    I think Matchroom thought they had ages and that the under card would sort itself out then as time ticked by the options became limited and we're not left with much now. Bellew/Chilemba has snoozefest written all over it again and Groves is obviously going to be a knock over job opponent so not that impressed overall. Couldn't give a **** about the champs league final either it's a terrible idea to lump two sports together in a PPV card anyway, Pascal/Bute however I am very excited about!

    true boxing fans who go to shows all round the country at all levels will feel that a bill with george groves on, bellew on, froch vs kessler on is value for money. bellew fight will be good imo, he knows he really needs to make it exciting otherwise no **** will tune in to him, the fact the first fight was so **** is a positive sign for the rematch

    They ****ed up with the undercard. Should have had fights lined up a long time ago. Thing is 1 decent fight for Groves or Barker would have made a great card.

    when you are paying Kessler 2 million then it sort of limits how many fights you can put on!
     
  9. cant believe they didnt get barker on the card

    having a ppv on the night of the biggest club football match of the year isnt a smart decision either.

    I find it so frustrating that Hearn put more effort into the Haye undercard in 10 seconds than he has for Froch/Kessler.

    He's following the failed blueprint for PPV's of the recent past in this country/on SKY. Charge loads but save money on the event itself. Doesn't work.

    When will we hear more about fights on the undercard because as it stands, it is appalling.

    Exactly how I feel. Haye is on PPV and we get **** undercard. Froch-Kessler deserve to be on PPV then get a **** undercard. Haye is relegated too normal sky sports and gets a top notch undercard. It doesn't make sense to keep following failed models to me. The Haye card is going to do massive numbers though

    2 million?

    What on earth for?

    Robert Guerrero is only getting 3 million and he's fighting Floyd Mayweather in probably the highest grossing fight of the year.

    Looks like The Eagle needs a new opponent judging by Boxrec..

    Edit: Erick Ochieng ‏@ErickTheEagle 2 May
    @TheBoxingAtlas I am schedule to be in the ring with a great performance @June 22th. Venue and opponent to be confirmed!

    Judging by that, May 25th undercard is getting lighter..
