    Not too bad,

    Carl Froch v George Groves - WBA & IBF Super Middleweight Title Fight
    James DeGale v Brandon Gonzales - IBF Super Middleweight Final Eliminator
    Jamie McDonnell v Tabtimdaeng Na Rachawat - Vacant WBA Bantamweight Title Fight
    Kevin Mitchell v Ghislain Maduma - IBF Lightweight Final Eliminator
    Anthony Joshua v Matt Legg

    I think there may be a couple more added too

    Programe starts at 6 and if Froch v Groves will be a 22.00 - 22.30 start there could be some long waits if a couple of those end early

    DeGale should fight Kell Brook at a CW for the "Final Eliminator Trophy"

    Degale will go the distance I expect. Joshua and McDonnell end very early.

    "Degale will go the distance I expect. Joshua and McDonnell end very early"

    Yeah, and if Mitchell wins in 3 or 4 rounds then there will be a lot of padding going on. A couple more 6 rounders wouldn't go a miss

    This undercard is very disappointing.

    This would be an average PPV if it wasn't for the attendance.

    pretty **** to be honest, lets not lie. If Hearn reads people saying this is anything other than a disapointment then he will keep feeding us sugar coated ****

    The Degale fight is nothing to get excited about. Branden Gonzalez is no world beater, this is just so he gets mandated to fight the winner of Froch Groves so all Hearn is doing here is setting himself up his furture shows

    McDonnell who gives a **** about that big eared donny

    Mitchel in ANOTHER final final final eliminator, only on this cus hes from London

    AJ vs Matt Legg :lol::rofl:rofl:rofl

    **** card

    Eddie Hearn has stated this is the greatest night in British boxing history.

    Yeah right. Two 50/50 fights and a three mismatches. With 20,000 tickets still unsold.

    There will be more touts in Wembley on May 31st than boxers.

    It's disappointing. Hearn had chance to put a good card around this, but if this is the best Hearn can do on what he says is the greatest night in British boxing history then we've not got much to look forward to in the future.

    It's poor for such a mega show, AJ against a can, McDonnell for a fake belt against a nobody, Mitchell in another final final eliminator, Degale in a decent fight against a gatekeeper level fighter. All in all for such a big card it's poort 3/10 from Hearn missed opportunity to have such a great card.

    I think it's looking pretty good, people will always complain though, they like to complain about everything. A world title fight plus 2 final eliminators and Joshua probably knocking someone out early. Eddie has said there will probably be a floating fight, maybe a 6 rounder at some point in case of an early stoppage. Besides, most people purchase the ppv for the main event, not the undercard.

    :deal

    You know what they say, you know you're doing something right when you keep getting slagged off. What do people expect, Ali/Frazier? :rasta
