Any american complain about this because they don't like eddie hearn is not a real boxing fan.

They have the 2 finals. Hearn has already said Sky wont have the 2nd season. Hope ITV don't get it again, £15 PPVs for Burnett, Taylor and whatever other Brits enter the 3rd weight. Americans think they've got it bad.

Im pretty sure with ITV boxoffice you just register and get a free account and can watch the usyk / gassiev fight. I dont think it's a payment thing unless you want the paid on demand stuff they supposedly have on there.

Yeah, I paid for one of the fights, think Groves/Eubank, didnt bother with the others, were no way PPVs. Think the 2 finals are going to be PPVs though, what Ive seen rumoured.

Hopefully TBA is Featherweight


They need to put in some big names Americans at least heard of

[PotentialToast]

Bantamweights will be excellent. 3 x champs inc. Tete who everbody avoids now

[Scipio2009]

Me too, but still, with the quality of matchups, I still can't believe HBO or somebody else didn't try to get these fights. The fact that Usyk/Gassiev won't be shown in the US is ludicrous

Doubt that the fight was pitched a la carte; Usyk-Gassiev is a good fight, but is it a good enough fight to warrant having to purchase the full 7-event tournament? I don't think so.

[Kezzer]

Why would you want it on SKY when ITV literally stream most of the fights for free. With sky you have to pay for subscription

Sky is part of the subscription most of itv are ppv.

Quite true. When I saw the announcement I just thought "Great news. Guess that snake is getting my money after all" I'm really looking forward to the bantamweight tourny (140 is up in the air now that Crawford is gone, and would love to see a stacked 175)

Though I'm pissed that DAZN didn't get the rights to the CW finals. I also can't be mad at why no American broadcasters picked this up. First year tournament, two weight classes that historically nobody in North America really cares about (CW has always been looked at as a stepping stone division, which is sad since it's so much more of a powerhouse than HW is right now) and SMW is a division that it seems only UK fighters really hang around in for some reason. Yes the CW finals have been incredible, but it was a gamble. If there were upsets and the finals were Huck vs Dorticos nobody would have cared nearly as much. (though I'm a big fan of Dorticos. Hoping he can bounce back)

i'm thinking it will be MW or LHW. At MW there is a traffic jam caused by all waiting for a shot at Canelo and Golovkin and I see more chance of Canelo GGG doing a third fight than either fighting Jacobs or Charlo. BJS would have to belt up or shut up plus there - is D-chenko and fillers like o'Sullivan and Lemieux and maybe Eubank jr. But LHW is the most obvious - that division has been stifled for years by Stevenson and is loaded with talent.

Apparently (rumours on here) is Kalle is lining up the light heavies because he wants another heavy-er tourney before he does the actual heavyweights themselves. That can only mean the 175 ers are next. Happy days. Middle and Welterweights will take ages to sort out.
