    Froch-Kessler 2 is going to be shown on several channels worldwide,skybox office ppv for the British viewers,and tv3 sport ppv (i think) for the danish viewers,and HBO for the USA viewers.
    The venue was close to sellout (95% of the tickets) was sold almost within hours,so i think that it will be a HUGE PPV fight aswell,with about 50 mill. British people,Denmarks (only) 5 mill. and ofc. a lot of germans will probably also watch the fight,since Saurland is Kesslers promotors.BUT the question is: will the American fight fan watch the fight?
    Or is this more a european superfight!! I think the fight will do some amazing ppv numbers,and i also think we are in for a treat of a great fight!

    Dude, I think it's on regular HBO. It'll be shown as part of a few other fights happening that night.

    the bout is big enough for boxfans to be PPV, but I doubt it will be for the regular American viewer.

    And by the way, I don't want any fight to be PPV.

    I thought this was rumored to be on regular HBO as a triple header with Pascal/Bute and a Dawson fight?

    That would be sweet!
    What a card if they can pull it off.

    HBO aren't going to put a fight in the UK between two Europeans starting in the States on a Saturday at lunchtime on PPV.

    No the time line just doesn't fit. They'll probably show the replay or the delayed fight as a part of the card...can't wait. Great day of boxing. I'll be watching live though :yep
