      Great news for British boxing, it will make fight much more accessible to the public.

      The Fury vs Chisora fight was on terrestrial TV hopefully this will continue as well.

      Boxing seems to be growing again in Britain, this will get more people involved in the sport and British boxing will go from strength to strength.

      The UK already punches above it's weight this move could make Britain an even bigger force on the world boxing stage.

      PPV in America will continue to kill the sport, no wonder America cannot produce the great champions like they did in the past before PPV.

        Boxers should now switch to terrestrial TV because they will get more exposure there for about the same money.

            The only pain in the arse is GBP have pissed off to Primetime because Sky told Khan and his murky lot to take a running jump with their ****tyty fight cards they were trying to sell as PPV attractions which means the Mayweather and all usual GBP fights that Sky used to broadcast up for FREE will now be on PPV with the monkeys also known as PrimeTime.

            Primetime are a bunch a cowboys who can suck on my spuds before I pay them another penny for a PPV.

            Someone Knock Khan out so he comes back to Sky with his tail between his legs and GBP can come along with him eating humble pie too! Tossers.

                  I have just been on their website. They are selling Alex Reid vs Jason Barret (the guy Jordan used to date who has a TERRIBLE MMA record for a tenner!!!)

                  I really can't see them giving away that card for free even if it is 4am...But I hope you are right!

                    Mayweather doesn't sell that well in the UK. Only British fighters get PPV in the UK.

                    Mayweather and Pacquiao fights will be shown on Sky as they have done in the past, unless they fight a well known British fighter.


                    Sky use to take the biscuit with their PPV shows, you used to pay your money and you would still have the adverts every 3 minutes.

                      PPV makes a few boxers super-rich but majority of boxers have lost out becausr of PPV. lets hope boxing moves to itv where the mass have access.
