    I think Groves v Cox and Eubank's first fight will be PPV.

    Both Groves and Eubank's first fights will be PPV as per the rights press release. That's a bit of shame.

    Usyk/Huck is billed as post fight on demand coverage so I'll take that to mean not live. Rather disappointing as well.

    Called it.

    Bit of a shame? If Eddie and Sky were doing the same this place would go mental.

    No way people will buy a PPV for Groves on the 07/10 and then pay again on the 14/10 for Eubank.

    These will both flop.

    ITV are doing a Charlie bucket. Got a golden ticket then went and lost it.

    Eddie Hearn was right when he said BT and ITV getting involved in boxing will see many more PPV's.

    Certainly defeats the idea that Sky are the problem and without Sky boxing would be on free tv.

    Sky have certainly ran with this PPV model. When people pay for PPVs that are not PPV worthy then this is the result.

    What other sport does this happen in?

    Agreed, unless they could work it where their is one fee and you get both fights? PPV's of that quality back to back will not work.
