It was announced today for the 19th of Jan. It'll be on Showtime PPV.

As a stand alone fight it's not bad, should be reasonably good to watch and a decent clash of styles. Of course kabong is right that it's a ploy to drum up whatever interest they can for a Floyd comeback. The majority of people who buy ppvs aren't boxing fans, so like it or not that would probably still be the most lucrative fight in the sport by a good margin.

I’m going to admit right now there is an 85% chance I’ll get this. It is a bit off a toss up as I have showtime right now and a week or two after the fight they replay it.

It’s PPV? Seriously? I would in no way order this fight.

I think Showtime is making a mistake with ppv. Just like Arum did with Manny v Horn at 6 AM espn+ on a workday here. HBO is dead in the water, you are the last remaining 'premier' cable channel so give the fans a big fight to start the year. I get that it's Manny and he is milking his remaining career but I can't pay for that. FFS it's Broner . All he'll do is take my hand full of 20's and film himself using them to wipe his arse in some fast food restaraunt. True story .

They're greedy bastards (Showtime). They don't know any better.

The above comments prove my point about people Stateside being more discerning or choosy about PPV than in the UK. People debating about the values of this Whereas in the UK , we have Whyte/Chisora, Bellew/Haye (Twice) and Bellew/Cleverley ffs.
I know the cost comes into it, and for some reason PPV in the states is about 2 or 3 times more expensive than the UK . If this was in the UK, not only would it be PPV, they would probably dedicate a whole channel to this 24/7 !!
