Mayweather Vs. McGregor on ITV Box Office?

Post by chad »

Noticed ITV Box Office are showing their conference live from Wembley tomorrow starting at 6:50pm SKY channel 493.

They are expected to confirm the UK broadcaster tomorrow. Can't see they showing the conference live on ITV Box Office only for them to announce it's PPV on SKY Sports Box Office.

Major coup for ITV if this is on it.

Money wise I mean.

Other than that it's a farce

They are also showing it on Sky Sports News though. Would be funny if ITV have hijacked it from Sky after Sky chose this as their preferred fight over Canelo GGG

To be fair, sounded like Eddie didn't want the Canelo / GGG fight for Sky, when discussing the two fights on the various interviews with IFL. It suits allegedly better also, they have BJS on a card the same night and will put on a UK card on to go with the coverage.

Aj vs Klit for less than £20 or a mismatch for £60. You know I dont mind paying for stuff, but being Northern I hate being ripped off. Pub for me, they can lick my sack at that price.

I'm unsure how reliable 'Joe.co.uk' is when it comes to boxing news tbh. I suspect they have simply converted the US PPV price into GBP in order to claim the UK price is 'projected' at £60. As I'm sure we all know, the UK PPV market is totally different to the US market, and similar claims were made before the Mayweather-Pacquiao prices were confirmed.

They'll go as high as they think they can get away with.

Boxing fans are mugs and will pay 20 quid for a khan salita PPV so they know that boxing fans will pay the £60 but will the casuals?

If any of you know people who are willing to pay £60 for this, can you please forward me their details I'm having trouble getting £13 million out of a Central African country and I could use their help.

Dunno why he'd have a say but Eddie has confirmed it won't be over £20 if on sky. I'm fairly sure sky won't let this slip, surely.

Don't care what channel it's on, to be fair.

I'm not paying any money for the PPV, so not interested.

£60 sounds like bollox to me. I assume it will be the standard PPV price of £15-£20 ish. They know they won't get away with more. But then I do underestimate the level of meathead stupidity in the UK at times.

I'm not so sure, there are a lot of plebs out there, if people are willing to pay £17 to watch Eubank vs a washed up Abraham for tin pot title who knows what they will pay for this MEGA fight of the century.

This whole shitstorm is for the casuals. The guys at the watercooler in the office that know dick about Boxing or MMA will be talking about "the fight". They're all going to buy it.
