WTF is going on with UK boxing PPV's?

I really cant see what ITV are going to achieve trying to cram this many PPVs into just a few months. Unless the price of each is massively reduced. They would surely be better off putting at least the QFs on free TV and buulding a bit of momentum for the Semis and the final.

Yeah I agree with this. Either of the three Groves/Smith/Eubank fighting each other for a world title is a worthy PPV at a good price.

But putting Eubank Jr against some random guy on PPV is awful as well as Groves/Cox, I mean do they really think the whole domestic thing will sell for someone who hardly anyone has ever heard of?

Insanity.

But they have a few other fighters like Brook and Bellew who wont fight without PPV money now even though they are probably not that popular.

Brook/Spence fight was said to have bombed badly on PPV. Don't think you'll see Brook on PPV headliners for a long time. The current rumor is Brook will be at 154 on the undercard for the December Sky PPV.

Most likely fighting for one of those ABC contender titles to build up to a world title fight in 2018 which will most likely be away and not on box office.

I've heard Cotto is the target.

Nobody gets robbed like the boxing fan. It's 21 years since the first UK PPV which was Tyson vs bruno and we've been getting shafted ever since. You either pay or you dont get to see these fights because ive never enjoyed streaming them illegally.
