George Groves opponent announced for 25/5 is Noe Gonzalez Alcoba

Sturm fights at middleweight and packs no punch at all. In addition to that he has not work rate... Going 12 with Sturm is not impressiv.

 

It was also 6 years ago

 

Manfredo would have been better than this guy!

Why will Bellew v Chilemba be a better fight?

 

Sky lost interest in boxing. Smith should said no have Groves on another show or better opposition he must have a say in quality.

 

This undercard is rapidly sitting at the appalling level of most of Frank's cards.

 

That makes it even worse. We have Groves in a poor fight because theres a rematch of a real stinker on the card?

Agreed. He's charging the casual £18 for this. He's just another promoter now. He's a proven liar. I genuinely thought he was different. Didn't defend everything he has done but thought he had been going about things the right way at least. If he hadnt promised so much no one would be as bothered. But fact is he promised a good quality undercard and he hasn't delivered. Not only not delivered he's lied about it

 

Did i miss a price bump aswell with the 18's kicking about?

 

Then Eddie hasn't delivered a quality card. This is absolutely appalling for a PPV - there's not a single fight I'd want to watch other than the main event. That's exactly the sort of garbage people criticise Frank for.

How is it excusable in his first ever PPV fight that Eddie has turned out something so dreadful? Sky should be pulling it from the schedule as unworthy, same as they did with Khan.

 

:good

 

This im afraid.

 

Sky lost interest in boxing because they allowed promoters to deliver ****.

Frank got his big deal and gave them WBU title fights and Hearn Snr reeled out the Taxi drivers for Chris Eubank.

They gave all the deals to multiple promoters and let them make Commonwealth title fights in leisure centers.

Then we get promised things will change. Hearn talked it up. Big Cards, No more leisure centers. PPV is back...things will be different this time...Stacked undercards!

Eddie Hearn is the Barack Obama of Boxing!

 

I agree the undercard is toss but there's a world of difference between this and the khan card.

 

No announcement yet but with wrestlemania going up to £18 I'm assuming that's not standard practice across the board. This isn't PPV worthy any more should be pulled and put on normal sky

 

Agree with this. The card should be placed on regular Sky Sports.

Froch vs Bute is pretty much equal to Froch v Kessler. The undercard no different.

Bellew v Chilemba is a terrible fight. It's on the PPV undercard because it wouldn't get approved for a regular Sky main event and it wouldn't even sell out the Olympia.
