    I'm 32 mate so wasn't really a massive boxing fan when he was in his prime but remember seeing a few of his fights on Sunday morning repeats and becoming a massive fan.

    I remember that I am pretty sure I bought the first Bradley one and 3rd JMM fight on primetime , but they were top fights back then and I didn’t have a problem shelling out £15 for those.
    Absolute warrior and more importantly an elite fighter, shame he never boxed Hamed that would have been epic.

    They probably got the rights due to showing past pbc fights, although most have been free to air

    It's actually a really, really good card. Obviously won't be paying for it, seems an odd decision for them to make it PPV at all tbf

    No he’s beaten no one. His best win is a razor thin decision against Shawn Porter who is far from elite and Kell Brook beat handily years before he did. Timmy had already unified at 140 (and actually beaten belt holders) before going up to welter.
