Comments Thread For: Haymon, PBC To Invade UK Market: Starting With DeGale-Eubank

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Al Haymon is preparing to move into the British boxing market from January by staging a fight between James DeGale and Chris Eubank Jnr on ITV Box Office. The respected manager - long considered the sport's most powerful individual - has until now resisted the temptation to make fights in the United Kingdom despite having worked with some of the highest-profile British fighters, but is nearing an agreement for DeGale v Eubank Jnr to take place in London.

Be rooting for degale in this one. Surprised someone has managed to deal with eubank to get it done.

Not a bad fight but not PPV, sorry..

[lolasif]

Not interested in Degale - Eubank, but it would be great to get the PBC cards on ITV.

Seriously? I thought everything was a PPV over there?

Haymon taking over the world.

Not with shows on itv box office he won’t. If he can replicate what he’s done in America and get boxing on free tv on a big channel then maybe.

[Sparked_26]

American shows? Nice one.

Presumably free because zero people would pay for them.

I’ve said before that Hearn needs comp and ITV is the way in

[1hourRun]

Good for the UK, there's hope that these Brits finally get to pay for a ticket thats worth something, contrary to the rubbish Eddie Hearn and Warren serves them on a regular basis with their local worthless crop

: the Rocky Fieldings, Kell Brooks, Connor Benn, Billy Joe Saunders, Lewis Ritzon's, Anthony Yarde, Josh Kelly, Katie Taylor, Callum Smith, Ryan Burnett, P.U!

[Straightener]

More fights the better
