Big Boxing Thread

[McGlashan]

Listen up fella's, I've got a great business idea, it's going to make us bundles. The plan is to dilute our product and then we'll charge the customer more when we stack a card full with the good stuff.

Yeah it's pretty vile what Hearn is doing. Putting on crap card after crap card after crap card. He then puts on his first decent card in months and it's PPV. The Leeds card is a disgrace, the Birmingham one is no better. Gavin v Heerden is now off the bill and being replaced with an AJ walkover. The Newcastle card was also dreadful.  The Leeds card will do decent numbers ticket wise but that will be solely off the back of Warrington who has the biggest following of any British fighter since Hatton.

Eddie Hearn has the TV contract and using it to his advantage. When it comes to making a big fight he wants it on his broadcaster, in his fighters home town, and he'll control every single little thing possible to weight the fight in the favour of his fighter.

Look at chequegate , or not, it was clearly a smoke screen ahead of today's announcement.  Oh look we tried to make a PPV fight, it wasn't our fault it never came off but look what we have for you on May 30th.  One can only imagine how many booby traps were in the contract offered to Frampton.

For the upcoming geriatric nostalgia pantomime in Vegas, fans will be charged for admission...to the weigh in.

There's milking it and then there's this.

Wouldn't be surprised if they passed a church plate around between rounds...

Good luck to them... Anyone that is paying to watch them jump on the scales deserves to do a few quid

All money from the weigh in is going to Charity.

In that case, I hope they fill it right up, and are charging bundles

I didn't realise that, Mr Monda. Fair enough.

Are they matching the punters' hard-earned? If so, have to say fair play.

First up we have a match up fight fans are salivating over.

Who have you guys got in this one?

There's still some odds against with Baldy on Luis v Mathews. Will go off odds on.

Bazza was an absolute lock to bet against Derry Matthews

Missing the 6/4 earlier has ruined my weekend!

The workrate of Luis will give him nightmares.

6/4? I didn't see anything till this afternoon.

You know at first I thought, a slick Cuban world champ is a stylistic nightmare for Derry. His replacement, an unbeaten South American southpaw that can bang, that's a stylistic nightmare for Derry. Now he's facing Louis and it's still a nightmare fight cus the common problem in all this is that Derry is limited.

Martin Gethin, Tommy Coyle, plus the defeat to Stephen Ormond, every time those guys fights it diminishes Derry's mini revival at domestic level.

Btw how many kids does Richard Abril have?

None, he always pulls out in time.

Yeah 365 went 6/4 earlier but it didn't last the hour. Obviously went up when I was bus and I had to scratch around getting peanuts on with joke outfits. If I'd got the 6/4 it would have been my biggest bet of the year.

Derry is domestic level at best. Even at that other than the win over Crolla there is nothing to get excited about, and Crolla was largely responsible for his own downfall that night anyway.

It's also another depressingly bad British card.

A British bad card buried under a good card from the US of A
