    Yeah he’s got everything to do with my club wrongin recent weeks.

    It’ll sell by the truckload. The only thing going against it is that you’ll legally be able to have a houseful round for it.

    One thing for sure, if £5m is accurate then it isn’t getting you much of an undercard. No way does it get you names like Chisora, Parker or Whyte for example. This looks like being prospects like Hatton, Fisher, Wardley and a 2 Bob women’s world title fight...

    For 5m?? Of course PPV fighters wont be on but they must be able to get a decent undercard for that?

    Okolie said his title defence will be announced soon, maybe him as chief support?

    Or Bakole vs TR HW such as Yoka or Takam would be decent.

    He had a point though. How are they going to sell this as a $100 ppv in America? AJ isn’t popular over there after what happened with Ruiz. I’m not sure this fight does over 3 million buys in the UK.

    I think this PPV will end up being 35 quid.

    To be fair, Hearn says that about every card.

    Yep, and the phrase ‘multiple world title fights’ clearly means Harper, Taylor, Courtenay etc. Probably Okolie at a push if the Saudis don’t want any women on the show.

    For once though, it does feel as though the undercard doesn’t really matter, the main event is that big.

    I doubt the sharia will have women on the card.

    Taylor and Courtenay would no doubt go on if they could, despite the lack of women's rights in the country, because these women couldn't care less about anything apart from money, just like most boxers. To be fair, boxers are not the sharpest of people and Taylor and Courtenay are as thick as mince.

    It's not a political opinion. It's a fact. In Saudi Arabia, women are considered subordinate to men, as commodities and endure some of the worst oppressive laws in the world.

    Saudi will have no objections to have women on the card. They're trying to emulate Dubai and the UAE. They want to be known as the go to place for westerners. This is all part of their big project to remove their reliance on oil and create a tourism industry like UAE have. They've already hosted many sports events there in the last few years. Saudi are going to eventually make Dubai look like small fry when it comes to trying to entice the Western world to their shores. Embarrassing if you ask me though but that's for another day.

    On a side note. Tyson Fury and the whole Fury clan are one lying set of mugs that I cannot wait to see the back of after August the 14th.

    Nothing that comes out of his mouth should be believed. From his supposed mental problems, to him donating his Wilder money to the homeless, to him saying he doesn't fight for the money, to him saying that AJ is holding up the fight, and for his failed drugs tests which he claimed were because he ate wild boar.

    He's a lying drugs cheat and I hope AJ smashes his face in because one thing he is not is a real fighting man.

    Yet he’s the one in a world championship fight and you are not, but weird for a supposed “not a real fighting man”.

    Also just chill and enjoy the upcoming exposing of the humble one....
