    Fight is verbally donne.

    Just going through the paperwork now.

    All indicates it is Saudi Arabia.

    Hearn himself discarded Vegas, London is at last position as they cant guarantee nothing.

    The billionaire in the racing is probably the Russia offer.

    Basically yeah. It's a poor imitation of his actually Cockney father.

    I expect them to make an absolute fortune on the UK PPV with between 2.5 million-3 million PPV buys shattering the record on both Sky Box Office and BT platforms. Also they were holding out for a massive site fee which I believe the Saudis/MBS will pay.

    I like both guys, but if they do not fight in the summer, I am done with both of them.

    I can understand if they want to wait until the money is there, but it was not right to dangle a carrot in front of the fans for a year.

    I know a lot of others feel the same, so they better hope that the site is real, and they had better avail themselves of it. Or they may NEVER make the money they want.

    There is too much money in this fight for it not to happen.

    This fight is very good for boxing, it will get everyone talking about the sport again. It crosses over into the mainstream sports pages internationally.

    Let’s now hope they don’t mess this up. And the fight goes ahead with above aboard refereeing and judging.

    He went to an elitist private school, there is no way that accent he puts on is genuine. Having worked with many people from the private school system over the years, you can hear his real accent sneak through at times.

    He doesn’t speak at all like someone from Essex, or like a cockney. Despite his best attempts to drop in some slang words.

    I know he doesn't sound like the real deal, I'm saying he's putting on the more "working man's" accent, much like you said there yourself. He probably thinks it appeals to the lowest common denominator. I find it pathetic too.
