    Probably show Ebanie's best weigh-in moments and spend the remaining 2 hours making the case for Connor Benn's innocence.

    And the fact nobody knows he’s fighting as he’s on Deadzone.

    Imagine the coked-up crowd after 2 hours drinking time too.

    There won't be enough people in there to riot in fairness

    Problem is that the casual audience watching at home, a huge chunk of which might have been interested in seeing the boxing, will have absolutely zero interest. Sure some of them might stay on at pubs after the football to watch the main event but that won’t make DAZN any money, it will just do business for the pubs selling pints.

    That’s a massive faux pas from Matchroom. Warrington probably fuming.

    Don't forget the long awaited return of Shannon Courtney vs TBA. I hear FIFA are talking about moving the England game to accommodate the boxing.

    I don't think even a country with Qatars human rights record would make people suffer that

    The game has totally ruined the boxing event and this is a very lame attempt to merge the two together. If England lose (which is quite possible, let's be honest) the arena could be pretty empty or pretty wild, or both...

    What do you want them to do then? Damned if they do, damned if they don’t…

    DAZN have just taken £8 out my bank when I cancelled a year ago. Logged onto my closed account on the computer and for some reason it's been re-activated, which definitely isn't by me as I watched it through an Xbox which I don't have anymore.

    Contacted customer services and was sent to a hotline which just said 'we have no agents available'.

    Game thieved.

    The schedule for the WC was out there for several weeks. I’m sure obviously there would have been difficulties with the fact that the arena has been booked for a specific date but as soon as the WC fixture list was released Matchroom would have been able to see the potential clashes with England’s games.

    Venue was booked on 3rd and 17th. Need to get Warrington out and others this year.

    Had other shows booked prior so no real option. Get the show on and adapt or wait until the new year and tell the fighters they have to train over xmas

    Doesn't matter nobody would have been there anyway.

    This Saturday's card is a shocker. Ebanie Bridges co-main, TBA fighting 3rd and 5th from top and JJ Metcalf fighting the 85th best super welterweight in the world after a career best victory.

    Less than half the tickets sold. Warrington used to sell out the arena every time under Uncle Frank.

    Looked on the seating map and noticed Matchroom are leaving a full row gap every other row in most areas to try and make it look full.
