    If you have bt sport already the fights free. If you haven't it's either £12 a month for boxnation or a similar amount for bt sport. But bt sport dont get all the fights so a boxnation subscription is best for boxing fans.

      I thought it was on that but the other guy said they putting it on PPV and that its their first PPV.

        BT and boxnation have joined forces but they don't get all the boxnation fights. So far BT have only showed the biggest shows. If canelo vs GGG is on BT you'll be alright, it won't cost you extra.

          Just to add. If you have all the BT sports channels you can watch boxnation for free anyway. Hope this helps.

            I'm in the Uk and I've been hearing guys saying the PPV price was going to be £60. Followed by comments like, "That's a rip off! Nobody is going to pay that much ... if it was like, £20 doe .."

            So yeah, starting rumours about £100, £60 tickets .. then putting them on sale for £19.95, could trick some people into believing they are getting a bargain ... "Hey, that's cheap! I'm in!"

              Frank Warren still owns Boxnation. He's done a deal with BT so they pay him to screen his channel.

              Golovkin vs Canelo will be PPV. Price hasn't been announced yet, so far as I know.

                  That will be their first PPV.

                  Price not been releeased yet I don't believe but my guess is £19.95.
                  I dunno what the deal is gonna be with that, but i've got BT Sport free on my Iphone and they let me watch the entire UFC PPV this last weekend at no extra charge so i'm keeping fingers crossed that I might get this free too! Probably wishful thinking, but if not i'll just watch it online the next morning instead

                      Nah all the UFC stuff is included with BT Sport. Including their PPV's.

                      Canelo-GGG will be PPV ontop of the subscription.

                      Exactly the same as a Sky PPV.
