ITV box office lol

So the cruiserweights will be shown on ITV Box Office for free, and it looks like every single Eubank and Groves fight will be pay-per-view. You can stream ITV Box Office online, right? I don't think my TV even has that channel. And I'm not paying for anything before the final anyway

Ive got ITV Box Office on Sky channel 493.

May be tempted into getting Groves/Cox if the undercard is good. But Eubanks on the same night as Burns/Crolla, don't see the point in buying it.

If its not for free on ITV 1, 2 or 4 then i'm out!

He must not be a big ticket seller

He is in Liverpool. Him and his brothers are very popular he's headlined and sold out a few shows already. I think it's more to do with the amount of fights Sky already has maybe they couldn't fit it on their schedule. Plus itv are all in on eubank jnr at the moment so they may have made the tournament a priority.

Are you telling me that Groves vs Cox isnt a PPV level fight?

Shame as i was excited by the initial announcement and figured PPV would be saved for later rounds.

At least Cruisers, the better tournament, will be free. Just a shame for boxing that this isnt getting max exposure
