    ITV can ***** off they had every opportunity to pick up boxing over the years but sneered jeered and frowned upon
    They and fwank rinsed the stupid casuals with Khan and ran leaving the rest of domestic fighters with a sdh1t load of holes in the boat

    My prediction is this may be on "ITV PPV" but you won't have to pay a penny for it. At the moment the fight is getting more publicity and people talking about it because of the "ppv" angle than if it was announced like any other fight. Its the kind of weird PR move I can imagine from the Eubanks.

    In the end it'll be free to air to celebrate the channel''s opening night/first show.

    No chance ITV charge anyone for this.

    Fwank did the damage and that's why itv pulled out if he delivered the fights they would have carried on, instead he killed it with a trough of absolute shiiiiiite.

    Eubank Jr is clearly the business. Why is everyone so angry about spending a few quid to watch him rip a world title at super middle weight? Let's have some calm.

    At first I thought ITV were crazy launching this channel as it was obvious the buy rate will be miniscule. However since watching the IFL interviews with both Eubanks I get the feeling that the plan is to make a loss with this fight but use it as a dress rehearsal for a Eubank GGG fight which they must think they will cash in with.

    It would be pretty funny if this did good numbers just to see the look in Hearns face

    Hearn stated yesterday that this will be £20 if you don't book it early. Given an undercard is on ITV4 that's scandalous if true.
