ITV will obviously show all the PBC fights.

Expect to see Thurman vs. Lopez, Porter vs. Ugas, Garcia vs Granados and the other fights that were announced. Including Spence vs. Garcia.

I think the only fight they would have as a PPV zag this moment in time will be DeGale vs. Eubank. As it will be UK time.

I very much doubt they will show any US PPV’s as box office here. Unless it’s May vs. Pac II.

I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to make Spence vs Garcia PPV.

TBH. If anything.. if any of the upcoming fights are gonna be PPV in the UK, it would be Pacquiao vs. Broner.

Now this is good news. As much I don't like Pacman continuing his career, and as much as I dislike Broner full stop I still think it will be an interesting fight.

I’m thinking for the late shows, unless it’s a big fight we may get the US team.. why not..

Any UK shows.. we might get the usual we had for the WBSS and previous ITV pundits. I don’t mind that ex boxer who was working alongside Naz.

Sign Naz up for a full time contract, guys hopeless at breaking down a fight but if the British guy gets a gift at International level he'll slaughter the poor sod

Naz is comedy gold. I've always liked McKenzie as a pundit for all the stick he gets....

Goes to show a pretty major fight can be shown live in the UK without it being PPV and the participants still get big purses. Yet whyte vs delboy somehow cannot ? Bollocks.

Exactly! I don't exactly begrudge fighters a pay day but are Whyte or DelBoy THAT good to be commanding PPV type money? Is Tony Bellew? Load of tripe man! The age of greed!

It’s Showtime PPV so they'll still be making PPV in the US.

Exactly. Bellew was lucky he got a Haye rematch and even won. Usyk vs. Bellew was PPV greed.

Chisora and Whyte went from having a good PPV undercard fight to headlining a PPV card TWO YEARS LATER!

Matchroom/Hearn/Sky collectively are a brand now aren't they! It's the brand the casual mongs are buying, not the actual fights! You only have to read some of the retarded crayon munchers comments on YouTube! It ain't right and it's a fuckin insult to proper fans of the sport but they have a scary base of shít munching fanboys who'll open their mouths and let the brand pish straight in...... All these wet chinned fukk nuggets who'd sell their granny just for a retweet from fast Eddie!

i remember the passion and debates on american boards when pbc first started. you had the black guys taking pbc as a source of pride and defending everything pbc did (because a black guy, lord al, runs it) and the east euro boys with the opposite responses

settled down a bit now and more about the actual fights thankfully

Exactly,they could stick Joshua in with Danny Williams and the retards would fork out for a ring side ticket,the flash twats would turn up in their poncey suites, miss the whole undercard,and scream out ' hit the twat' inbetween checking their tweets and filming the whole fight on their 2 foot long £100 per month contract smart phone whilst living in a 1 bedroom rented flat that costs more than they earn :lol:
