    Big news this, great for Frampton, will see him become a huge name with a good performance, hopefully its not a 1 off deal and its something more long term

    Fantastic news! So now as well as ITV we've got Sky Sports, BoxNation, BT Sport and channel 5. Wonder if the BBC are contemplating getting back involved.

    Main fight is on ITV, undercard is on ITV4- great news for boxing in this country. Two World Title fights on terrestrial TV in a week. I hope this rates well so ITV recommit to the sport.

    I'd like to know both Frank and Eddie's thoughts on this.

    It'll be Pougatch and maybe Duke McKenzie doing punditry.

    As for the commentary you'd imagine that Rawling/Farrar will be the lead commentator with Woodhall doing colour. Bernstein may be a possibility if he isn't busy that weekend.

    Fantastic if boxing could become a household sport with a few huge names like back in the day.

    Eddie will hopefully pull his finger out for many of his sky sports shows and no ****e ppvs, frank is probably trying to stop the grim reaper putting another nail in the boxnation coffin

    Good for Carl. Outside of Northern Ireland he is a nobody, so it'll hopefully build his profile.

    Only problem is they'll continue to duck Rigo, Quigg and LSC because the last thing they'd want is Carl to lose.

    Will be funny seeing any future frampton quigg negotiations - frampton has the real belt and the broadcaster that can make it a higher profile fight

    Just hope they don't make him do stuff like loose women to promote it

    I sort of hope they do make him do Loose Women to promote it:lol:. Is there any news that this is a one shot deal or more fights on the channel?

    Huge news for the sport, I am very excited for this. Lets hope the undercard is of good enough quality to coax in some of the casuals
