    ...and Frank slags off Haye/Khan/Hatton/Froch..... yet all their last opponents were not there to lose!

    So this is going towards the mugs who've paid for Boxnation?

    To me this is a Bellew comeback fight. Absolute joke, he started his career at Welterweight

    Cloud, Shumenov, Hopkins, Dawson, Pascal, Bellew 2, Erdei, even Diaconu, or at least his mandatory! They couldn't find one decent opponent!

    It is really sad when Frank does this.

    It's amazing that after the Bellew fight they dismissed a rematch as they claimed they were going on to bigger things.

    To be fair, Fonfara has beaten Manny and Castillo, and lost on points to Medina*. . .

    Probably will be worth a watch though, to see what the commentators try to do to talk this one up.

    All the people asking for a Tavoris Cloud or Jean Pascal are being a tad unrealistic. To bring over an elite level world champion or contender would likely take a high six figure fee or even close to seven figures, and the reality is that BoxNation will not be able provide anywhere near enough revenue for that to happen.

    Fonfara isn't a good opponent but the reality is that Light Heavyweight has a decent top 10 but outside that it seriously lacks depth, hopefully this isn't the opponent but if he there are hardly a long list of opponents who would be better for the money that they have available.

    Also seeing as most of the people who are moaning have admitted that they have yet to subscribe, they can hardly act self-righteous and disgusted about the quality of this opponent seeing as BoxNation is a subscription channel. The quality of the match making should correlate according to the number of subscribers they are able to get (although with this being an FW Channel I would understand and agree if you were sceptical about that) and if that isn't too many as we know it won't be, you can hardly expect too much from them.
