital pp} and {gamma}{gamma} collisions at the energies of present and future colliders and discuss the characteristics of the production mechanisms. We analyze the uncertainties of theoretical estimations. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
