Why ?! How many monthly subs do you want to end up paying ?!

Preferably just one, but I'd take anything over Sky.

What's wrong with sky ? I am not exactly delighted at the cost of sky sports but if it's the only (legal) way to see the matchroom stable, so be it. Too many good fighters not to subscribe. I don't want to see promoters charging ten or fifteen quid for a single easy first title defence sort of show. That is not fair on fans who pay enough as it is.

Shite biased coverage, complete ripoff, any decent fight is on PPV and it's Sky Sports. I'd rather see them pull out of boxing altogether.

I`m a massive sports fan so get good value out of Sky Sports but I couldn`t justify the fee if I just had Sky sports for the boxing.I`m pleased the Brook-Dann fight is on normal sky it will get huge figures.Hearn got the last ppv card wrong but to say all his Sky Sports cards are shit is just wrong,some are good enough and some unfortunaly are not.Every card he puts on should be at least as good as two of the old ffn and some fail to get to standard and with the lack of dates it`s a shame.allegedly is upping the quality of domestic shows so well done to them.

That's the key. I have no interest in football, motorsports, golf or darts. I do like rugby but I haven't got time to follow club rugby any more, same with cricket. So Sky is too expensive for what I'd get out of it.

I like to closely follow heavyweight and cruiserweight boxing at all levels (particularly European incl British) and similarly heavyweight and light-heavyweight MMA. The lower weights I'm only really into the big international fights. I can get most of what i need from Boxnatio', Eurosport and German TV.

BT Sport might be an option for their show?

I like the streaming idea.

Nearly everyone under 25 is a cord-cutter and has neither Sky or Virgin.

If i'm gonna watch it on a shitty laptop stream i definitely aint paying for it

I'm sure you can watch PPV illegally through your TV too but i've no idea about that to be honest. Tech spaz unfortunately

You can use a HDMI cable to connect your laptop to your Television if you ever have to stream, that way you can still watch the fight on the big screen.

I heard McGuigan was in serious talks with BT sport

Wow, great news if true.

Looks like itv great news

That's mega

Lets hope they do great numbers and this reopens the doors there

That is awesome news.

great news

I was a critic of Barry but fair play to him and his team for pulling this off.

Frampton can become the next coming of ricky hatton

Confirmation:

http://www.itv.com/news/2015-01-27/carl ... ve-on-itv/

Frampton will now become a household name and a geat ambassador for boxing. Fury's following is based largely off the Channel 5 publicity. Carl will be getting more viewers that Tyson will be at the end of february.

Didn't see that one coming (ITV live). Fair play to Frampton's team, not such a bad move after all 8) .

What does this mean for the future of boxing on ITV? Coincidental after 2 threads recently about this possibility and almost everyone betting against it! Surely other top boxers will be interested in becoming house-hold names.

Wow, that sure means now that Frampton holds most of the cards now for Quigg fight, if he gets by Avalos.

Frampton is fighting on ITV !!!!!!!!!

Huge announcement. If ITV have any long term plans to stay in boxing then this is as big as the allegedly launch in terms of significance to the industry.

Huge well done to all involved, I hope this gets massive figures and lures ITV back into the sport. Domestically I could see Hatton ear's pricking up at this as well.

fvcking hell. I would imagine Mcguigans status played a big part in legitimising the deal, he will be front and centre in the pr i bet

It's not good news for allegedly who would have been hoping to pick up new subscribers for the Fury fight on that night
