How can he get a rough time when he's supposedly silenced his critics?

Are you pissed?

If you're after casual sex you're not my type.

I was hoping for something more long term tbh!

Easy night for Kell. Dan wasnt in his league, not sure how he was no1 contender.

Calling Khan out, trust what Eddie Hearn says as far as i can throw him though.

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

Do people think they could sell out Wembley?

Frampton vs Quigg on the undercard, with Joshua and maybe another world title then maybe get around 60,000

Frampton v Quigg would be big enough to do about 20 000 in Belfast if not more in my opinion. I just think that fight would be on its own. Even if i think he 2 fights would sell out Wembley aswell. On that card you could have Khan v Brook , Frampton v Quigg , Fielding v Callum Smith , Jousha out against David Price the card writes itself. Saying that it would be some amount of talkin to be done from Framptons team and Khans team to get the best deal possible and I think Hearn will find it hard to please everyone sadly.

2 ppv events in May on sky box office. Stretching the patience of fans there who already pay shitloads for a subscription

 

[NipHolmes]

Warren uses his son as a cover for another business, Queensbury. Unpaid boxers and he's being sued for over £4million by his stable of fighters and their managers/trainers. If Fury gets KO'd anytime soon say goodbye to Fisheyes and his Channel.

Sky gone to shit since F1 has taken a chunk out their budget, Matchroom have monopolised the market and stacked cards are a thing of the past already and now it's name v professional loser.

Fight I hope to see this year.
Stevenson v Kovalev
GGG v Ward
Thurman v Bradley
Frampton v Rigondeaux (the latter is the best boxer on the planet imo, shame it took so long for him to defect and become pro, race against father time now)
Crawford v Garcia
Lomachenko v Walters

If we get two of the above fights we will be very fortunate.

 

[buckshot]

I think Stevenson and Kovalev will happen so that would be one.

Yeah seems some big fights will happen. The Frampton v Quigg fight might not happen in the summer sadly. Frampton team are pissed with the offer of 1.5 million with it being on box office and if it does the numbers that Hearn thinks then Quigg will get the bigger money compared to Frampton. Which is crazy. As Carl will be bringing more to the fight compared to Quigg. Until that changes then the fight wont go ahead. Rigondeaux has offered to fight Quigg for a fraction of that 1.5 million but there is no chance of it. They should make it mandatory that Rigo v Quigg is to happen and get rid of the 2 titles in 1 organisation makes there title look cheap.

Lamont Peterson v Danny Garcia tomorrow, anyone watching it?

 

[Balti]

Khan/ Kell is the one

bring it on

 

[yeseye]

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

 

[argyle]

Matthysse v Provodikov was excellent!! Insane fight!!

 

[ell]

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

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.
