    I wonder if this will last.
    Most big spenders tend to bow out in a few years. It´s a miracle that PBC are still around. Well, they are a shell of what they were in the beginning.
    DAZN also slowed down their spending significantly.

    Then again, this is Saudi oil money and the arenas seem to be filled to a degree, which is precisely what they are after.
    I guess we will find out in a few years, because if the fans ain´t showing up then they will eventually stop overpaying.

    Will be interesting to see if Hearn still “doesn’t rate” Wilder if he has signed with them.

    was hoping Johnny Fisher against David Adelaye was gonna be on there as that would be a fun fight

    Can't they get decent announcers and MCs?

    Clearly not. I can't stand that Cheese Sarnie guy or whatever his name is.

    Ford looks about four divisions bigger than Ball and I'm not ever alluding to height what with Ball being an oompa loomp. He just looks much thicker

    Yeah. The HW fights and Ball vs Ford are the ones I'm really excited about. I said Ford looks four divisions bigger than Ball but it was more like six albeit the difference will be at least half that on fight night

    Obviously The Dosser can KO Big Bang at any moment but if Big Bang lands one flush backhand on him he's sparking him out in one punch HL reel fashion and I suspect we might witness a chicken dance from The Dosser if he gets clipped by Big Bang's right hook

    Great card!

    Nice to see a main event on the level of Beterbiev vs Bivol getting a cracking card like this

    All of the fights seem rather evenly matched, which excites me. There are no obvious mismatches, they are all on similar career trajectories.

    :lol: Nick Ball cuts to make 126.
