    iTV4 is poor though. More like an afterthought.

    Live on ITV4 kinda sucks.

    Surprised WBSS were so adamant that any broadcaster had to take the whole thing.

    Wonder how much sky sports news bother to mention it.

    Groves/Cox might be on ITV1. I doubt that Eubank fights on any but the PPV Channel meaning not many UK fans will be pulling for him to progress.

    This is great news, I cant wait. Apparently it will be across the ITV channels so Smith/Skoglund on itv4 and I imagine Groves/Cox could end up being PPV. Or the winner versus Eubank will be PPV. Just a thought

    Groves/Cox and the Eubank fight are on consecutive weekends so I suspect one will be on free tv.

    Overjoyed that it's not on premier sports like some of the rumours and podcasts I listen to said, I think every Eubanks fight will be ppv.

    Because it's iTV4. Don't get me wrong it's good that it was picked up as sky and BT were never gonna take the whole thing.

    Just be nice if iTV would take a gamble and show boxing on the main channel.

    PPV wise, if they keep the price reasonable, £10 / £15, it could do quite well for them. I wouldn't mind paying around that mark (£10 is obviously better) for some of them, if they do one, maybe two, PPV's. Hopefully it'll do well & persuade ITV to pick up more free to air.

    Groves v Eubank in the semi final will be PPV. I guess you could justify that one, it's a good fight.
