    To be honest, while I hate how he went about it, it made me cringe and I wish he didnt do it... it was poor taste and low class with something that should have been done in the office, but... I get why he's pissed.

    Him vs Parker is most likely the real reason most of the people in attendance are showing up, yet its the undercard, and he's not making what he thinks he should for it.

    Stupid and low to do it how he did... but I get where hes coming from.

    Maybe if Chisora won more meaningful fights he'd get to headline more cards?

    Funny thing is chisora haas absolutely nothing to do with the current semi popular state of the heavyweight division. He's completely irrelevent

    The fight is in London. Chisora is com8ng off two wars with Whyte and Parker has fought AJ in front of 70,000 and also had a war with Whyte.

    These are two big heavyweights who are well known with the casuals coming in off highly entertaining wars.

    You could walk down the street in London and it'd take you an hour to find someone who knows Taylor or prograis FACTS.

    It is what it is, Chisora v Parker will generate more $$$ than the stunted growth guys.

    A very select few are tuning in to see a card just because chisora is on it

    I beg to differ. This fights at his home. His has an excellent following in England, we love a good underdog and hes one of the best, always puts on a good show.

    As notjustcasual said, Chisora generates interest, in a way the headliners cant.

    I think youre underestimating Chisoras popularity. Him and the parker fight is almost without question the draw of that card, for those in attendance.

    Chisora was just hyping up a fight and drawing attention to it like he gets paid to, no more than that.

    Funny when Wilder does all this talk about killing a man it’s “competitive talk” but nobody else is allowed to do the same.

    Chisora needs to get with the times, he can only beat carefully selected opponents now. He ain't making no real noise in the division like that and is a supporting act status. Taylor and Prograis is one of the best fights of this year, only the Matchroom FC casuals really believe that he is the draw on this card.

    Bravado. Eddie Hearn was probably in on it.

    Nothing has changed as far as I can see - he's still on the undercard. Perhaps he should have said all that before he signed the contract.

    He’s 100% correct. Remove Chisora vs Parker from the card and see how many turn up or how many PPV’s they do.

    Hi mr chisora, your manager/lawyer here.

    Remember that bit of paper you signed? You DO? Yes. That’s called a CONTRACT. And by golly, you seemed happy enough with the undercard and the money then.
    Maybe you don’t remember half as.sing your average career, but by Jove, the fans certainly do!

    As your lawyer I recommend you gnaw on any bone mr Eddie Hearn desires to throw at you as you are at the point where you are one bad loss from retirement.

    Regards

    Your lawyer

    Mr greedy he glassed muh Mcc.unt

    Total unification match-up with exciting champions in a strong weight class worldwide and internatonally...

    VS

    Borderline journeyman who will likely lose.

    Who's more important?
