Actually hasn't been decided yet, ITV, Boxnation, BT and Sky Box Office all in the running.

Sky Box Office the most likely unless BT want to make anther big statement.

There is fuck all chance this fight will be on Sky Box Office. For what Fury is worth he nor Klitschko are PPV standard fighters in the UK it would flop. So I wouldnt be shocked if it was on normal Sky. Saying that I am guessing if AJ is on the undercard which Hearn was hinting at him and Hennessy might do a deal for Sky over the others mentioned. ITV have been lucky so far since they got back in with Carl Frampton his average ratings were good. For his Avalos fight he pulled in 1.9 million people for the fight Saturday gone he pulled in 2.4 million people from ITV alone. They are also claiming from the 4 stations alone that covered the fight his last fight was watched by close to 5 million people not too bad going for Frampton.
Also I think ITV if they get into boxing again they could well bring back the glory days of Naz when he was fighting on there. Could you imagine what they would pull in for a Brook v Khan fight on ITV huge numbers. Sadly those fights wont happen on free to air tv.

Well Sky put the awful Cleverly V Bellew on PPV so its not beyond possible, casual fans of the sport love a heavy weight.
 
True about Bellew v Cleverly but Tyson hasnt been on Sky for a long long time so to see him on as a PPV fighter is a joke. With Froch now retired Hearn and Matchroom will look for a new PPV fighter and 1 name springs to mind Kell Brook is that man at the moment. Then long term would be AJ. Just hope with the amount of World Champions that this PPV bollocks is limited to 1 to 2 fighters tops not every fighter is PPV standard. I can see it becoming a PPV fight a month with some fights which wont deserve it. The fights that could be PPV at the moment in time there isnt a lot. Kell v Khan and maybe at a push Frampton v Quigg but I dont think it will sell well also Grooves v DeGale and maybe either v Callum Smith in a few years time.

Glad for the Million Dollar Crolla but sadly I think this might be like Paul Smith when he boxed Arthur Abraham in the second fight. I think Darleys Perez will be a lot better than he was. As for Quigg v Donaire more of a chance that fight wont happen. Hearn wont put Quigg in with Donaire when there is a chance of making the Frampton fight and giving Quigg the big pay day. Hearing Hearn talking of a 2 fight deal between the 2 and hearing Frampton saying he would only want 1 fight and would fight Quigg in Manchester is enough to tell you the ball is back in Quiggs court. Frampton also said no bullshit in the media regarding the fight like the check in the media and if they sit down that the fight should be made. He also said in a co promotional event as he wants some of his gym buddies on any under card too so little things which should be sorted out easy if Hearn and Quigg wants this fight so badly. Also he said if it doesnt happen he has offers in the US but he wants the Quigg fight.

Haha whats Barry got to do with it. Barry has always called for this fight. Barry is a promoter like Eddie Hearn who wants the best deal for his fighter. Granted Barry and Eddie Hearn arent the best of mates and Barry doesnt like Eddies style of how he does things. Barry is Carls promoter but Carls manager is Al Haymon these days so Eddie and Scots team will have to meet up with Carl and his team and sit down and talk about the fight. Hearn pissed off Framptons deal with the 1.5 million cheque and you cant blame Framptons team taking the fight in the US. Framptons numbers were good in the US during his fight and the American tv will want him back so he has a lot of options to think about. Also hearing that the real WBA Champion Rigondeaux is more than likely signing up with Al Haymon too you got the 2 other real belt holders manged by Al Haymon so making Frampton v Santa Cruz or Rigondeaux would be a hell of a lot easier to do than the Quigg fight. This fight should of been made years ago its a joke it hasnt been. Saying that Joe Gallagher was against the fight being made when it could of been made for a British title fight but Gallagher was having none of it for Quigg at the time. Time will tell but this fight will have to get made in the next 12 months or wont be made at all is my opinion on it.

Im sure Eddie Hearn will get it sorted after all money talks and its the biggest pay day frampton or quigg will get also if either camps have got any sense they will both stay away from Rigondeaux he would school them both on the same night .
 
I believe there's still a few thousand tickets left for the campbell vs coyle fight on saturday night i bet Eddie hearn and Matchroom promotions thought it would sell out quickly . Could it be because a lot of fight fans see the rivalry with these two fighters has a bit false and they're making it too obvious just to sell tickets or maybe people are fed up with sky tv trying to make out these are massive fight nights when they are no more than a dust up between two local lads .
 
Silva I seen Rigondeaux live in Dublin against Willie Casey for the WBA title OMG he was by far the best boxer I have seen live. Truely brilliant. I think he beats all too. Think Frampton would cause him more problems than most in the division with his power and boxing skills think that would be a close fight. Then you look at Quigg and he would be totally out classed by Rigo.

Looking at the fight this weekend. I think Matchroom will be happy with the ticket sales. The KC stadium with a pretty poor under card its some going for the 2 lads to get that many people to watch the fight live. I look at the Brian Rose fight and Carson Jones odds looks good to me after the last fight I think Rose is finished and can see Jones koing him again.
