    With this all but confirmed for February.

    Is anyone in anyway interested in this? I am struggling I must concede.

    Will be shown on ITV Box Office, so not a good start for the PBC reign with ITV.

    Really struggle to see this selling tickets or PPVs. Will happily watch this on YouTube the next morning.

    I don't agree with it being PPV but that's the times we live in unfortunately. It's still a fight I'm interested in.

    The point where people are paying to see this we are struggling. No belts, Degale looking for a pension fund and Eubank just desperate to be in some way relevant.

    I think it’s going to be painful to watch. DeGale is at the point in his career where he is completely shot and isn’t even capable of being competitive against Eubank Jr.

    I hope he gets through the fight with his health in tact but it won’t be competitive

    Moaning?

    PPV surely should be for big fights, not a European level fighter vs a shot former champion.

    If they put these sorts of fights on PPV it won't work. Look at WBSS with ITV.

    Pac is 50 years old. Nobody is interested in seeing him fight anymore.

    Obviously it shouldn’t be PPV. But still will be a good fight to watch IMO. I think Eubank will obliterate him. I don’t hate Degale and was a fan at one point.

    Hopefully it will be a good undercard otherwise it won't be worth buying.

    It’ll be PPV as per Eubank’s arrangement with ITV. A rather pointless fight for all involved as I doubt this will generate massive numbers.

    imagine if they had business sense and built it well and put it on itv 1. could maybe get 4 million viewers. 4 million who would then be invested in the next fight of the winner.

    Instead about 60k will buy it and the world keeps on turning.
