    They desperately need Brook to come through and live up to the hype, don't they? Based on past form, he could be found wanting at the top level, but we shall see.

    I heard Eddie tried to sign him after Prizefighter, don't know what went wrong, Hearn said he'll be fighting a decent name on the Froch bill.

    He won PF and I think Hearn offered him a few fights on back of that.

    He beats Fury every day of the week for me. By KO too.

    Piece of **** to fill the dates for this season.They would of done 7 by the end of the year.That leaves 13 shows but 4 will be Prizefighter so that leaves 9 so with Bellew,Froch Brook and Framton headling shows and could fight 2 times each before the end of the season and with other fighters like Barker and Purdy the dates will be filled.

    Rees could headline a show with a world title eliminator or world title fight, also with a fight vs Murray/Mitchell.

    I dont think it will be a problem to be honest

    They have enough variation in there stable to put on 20 shows a year, 6 of them will be Prize Fighters so its not 20 Saturday night shows is it ?, well not quite, they will grow and they will get better fighters onboard, but for the time being the fighters who have been moaning there not active enough will certainly be active, thats all good, because there actually quality guys

    The other promoters are struggling, my feeling is Hearn and MR will begin to soak up the talent in the UK soon, that said its striking a balance, Eddie makes promises to his guys, if his stable is that big them promises will begin to become false, he's a solid business man as are his family, he'll know what numbers work and what don't !!

    Don't see much to worry about personally, He keeps his fighters active enough so shouldn't be to much bother plus some lads are on the come up and may headline a lower key show.
