    No idea which channel but Kalle confirms it early in this interview.

    Of course he's evidently also off his rocker on crack so who knows if he's just talking crap or not.

    Towards the end of the interview he also confirms that every single fight will be watchable in the UK by the same broadcaster and they are announcing it "imminently".

    Tbh I think it will be an obscure sports channel.

    I doubt it's gonna be BT, Sky or BN. Whoever shows the fight has to show every fight which happens every weekend. No established sports channel will be able to do it because they have their own commitments already in boxing.

    Depends how much the subscription is. If it's £15 per month and you are getting insane PPV headlining fights week after week you can't complain too much if you're a passionate boxing fan. Either way you could find a bar showing the channel quite easily I reckon.

    Fair point. But this is a dream tournament. Never gonna fund itself. And if Sky did have it, you can bet your arse any fight between Groves, Eubank and Smith would be standalone PPVs anyway.

    Premier Sports is a subscription channel and i think its £9.99 a month, but i'm sure i saw a code floating about to get it for £5.99 a month. But also there is a fee for setting your account up sure its also about £9.99 but if you argue with them they will more than likely not charge the set up fee as they want your custom. I had it for years but unsubbed last year as all i watched was the NRL and the NRL games were appearing on youtube within hours of finishing.
    They also show the NHL i believe.

    Believe that code for PremierSports is no longer valid ...may be wrong??
    I've got a feeling it will be ITV Box Office, announce it along with Parker v Fury (??)

    Premier Sports has a just launched Freesports on Freeview so that's a possibility.

    Perplexed by Sky's lack of interest in this- even though it's eight weekends of solid boxing it's not like they have got to be on site for every fight.

    Sky cater to casual fans. They are never gonna pay what I'm presuming is a large fee for fights involving Braehmer, Brant and some Eastern European Cruiserweights. Casual fans will never have even heard of Usyk or Huck.

    Good grief, he's coked out of his tree. It's like the last few scenes of Goodfellas.
