I looked last night for it on the planner.

What's happening with the fight? Is it not being shown live?

Bit of a pain, not sure why they're doing that or what purpose it really serves, but I'll just avoid the result (very easy to do with this fight) and watch it tomorrow on demand.

I think it's a mistake to put some of the quarter finals on ppv. They should have shown them on itv1 then they could have built the competitions up for ppv at semi and final.

When a fight like this can't get TV coverage, the sport is fucked.

I won't be able to avoid the result so will have to stream. Really stupid decision by ITV considering the shite they put on ITV2, 3 and 4 most nights. They only had to clear an hour to show the main event here.

A lot of these broadcasters seem to live in the stone ages.

I don't know what everyones complaining about, do you all really expect ITV4 to cancel their showing of the 1977 Clint Eastwood film The Gauntlet?

Really stinks, was looking forward to this fight. Will know result if I have a bet on it.

Can't believe they are going to ask for PPV money for Groves, Eubank etc?

Was looking forward to this tourney, now looks as though I'll miss over half of it.

The sad reality is that 'the gauntlet' will probably do better viewing figures than what Usyk-Huck would. Which is probably the reasoning.
