    What do you think of it? Taking into account the main event/PPV and Hearn saying the undercard needs to be 'massive'?

    Gethin v Crolla
    Quigg v TBA
    Fielding v Lennox
    Joshua v TBA
    Stephen Smith v TBA
    Cardle v TBA
    McDonnell v TBA
    Also sounds like Campbell v TBA

    Positive - We are seeing quite few good fighters/prospects on the undercard.

    Negative - TBAs = Mismatches

    I prefer well matched fights than bigger names 'v TBAs' personally.

    Is this value for money/better than you expected or are you disappointed?

    It seems decent. I hope they match Quigg well that will have to be a decent fight given the level he fights at.

    Ideally McDonnell should face someone decent too, to show his world title win was no fluke, and to get him ready on the warpath to get the belt back.
    I imagine Cardle will fight a feather-fisted domestic challenge and it will as always does with him go the distance.
    Stephen Smith will likely be facing a 'bum' or durable journeyman - to build up his profile for Matchroom.
    Not too bothered who Joshua fights, glad to see he's active, It'll always be a mismatch at such an early stage in his career.

    Actually think Quigg will get a decent opponent, the card definately needs more for PPV though so interesting to see what happens next week.

    Unless some of these TBAs turn out to be decent fights, then given BN have the Pacman fight so Sky can't bundle it I think this will be a hard sell for PPV.

    Not a PPV card at all.

    Dissapointed. BN all the way for me.

    Its a good card. But if the opponents are no great then it wont be brilliant. But its still good to have those names on the undercard regardless of opposition quality.

    It's a good card. A lot depends on Quiggs and McDonnell opponents.

    I guess Eddie's idea of a "monster card" comes down to quantity rather than quality
