If it does it wont be anything more than itv4 with itv only showing the primetime repeat the very next night at around 10/11ish

Oh, shush with your tutting. If it's available to watch for free, then I for one will be watching. I don't think it'll lead an exodus of boxing back on to mainstream, it's just that nobody's willing to throw any money behind a fight at 2am in the UK.

If it saves me watching it on an unpredictable stream online, then it's all good in my book.

Its also good that its reported the BBC have bid for it too. At least it shows that they are interested. Although their boxing coverage was pretty bad when they were last in.

Yep, and Jim Neilly talking like he is commentating on the Queen Mother's funeral.

So if ITV dont get this we could be left in the dark here in the UK, what will we do without Khan?

Some people are hard to please.

What would you rather pay 15 fucking quid on SKY box office.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a link to an article saying that ITV had been offered the fight for free. I'm guessing the BBC heard and that's when some kind of bidding war started. I still don't think GBP will be getting much money for it though. Good news though provided one of them actually shows it.
