    There's been a few on fitetv and I guess you can say box nation is that too but when was the last "full" ppv fight with no British or Irish interest involved? May/PAC?

    May / Pac comes to mind. You also have these YouTube ones but I don’t think they count. Clearly it’s rare for UK broadcasters to think an international fight warrants PPV on these shores, which is understandable given the lack of world wide superstars that have a commercial pull.

    I think one or both of the Canelo-GGGs were on BT Sport Box Office.

    I think both Canelo GGG fights were on Boxnation , you could be right about BT Sport though, they give you nothing for nothing but Pacquiao Thurman was on ITV Box Office.

    Thats why its good Sky have Top Rank shows on, now Hearn's gone. Porter v Crawford would be PPV in UK if not on Sky.

    The first fight was on BoxNation PPV (subs. got it free) and the second fight was on BT Sport Box Office.
