Whyte / Parker fight is actually a god scrap but putting it on PPV is a fucking joke from Hearn, the horrible greedy cockney twat, which is a shame because everybody is complaining about that instead of praising the fight.

 

It could be alright if he does what he did with that Brook/Gavin card back in 2015.  When he had Brook/Gavin (IBF world title), Gradovich/Selby (IBF world title), Linares/Mitchell (WBC world title), Ryder/Blackwell (British title) and it had a green Anthony Joshua fighting Kevin Johnson too.  That was a boss card, which didn't have any stand out big names on it.  So here's hoping he does something like that with this.

It'll be a mixture of Sky and Hearn. Apart from Joshua (and Bellew v Haye), Matchroom currently don't have many stand out PPV fights or fighters. Obviously they have a contract saying they need to do X amount of PPV shows so this is probably something he thinks is close to being PPV.

 

I'm sure Parker won't be cheap either. I agree with you saying it needs a decent bill though. It'll probably be Buatsi, Okolie, Fowler etc... That sort of thing. Fowler v Cheeseman would be a decent fight on that bill. Still needs a decent co event. Brook apparently is rumoured to be it.

I'm sure I read that he has to put on 6 PPV's a year.  Sky massively overpaid for the footy, so they're trying to get it back anyway they can.  I'm very surprised he hasn't put Chisora / Whyte 2 on PPV.

Yeah, that was the number I had in mind too.

 

Joshua v Parker

Bellew v Haye 2

Whyte v Parker

Joshua v whoever is lined up for summer time and then probably a late one

 

So one more after this. Can't think who'd be PPV worthy in all honesty.

Khan/Brook?  Doubt it gets made like but you never know.  I did read that he was thinking of bringing the new Pacquaio moving circus to England for Khan. That would sell and it's very easy to make now Pacquiao is basically just a Harlem globetrotter attraction.  Failing that, Bellew/Ward?  Bellew/WBSS winner?  He could sign free agent Degale on a one fight deal and do Groves/Degale2 or not sign Degale if Smith wins and do Smith/Degale?  Can't think of much else.

 

I wonder if Sky/Eddie will pick up the WBSS this season too, they could do some stuff with that Bantamweight one.

I reckon there's bound to be a few other decent fights on it, considering that whyte Parker isn't even a title fight.

It's absurd and dangerous.

Seferi is gonna hit the deck after the first semi-hard punch he takes.

Then he's gonna fuck off back to Albania with his sack of cash pissing himself laughing.

 

Then Fury will brag about being the king coming to take his crown back, maybe even sing a song.

 

And at the end of it we'll have learned fuck all about boxing.

I know it's all a load of bollocks but it is still a professionally licensed boxing contest. 4st gap between fighters is ridiculous.

I know it's not the same thing but Valuev was regularly in fights with about 6-7 stone difference.

I thought Fury still looked overly flabby, looks like a middle aged body

He did but good on him for getting back down to the weight he is at the moment and overcoming everything he has. I'm not his biggest fan but good on him.

 

I wish he was in with a better opponent tomorrow night. Not saying a top 10 obviously but at least someone whose a natural heavyweight.
