ITV testing their technology with Eubank ?
Posted: 06 Jan 2017, 09:02
Matt Christie in his editorial in the Boxing News this week mentions that ITVs Director of Sport is a huge boxing fan, and that the Channel's return to boxing is 'long term'. We should all be delighted and there is the hint in the article that after the Eubank v Nobody PPV fiasco, it will be free to air all the way.
It makes me think that here' s the answer to the incredible nonsense of the Eubank fight having to be paid for. ITV are simply testing the PPV technology and are not particularly interested in the figures. Their tests are going to struggle in terms of how the public interface with their ordering procedure. Because NOBODY is going to pay a single peso extra to the watch the garbage. Apparently the undercard will be free and then the programme will shift to the Eubank fight. At that point the national grid can switch to wind power only and save on coal and nuclear energy!
I can only say, well done to ITV, welcome back, and I sincerely hope their PPV system blows a gasket.
