    Apparently Chisora is refusing to do them after Fury said he will kill him.

    That is always the way it was (just the main event live) on terrestrial TV. If we have an early night, then there is scope to show the support.

    That is how Benn, Eubank and Naseem got excellent Saturday night figures when they were on ITV.

    Thanks to channel 5 for this.

    Boxing needs exposure on terrestrial tv.

    Audley Harrison has alot to answer for, for the current situation.

    BBC more so. The whole industry told them not to hinge it all on a 28 year old novice.

    Just a stab in the dark but I guess boxing fans do.

    The Yanks are on air at 8pm for this card, so I guess they will have 2 or 3 undercard fights live on their PPV. I guess we're looking for 'alternative' methods for that.

    Totally understandable that Channel 5 are only showing the main event live-after all that's only what they ever used to do on ITV1, but it'd be nice to have had the undercard on 5* or one of their other channels.

    If they only cared about what Boxing fans wanted, they would get very little viewers.
