    This really isn't PPV worthy, REAL boxing fans will pay to watch but the casual viewers who are the majority and are the only people that could make this a profitable venture will not pay to see any of the fights EVEN the ones with Froch.

    Rather it be on ppv than not on tv at all.

    Definately! for boxing fans it could be great, how profitable it would be for ITV is another question... (allthough I couldn't really care about the later)

    Screw that. This deserves to be on free tv. The finals will be on terrestrial tv in the US which is huge, and at least Abraham's fights will be on terrestrial tv in Germany.

    :good He seems a lot more intelligent than most boxers you see interviewed on tv (three of the most popular Brits from the last couple of years come to mind)

    I thought Sky was getting in on this when they said it was happening I think Sky was mentioned as being in on it.

    I can't see it. ITV are struggling in the recession as it is, the last thing they are going to want to do is set up a new PPV channel where none of the boxers involved are proven draws on PPV. It's too big a risk.

    It'll be on Sky, but even then it'll not be on PPV unless they can shoe-horn Kahn, Hatton or the Olympians in there.
