I watch most my boxing on youtube anyway. I doubt I'll pay to see this but it's potentially better value than getting TV and Sky and BoxNation and PPV. I don't even have all that crap. It should be £1.99 or something like that.
I think he doesn't have much choice. If no network picks it up he has to do something desperate like a youtube PPV.
**** sake boxing fans getting shafted again. Why do ITV not realise they need to build a base first! Eubanks fight will be carnage they should be putting that on free to air! Get the viewers hooked then do a PPV for the semi!
Seems crazy to me.whe the market was there in NZ but they choose to bring it over here and don't bother with promotion! Crazy
Very strange. Makes sense to get them on free tv with plenty exposure and then you can have a big domestic World title fight on PPV.
what a disaster! channel 5 would've been fine. boxrec have it listed as being shown on itv box office? people wont pay there hard earned cash to watch it, the undercard is poor aswell I hope parker wins by early ko
The whole deal smacks of rushed job... Probably their Plan C or D. They clearly had originally planned for BT/Boxnation hence the face off's in the ring and then thought they would get a better deal with ITV Box office.... Maybe ITV decided to ultimatly go with the WBSS deal instead who knows. There was an article in NZ where Duco said delays had been caused by Hennessey not paying Parkers purse ontime to Duco... which was a million pounds plus so they probably needed it to be some sort of PPV model to claw back as much money as possible.
