Eubank Jr ITV PPV fallen through?

[mfc_se15]

I've been very critical of this ongoing farce and it's never PPV but Galahad v Yefimovych is the support seemingly which is a decent fight at 126

Yefimovych is #9 with IBF and Galahad is #14.

Adam Etches rumoured to be in a decent fight as well.

Etches v ruder. Price v hammer.

Has a PPV show ever taken place in a venue with a capacity of sub-4k?

That's a cracking observation. It won't sell out either.

[fizzjambo]

If the Price, Galahad and Etches bouts come off as rumoured then it'll be a decent-ish bill. Light years from PPV worthy though

A PPV where the opponent is 16/1 in a 2 horse race and we've to pay a score to see it ? no thanks.
i worry about what our sport is becoming it's a disgrace

Etches v Ryder

[Nightmare Roy]

I'll watch it on YouTube next day. I wouldn't pay for it in a million years, sounds just like a typical free channel 5 card.PPV my left bollock.

Can someone explain the business logic of showing the undercard on ITV4 and only the main event on PPV?

I get that you might show a couple of free fights to entice people to buy the PPV (Sky do this) but surely people generally buy 'the card' and not just the main event..?

Etches v Ryder

Auto correct mate I've seen Ryder enough times live to know who he is and actually be a bit of a fan.

TV commercials.

This is all a bit mental and the whole promotion has an air of farce about it. Seems like fights are being put together last-minute which can't be great in terms of fighters being fully prepared for these undercard scraps.

[Stuarty]

Etches v Ryder a a decent scrap. I wish the Euwanks would stop being a bunch of bollocks for a minute and just have it on regular ITV! Didn't do daddy Eubank any harm!

Or if they insist on PPV make it £3-£5. They seem ambitious to the point of delusion to be honest

Fair enough if it's that price for the whole card. I'd probably buy it. There was talk of the undercard being free on ITV4 then you pay for the main event? That's just daft!

[ScottDetonator]

£12.95 for nothing basically. I'm stumped as to who will cough up the dough.

Etches v Ryder - I can see another KO loss for Adam.

[Rob3_142]

The thing I don't get, is surely there is someone in ITV that has some expert perspective on the whole thing? They can't literally be letting the Eubanks be pulling all the shots and advising?! Washing away ITV's reputation down the toilet along with any future possible PPV's. Surely an ITV producer is seeing the negative press this event is getting? They had to find a way to make this fly, and it seems they're doing everything the opposite to make this happen!

I think they are hoping that people will watch the rugby then the boxing and then not want to mix the main event that they will build up through the card.

Could work, allegedly did a lot of free to air undercard before the headline fights a couple of years ago. I think in the chisora v vitali fight they even buggered up and gave it free to everyone.

nice work tubby !

Its actually a good card. The problem they are going to have is the only fight that is not a 50-50 fight is PPV!! They should have made the whole card PPV or not at all. $13 for 1 fight...its just not going to happen.

[Zubrei]

So is it definitely only 1 fight on PPV? I've not seen any confirmation on that. I'll join the club, I'm interested in the Etches v Ryder, and interested to see if price vs hammer is a car crash. The main event is meh.

[jamesmcdonnell]

I can't help but hope this falls flat on it's arse.

It's a slippery slope when a non-event like this is being touted as a PPV 'event.'

I hope it tanks.

Oh right, I can still watch Price vs. Hammer for free?! Happy days!
