    Or disappointments?

    Tyson Fury started his camp for Wilder on the 1st apparently, will this get announced this week?

    A big WBSS double header which is probably Taylor and Flanagan/Burnett to be announced.

    ITV to be announced as the host again too.

    Joshua v Povetkin undercard will surely have some movement.

    Khan fights this week, will we get a Brook announcement afterwards?

    Usyk v Bellew should be announced this week.

    Possibly get a Yarde announcement for his copper box headliner?

    I agree, the fury wilder fight really stinks! Warren said it was a done deal and all would be revealed a couple of weeks ago but still nothing

    Hope you're right on the ITV part. WBSS has been excellent for the most part.

    50/50 I guess.
    Not holding my breath.
    Love the WBSS format.
    As always, don't know if there are many TBA's at the moment.
    Khan is already preparing people for another debacle with his latest quote.
    That would be so great. Love Usyk whoever he fights.
    Headlining against the notorious TBA :ggg

    Can you expand on Flanagan? I thought he was already penciled in for New Orleans?

    How do you mean? In terms of production (which I thought was ace, though it isn't important to me anyway) or just in terms of announcing stuff?

    Some of the fights were very hard to watch, fairly sure one was not even live. The PPV system was dreadful, and basically paid 0 attention to the Cruisers as their were no Brits.

    Really? I had no problem watching any of them personally. Didn't pay for a single fight, mind. Plus I knew when the CW fights were so wasn't too bothered about the care ITV put into it, so long as it was being broadcast that was enough for me

    I think ITV really ballsed it up. Most of the fights were on the box office channel and, even though they were free, id bet they lost lots of potential viewers because all they would have seen is Box Office.

    They had boxing Gold on their hands and really failed to get people aware. The promoters have to share the blame also.

    Agree with the box office channel. Weren’t the brightest putting free to air stuff on that!

    I thought the production of the shows was quality. Only disappoint really was the lack of promotion. This could be down to the WBSS as opposed to ITV though.

    In fairness I forgot about the PPV part as - like I mentioned above - I didn't pay for a single one of them. Was no need for them to be on PPV at all really

    Wasn't the PPV bit I was on about. It was putting the free to air fights on the PPV channel. That would have put alot of people off even though they were free.
