    Deffo, it's a proper event for what is really just a domestic fight.

    Matchroom know what they're doing. Look what they did with the darts. They just know promotion.

    Feels like them days back in 90's/early 00's. Proper arena for a big fight.

    And most important realistic pricing with the tickets.

    Great build up = great atmosphere = great show. This is how it should be done. SKY need to lean on promoters to make these kind of cards a more regular occurrence. There should be what feels like a big occasion at least once a month.

    I think you're right about that. The night feels well coordinated between the two entities.

    I like how SKY had Quigg on with his gleaming fish eyes whilst Frampton was calling him out. Gives any watching casual fan an incentive to watch should that fight come up in good time. Barker's presence for the Proksa fight could have worked in a similar fashion. Presuming the speculated upon fights subsequently happen, it's that sort of autonomy that boxing needs. Hate to bring up UFC, but that's what makes it work so well. SKY need to press this.
