    That'll be one of the taglines for the selling the PPV, "Dillian is facing the man who Tyson Fury is scared of".

    Rivas is decent but Dillian is a big lad and surely too big to be troubled by Rivas who is a midget in heavyweight terms. Holds an Olympic win over Pulev, it's a decent unbeaten name to have on his record and keeps him right in the mix.

    So not only are we going to have to pay to see the top 3 in the division fight opponents outside the top ten rankings we now have to pay to see number 4 in the division fight someone outside the top 10.

    The heavyweight division really is ****ed.

    This actually may be a decent fight but yeah since Rivas is completely unknown outside hardcore fans it will bomb - Hennessy style.

    Whyte has become a seriously arrogant b*stard, I hope Rivas batters him.

    Hearns a business man, business men lose money to chase bigger money. In this situation if he pays whyte what he demands and the PPV bombs. Hearn can provide the evidence to whyte and in turn if whyte wins offer the same offer as previous to fight Joshua.

    It's all a game of chess when it comes to money

    Am I only the only one that doesn't actually rate Whyte, Parker basically had him done, Chisora won the first fight in my view, Chisora was winning the second and Chisora is basically done anyway

    100% mate also Helenius was injured, Browne was horribly out of shape.

    When you take away all the hype, talk and boxrec surfing and you sit down and watch Whyte, he really isn't that good.

    Okolie is terrible to watch and should never be allowed on a PPV ever again. Chisora will plod after a pot-shotting Parker and lose 12-0 in a sleep inducer.
    Those fights should be turning people away , not drawing them in. Shame on fast car if he uses octopus Okolie to "stack" this card :sleep:. I hope it flops so Dillion the ducker can go back to regular Sky where he belongs :SimpHomer:

    Good card but not a PPV.
    Is Okolie-Lebedev for full WBA belt?

    I'd pay to see Okolie wobbling all over the place against a hard hitting and hard on the eye Russian. Chisora and Parker would probably be a dire affair, both are on the way out, Parker was seriously over hyped, he's just very tough.

    The one thing with Matchroom is they will hype the life out of the card to the casuals. Hearn already mentioned on IFL that Rivas is Tyson like. They will be happy with 250k-400k buys which with their promotion machine and the likes of Allen, Chisora and maybe Edwards in the undercard it would have a good chance.
