bring it on

Derry Matthews just shaded Tony Luiz for the interim WBA World title.
What a great fight. Liam Smith also won earlier.

Matthysse v Provodikov was excellent!! Insane fight!!

Anyone bothering with the fight this weekend?

I cant be arsed to be honest and the under card is an absolute disgrace.

Might lump a Santa Cruz/ Loma/ Mayweather treble on thought, 100 returns 158

This will happen Hearn has paid a large deposit on a wembley stadium date

Do people think they could sell out Wembley?

I'd go. The Yorkshire / Lancashire angle for Brook v Khan is something to market. As already said, an bill including Anthony Joshua and other good fighters should see interest.

Wouldnt miss this fight for anything, done a few late night (well morning in reality) fights in the past and made them to the final bell, this one is a must, wont see another one this big in a long time, if ever again. Shame it wasnt 5 years ago but still has to be done.

I think I am like many people when I say my heart says Manny and my head says Money. Probably on points. Come on Pacman.

I honestly cant get up for this fight whatsoever, I just think its been built into something its not and will only go one way.

Compare and contrast with Provodnikov vs Mathysse and I could hardly sleep I was so excited.

Yes mate, you go to the on demand and catch up TV option on your menu options, then choose the live events option and book through there. 3 or 4 clicks and you should be sorted.

I think they could sell out Wembley again they need to have a stacked card. I look at the fights that Matchroom have on for the 30th and it has 3 World title fights on it on the same night which is great. Kell Brook v Frankie Gavin , Kevin Mitchell v Jorge Linares and Lee Selby v Evegeny Gradovich also add into the mix Anthony Joshua all fighting on the same card its the best of the Matchroom bills I have seen in this year.

A wembley show needs to have. Khan v Brook , Frampton v Quigg , Bellew v Whoever in a World title fight. Also AJ on the bill again. Build AJ up and he can be a big draw around the country a heavyweight with his personality and if he can take a shot at the top he can be a big time player and fill out big stadiums around the UK.
