    Now Eddie has pretty much admitted he's trying to make this card a ppv what does everyone think the card will look like once it's all put together

    Joshua vs Whyte - we know for definite this is the headline, of course not a ppv headliner but as proved with the rule brittania card, as long as the undercard is good the main event can just be someone the casuals like

    Bellew vs Hernandez - just a rumour at the minute but Eddie keeps talking about being on the verge of giving tony a world title shot

    Eubank jr vs Spike - Hearn reckons this is pretty much signed, a fight that could steal the show in the build up to egg people on to buy the card

    Eggington vs Gavin - this was meant for the Birmingham show this week but Gavin had to pull out, Hearn now believes it will be added to the December 12th card

    Then there's talk of burns/Mitchell and Campbell all on the card, unless Mitchell is getting another world title shot two of these 3 should be fighting each other but we all know Eddie won't do that

    Any more people have heard could happen and also how much more needs to be added to be a ppv?

    It needs 5 quality fights.

    Of those mentioned how many are truly world class fights deserving of PPV? How can you have a PPV card when only Bellew will be in a world title fight?

    Yeah I don't know if Mitchell will get a world title fight or not, he's definitely banking on the casuals wanting to see Joshua vs Whyte

    Joshua vs Whyte is a huge fight in the casuals minds, that will sell a few ppv's on its own, I know it sounds ridiculous but Joshua really has got a huge following of clueless "fans" that just want to see him pound someone so they can tweet about how much of a "beast" he is

    Hearn will feel throwing a few more fights, one possibly 2 world title fights will seal it for Eddie, especially after the "success" of the rule Brittania card

    Yeah mate he isn't in the box rec rankings either. If Hearn was really clever he would do his best to get Bellew a shot at Ramirez

    God knows but he reckons the bellew fight will be announced soon, it will no doubt be another final eliminator


    Your mate prince might get a call to face Edwards on the card if this carries on lol

    When you say quality fights do you mean world titles or the likes of Ryan v Hibbert and Ryder v Blackwell on the Rule Britannia card?
