Originally posted by BodiesInFlight View PostITV used to be the boxing channel in the UK, they came back last year with the WBSS but any half decent fight was put on PPV. But seeing as the PBC cards will be mainly American fighters on in the early hours that shouldn't be the case this time. Looking forward to see how it pans out here.

But what this does is get his UK fighters some dates along with get his US cards picked up by a UK network. Remember, Warren is now exclusive to ESPN+ and stopped picking up PBC cards, and SKY linked up with DAZN. So there was no UK broadcaster picking up PBC fights anymore.
What will be interesting will be if Haymon/Schaefer are able to pick up any of the Team GB fighters after the 2020 Olympics. That's what will need to happen as right now his UK stable is pretty bare. A few years ago with Frampton/Degale/Selby/Khan in their primes or close to their primes it was different. Now either those guys are washed up or left elsewhere.
Good for the UK fans though, get the PBC cards picked up without having to stream them.
