    Its good for boxing that ITV picked up the series. It opens up the fighters to a massive audience. Eubank will continue his PPV run while they rest will be free until the semi finials i imagine.
    Groves vs Eubank in the finial would be huge for British boxing and i hope it happens.

    Interesting

    'WBSS: New measures to prevent draws


    According to promoter Kalle Sauerland, the World Boxing Super Series will take special measures to prevent draws. First, instead of three judges, there will be four judges scoring the fight. However, the fourth scorecard will only be used if the other three cards result in a draw. In the event the fourth card is also a draw, the winner of the final round will decide who moves ahead in the tournament. Sauerland points out that this rule change has been approved by all four world organizations. In addition, he stated that “instant replay” will be used to help assess controversial situations, and all fighters are subject to VADA testing.'


    A little extra for fans of Kalle ''Kingpin'' Sauerland

    Well, that would leave Ward out...................

    USTV is boycotting the tournament because there are too many Europeans in it................I remember when they boycotted the Klitschkos at times.....................American boxing powers-that-be hate European fighters, esp. Eastern European fighters. Kovalev said, after being cheated by Vegas' SOB criminals, this is boxing, not politics...............don't blame Eastern European fighters for Putin and Trump, blame the electoral idiots for not watching the voting machines..................yes, Russia won the election, but that's not Euro fighter's fault.................Clinton won by 3,000,000 votes!!!!!!! Only in a democracy does the person who gets the most votes win the election.......................so quit blaming the boxers, they had nothing to do with the crooked election!

    Sucks that HBO or Showtime didn't buy into the US broadcasting rights for every fight of the tourney. Maybe they'll jump in for the semi's and finals.

    Or even the PBC or ESPN if the latter is so committed to great boxing.

    I'm not surprised they don't, for various reasons. However HBO and Showtime legit disappoints me. I do tend to think one of them will pick up the semi's and finals, at least the finals, I would hope. Shame if fewer than 3 of the tourney fights get showcased to the US audience.

    Its sold as a package so HBO and Showtime won't be showing any of it if they didn't buy the whole thing.

    It seems so. Didn't think it would be since its only a week after the Eubank fight. It should be 9 quid and not 16 if they are planning so many PPVs.
    Pretty sure the Huck fight won't be on live this weekend too.
