    It'll be in the PPV section, same as any other PPV and then will come through on channel 0. Don't know for sure that it is on Virgin but read in one report that it is available to satellite and cable viewers. Only read in threads here that it may not be

    So 2 huge fights on ppv? Yes I will buy it.

    I do not get what the problem is?

    Haye is on ppv and no one is bothered at all about that so why the hassle on this fight?

    Haye vs Valuev is much more significant than Froch vs Dirrell, amongst other reasons....

    If it's available on Virgin hen yes

    If not available on Virgin then I will watch it for free elsewhere

    Poor Froch, he deserves better than this

    Just to add - is it worth £13 of my money to watch Carl fight Dirrell? I think it is.

    What do people expect? Why the assumption it should be free?

    Yeah, he really needs to get out of his contract with Hennessy, he don't like Warren either so I'm thinking Maloney or even Hayemaker would get him on TV. Even Hatton seems like a better idea! at least he has a contract with sky.:-(

    Exactly.

    I didn't pay for it last time, and I ain't gonna pay for it this time - Froch is not a PPV fighter.

    Until Froch beats Kessler he ain't PPV in my opinion anyway.

    To be fair, the Americans have it a lot worse than us ($50 PPV's, and more of them) - not sure about other countries.
