    What a farce!!!!

    Good luck getting anyone to part with their cash for this!

    I don’t know how they can justify that fight being ppv? Smith ain’t exactly a champion

    I’m getting old and grumpy perhaps

    You're spot on. This'll get less buys than fat Micks YouTube farce.

    They really need to make this a freebie and build up the inevitable Smith-Groves final.

    Big Smith fan alongside Ramirez I think he's the best SMW out there but this is never ppv worthy. It strengthens other boxing platforms chances of feeding us rubbish ppv's by justifying it's better than this event.

    Just throwing this out there, and it’s proper cynical which i’m normally not...could it be possible that they knew Braehmer was not going to be fit before the Groves-Eubank fight, so they put the offer on where you could get both fights for £20, knowing they wouldn’t be able to sell this fight with his replacement?

    Get what you sayin and it’s a good question, but he ain’t no bum. He’s a warrior, he comes to fight & he’ll go out on his shield. Hopefully you’ll be surprised.

    The moment ITV made Eubank Jr Vs Quinlan for an IBO title PPV anything is PPV worthy in their minds.

    Well I read a theory thst makes sense. Braemer was pulled so if Groves doesn't make it he will be reserve for final. Let's face it's his best chance of getting in final. He is promoted by Kalle like Groves is and they no doubt would say he's been in tournament was unbeaten was due to fight Callum in semi and build fight of that story.

    He’s not like a lot of MT or KB guys who show up in boxing for a quick payday. He’s a driven, ambitious and a proven elite fighter albeit in a different style but not so different. Dutch MT Guys usually have great hands as a lot of top Thais have found out, just think “Ramon Dekkers”. Point being from his point of view it’s a dream opportunity that has fallen into his lap. Many MT & KB fighters dream of a situation like this....he’s a proud warrior who’s used to winning, he’s in it to win it.

    But for Nicky & the viewers I just hope Smithy isn’t too many “boxing” levels above him.....which I expect he is and I hope even in losing Nicky plants a serious flag in the boxing world.

    After last weeks debacle I think their PPV platform will see less buys regardless.

    A complete and utter farce!!!
