    With Tete involved surely this could be a good platform for their new PPV service?

    I think they’ll definitely go for it and I think sky will too this time around.

    I think ITV have made an absolute hash of the series. Fight not live or only on a stream type service. BT or Sky would guarantee a full evening/night of free or PPV action.

    The promotion Groves - Eubank got was shocking. Imagine how big that fight would have been had it been on SKY.

    To be fair, it was only the one fight that wasn't live on telly. Usyk vs. Huck.

    Bt will probably get it, sky have too many of their own shows and PPVS to show, unless it was a 147 or 160 tournament i think sky will leave it alone

    I am not so sure Sky want it.

    I think they want to be able to pick what fights to show at any given time rather than take the whole lot.

    Sky won't get involved in any super 6 tournament.

    It was a complete mess.

    The other fights which weren’t PPV but you couldn’t find them on any itv channel because for some reason it was still on ITV PPV.

    They might find it harder to get a broadcaster with three tournaments in the next series. That's a lot of dates if they're going to continue doing a live show for each and every fight in the tourney. I don't think it'd be a bad idea to at least put some of the quarter finals on the same bill.
