ITV ink 3 year deal with PBC

I will wait to see the full details before I get too excited. If Haymon is going to stick anything decent on PPV then it’s no good to us really.

 

More PPVs!!!!!!! What a time to be alive!

Let’s hope this doesn’t kick off the PPV part

 

I don't think they're thick enough to stick the likes of the Charlos on PPV over here. Would bomb drastically. It'll be similar to the WBSS I guess. INTL content will probably be free but any potential big domestic fight (which Jr-Degale should NOT fall under) will probably be a tenner

 

Was looking very good until 'ITV Box Office' appeared on the end.

Looks like more of the same - crap fights free and pay per puddings

 

What fights would they put on ITV1? Surely they’d have to involve British fighters and be at a decent time in the UK otherwise you would just put them on ITV4.

If Degale/Eubank happens I’d imagine it would be PPV because of Eubank’s need to be on PPV.

If Groves signs with the PBC I could see his fights being on ITV1.

This announcement although welcome is all a bit vague.

 

Sky have lost plenty of sport over the past 2 years mate

 

DeGale - Eubank Jr will be world's first York Hall PPV

 

Joyce v Ortiz coming to the UK!

 

Will flop massively if they go the same route they did for wbss last time. Hopefully have learnt from that

 

The market in the UK is already saturated; I think it diminishes the value of the product when we have boxing rammed down our throat 24/7 especially when the product isnt great. Whilst DeGale v Eubank is a great kick starter, I worry what we'll get after that. In theory, it would be nice if all upped their game with 50/50 stacked cards to beat off competition.

 

Great news, free boxing on ITV. I hope this includes all the US shows. Genuinely very excited for this. Also good for fighters, the more options the better.

 

Money for revenge, man, that's hardly an expense
Al Haymon checks off of all of my events
I like all the profit, man, I hardly do percents.

 

Sky sports News has some of the lowest ratings for a Sky channel and is so outdated in this digital world we live in. People consume content through youtube and social media. That’s all you need to hype up a PPV.

 

BT still have the key rights. Preimer League and Champions League until 2021. They ain’t going nowhere.

Sky relies on a broad offering on sports. I can’t wait to see them die, hopefully Amazon/DAZN come in heavy in the UK
