    I'd get your money on that Logan guy, has an college level atheltic background, taller, heavier, seems a bit of a gimme

    KSI somehow nicked the first one. But with no headguards I’m backing a Logan Paul TKO.

    Any ideas how many rounds?

    If Billy Joe Saunders fed the homeless, people would criticise his choice of food. Why on earth is he being criticised for fighting on this card? The main event is a celebrity fight but they need real boxers to fill the card. If the money is decent, he'd be mad not to take it. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a boxing match, in a boxing ring, against a fellow professional boxer. What difference does it make who's the main event?

    Is BJS confirmed for it?
    Hearn was saying earlier that it's gonna be an all pro undercard. Good chance that Eddie will get a few names on this and actually make it a good card.

    I've heard Saunders' name mentioned more than any other.

    It was also a cracking fight - both gave their all using their own boxthing styles.

    The event was huge

    Here's a question; why was the first fight in Manchester? Two American youtubers, yea? Hard to believe they sold out the MEN. I can understand huge global PPV sales but to sell 21,000 tickets is nuts!

    I wasn't aware of that. Tbh I'd never heard of either before the first fight and still have no idea what they do apart from "youtube" which I assume is making random videos.

    KSI started out doing videos of him playing Fifa. Fair play to him.

    Absolutely. Amazing what people can do these days to make money but best of luck to them.

    Agree with you but maybe feeding the homeless is a poor example. With BJS’ track record he’d feed them sandwiches filled with dog**** or something, then video them eating it while laughing hysterically and offering Galahad £10k to punch one of them.

    Saunders has zero fanbase. Look at the crowd for his 'homecoming' fight.

    He needs something different. Being on this card will get him some new fans.

    Wonder if its ppv in the uk. I guess it depends what time the fight is scheduled for in the US. It may not be the usual late night entertainment. If thats the case it'll be closer to prime time here...
