    I mean it's terrible. Unbelievably bad. Very little of interest. Compare it to Froch V Groves.

    The main events are both decent.
    But at Froch V Groves you had:
    Mitchell fighting an eliminator.
    De Gale fighting undefeated Gonzalez
    Mcdonnell fighting for the vacant WBA belt
    AJ in his 5th fight and a couple more.

    Here we have Anthony Cacace fighting for vacant belt but against a guy with some definite padding on his record.
    Tommy Fury looks to have found someone with a pulse.
    Ball and Lower should be fun but after that all you can say is it a good platform for some lesser known fighters.

    I'll watch it down the pub but bet the viewing figures earlier on in the card are dire. Needed Dubious, Arthur hell even Bently or Essuman would improve the card if they were matched against decent opponents (just throwing names out here not looked at their booking)

    Half the fights are in the feather/superfeatherweight division. Hard pass.

    Honestly, I've seen better cards in local venues in my life than this. This card isn't even worthy of ESPN.

    Why punish the pub with such a short visit, it ain't their fault?

    Similar to the Klits era if we are honest

    One fight shows

    Undercards are getting worse across the board

    The AJ vs Usyk one was absolutely abysmal

    But this is next level crap

    Things usually kick off once the main event is done

    I was planning to watch at the movie theater, but now even buying that ticket seems unattractive.

    They haven't generated a penny and are in a huge deficit, actually

    They need to keep costs super low and do over 1.5 million ppvs to break even ....

    I've not heard of most of these fighters.....I think I will just stream the main event.
    They clearly didn't want to pay for a decent undercard. They need to stop making these events top heavy otherwise they will lose the hardcore fans. complete pis* take...

    Very true, but the Klit fights weren't on PPV at least. This is truly faqed up.

    Not in UK no, but why would they be

    No idea if the rest of Europe did however

    Warren's trying to claw back every penny, no doubt

    He is leasing a ferrari and struggling to fuel it

    But i guess he has to give it a go
