I'm not really bothered. There's two interesting fights already announced and we've definitely got Frankie Gavin on the card too. That's two quality fights and probably a 3rd, maybe more too - it's worth £15 of my money, if I don't end up going. If there's decent fights on the card I'll buy it, I'm not fussed about what titles may or may not be on the line or a specified ''main event''. We want Cleverly to move into world class and we want Groves vs DeGale - if we have to pay £15 for it, so be it. Nobody really gave a **** about Khan vs McCloskey or a group of Hatton fighters facing wank opponents in ''title'' fights - hence why this will stay on PPV with Sky. Warren puts on the best shows, end of story.
Warren's website saying undercard will be announced tomorrow. Steve Robinson's son who's had 1 fight as a pro will be on the card.
even the most scottish man in the world would say smith won 5 rounds against Simpson....surely thats an achievement for a fighter in there 11th fight and first 12 rounder?
Still not PPV worthy with the those two headline matches; as good as they are especially with Groves vs Degale (still feels a bit early could have been built up more), give us some real good under card matches then yeah maybe.
I can tell you with 100% certaintity that short of a catastrophic card collapse this is pay per view, end of story
yeah but Braehmer's a major flight risk - if I was Frank i'd want Fury vs. Chisora or Mitchell vs. Murray just to protect me in case he pulls out.
Warren interviewed in BM said he doesn't think there ready for PPV yet but he could not afford to put the fights on regular sky.

Promoter, Frank Warren has put together an action-packed undercard for his massive show at the O2 Arena on Saturday 21st May. The bill is headlined by two of the most anticipated fights this year, and will be shown live on Sky Box Office. Topping the card is Welshman Nathan Cleverly's challenge for the WBO World Light-Heavyweight title against Germany's tough World champion, Jurgen Braehmer. And James DeGale finally meets bitter rival George Groves in a mouth-watering grudge match to unify the British and Commonwealth Super-Middleweight titles. Fight fans will also get to see 2007 Amateur World Champion Frankie Gavin in his first 12 round championship fight against Young Mutley as he looks to move up the world rankings and push himself to the fore front of British Boxing. Gavin will be joined on the card by heavy-handed 2008 Olympian Billy Joe Saunders, who bids to put himself in the frame for a title shot later this year at Middleweight. Also in action is 2006 Commonwealth Games champion Jamie Cox as well as former Commonwealth Heavyweight champion Sam Sexton, who is joined on the comeback trail by two other former champions, Liverpool's former British Champion, Paul Smith, who lost his title to James DeGale, and also Dagenham's former WBO World Champion Nicky Cook. Emerging Commonwealth Games medallist Stephen Simmons from Edinburgh appears in a four rounder, as do a host of promising Londoners including Bradley Skeete, George Michael Carman, and Welshmen Lewis Rees. Another addition to the card is Francis Robinson, the son of Wales' former WBO featherweight king Steve Robinson. A recent signing to Frank Warren's camp Francis will be looking to his father's former promoter to help him reach the same levels as his dad did in the 1990swhen he made seven defences of his worldfFeatherweight title while packing out arenas in Cardiff. "This is one of the best shows I've ever been involved in," said Warren. "The card has got loads of stories and some real depth and is exactly what a PPV event should be. We've got eight champions, or former, champions in action as well as some youngsters who are going to be knocking on the door for titles in the near future. "I'm obviously very excited about the top of the bill and indeed DeGale V Groves, but the undercard is pretty special as well. You've got three guys in Smith, Sexton and Cook who are all coming back, and they are all going to answer some serious questions about their futures on May 21.
