    If the Dappy support gig ends up being off then consider the event cancelled.

    I understand Richard Towers v Gregory Tony 2 will be the replacement.

    The way I read this is that ARD are no longer broadcasting the whole event or am I wrong? That is more why I felt this was significant. Not particularly surprising that a good support fight drops off of one of this card once tickets are sold.....

    Can't Pov find a short time replacement?
    It's not like Rahman was that good a opponent anyway... why not give Grant a ring (same class and type at this point)?

    edit: no wait, isn't wba ranked

    They decided against showing Haye/Chisora due to the licencing controversy.

    what a shame, 95% of people don't care about any of the other fights aslong as Haye V Chisora goes ahead

    That's the case all over the world. The arena is always half empty until the main event. Most people don't know about the fighters on the undercard.
