I don't think anyone can deny the undercard is very good.

The event as a whole is very watchable indeed. Don't agree with the main event being PPV. Let's wait and see what happens. The undercard is supposed to be free on ITV4 however boxing fans on social media have made it clear the Eubank Jr. fight on its own being PPV is a joke but the full card being PPV would somehow be more justifiable. Hopefully ITV don't agree and put the whole show behind a pay wall. Would gladly watch the undercard for free with a few beers and skip the main event.

Yeah I like the card actually , surely ITV are gonna realise showing the undercard on ITV4 is a massive own goal though, I cant see them just having Eubank Jr on the PPV

Yes , no mention of the rest of the bill being on ITV4

Wonder if the powers that be have changed their mind and stick the whole lot on ppv

If all us moaning pudenda hadn't kept whinging, they wouldn't have cottoned on

£9.95 for a cheap night in is tempting but the opponent is just to weak. More interested in the Price vs Hammer fight.

[veriton]

watching that last night was a reminder that when itv put their mind to it, they can come up with a high quality production. really impressed with the way the show was presented, very professional.

i love bocksnation, but sometimes it does feel a bit fanzine. im slowly being tempted to pay a tenner, but if price is for free i aint gonna bother.

Genuinely can't believe people are considering paying for this. Boxing fans are fvcking mugs, no wonder we're the only ones who get shafted with PPV.

This.

Ultimately you have to consider people's financial situations and how much they value these kind of entertainment packages at. A lot of my friends would think I am mad paying £75 a month for my sky and broadband but I'm perfectly happy doing that.

I won't be paying if it is just the Eubank fight as PPV but if the whole card is then I may just have to as I do want to see some of the undercard fights.

Agreed

For example I will pay PPV for Joshua/Klitschko, and would watch this card if it was on regular Sky Sports / ITV4. But I straight up refuse to pay extra to watch this card. I will watch it on YouTube the next day. Eubank Jr is an entertaining fighter, and there is some entertaining fights on there, but absolutely nothing PPV worthy.

That's what the fast forward is for !!.
Not allowed to watch boxing live every Saturday.
But I agree, It would have been a better promotion all around if they had shown more boxing and less ppv ads.

It said last night that the show starts at 7pm on ITV box office so it must be the full card for 9.95 which isn't too bad to be fair. I'll wait and see what I'm doing that weekend as its my birthday but if I've nothing on and I'm in with the Mrs and kids I might cave and buy it.

[ScottDetonator]

Good production from ITV last night, shows they can do it with style. The whole around team was great and commentary enjoyable.

Richie and Ronald are a steady knowledgeable duo, even if Ronald brings a few out of the box expressions and comments, they both work well over the fight.

Slight gripe aimed at Sky Sports at the minute, with Froch and Smith. Froch is going a bit over the top and shouting almost. Smith shows too much favoritism and repeats a lot of the same quotes and also, tends to talk over the corners in-between rounds. Let the fight breathe! You don't have to fire constant dribble. Make it observational and informative. Don't shout!

Plenty of PR for the Eubank Jnr fight last night but don't get caught up in all the hype. It's a 'down the card' fight for a main event and those that have paid for it, will feel robbed.

You are basically paying to see the Eubank's strut about like kings after the main event, knowing they have just sold you this dross as PPV. Then the claims of 'unbelievable' and 'One off fighter', 'true warrior' and Golovkin, DeGale etc. next. Give me a break!

Froch is trying way too hard on sky. Reminds me of Lewis on HBO. You just get the feel he's trying way too hard. Shawn Porter is a terrible commentator in that way too. Growler Smith is just the most dismal of all.

Yeah that's right mate. ITV tweeted to today to confirm that the whole show is PPV. Annoying as I was actually looking forward to the under card.

Come back Glenn McCrory, all is forgiven

McCrory was booked to after dinner speak at a RL club near me this Christmas. When the guy who runs it picked him up at dinner time, he was arseholed. After consulting the rest of the committee, they decided he couldn't go on. He demanded his £800 fee, but they told him to go away. To appease the sell out crowd, they put £1 pint on. Glenn started carrying on over his fee and got thrown out. He started banging on the window asking if he could at least come in for the pound a pint!

Well this is not good news. Mean's I'll have to wait for the following days YouTube uploads to watch the fights!

Eubank jr has over 500 hundred thousand likes for this event on his Facebook page, so don't be surprised if he makes killing on this just from the casual fan.

As we've stated many times before, likes on Facebook/Twitter mean absolutely nothing, it's just people clicking buttons thoughtlessly. It's totally different to actively making a conscious decision to spend your own money on something.
