    A top quality undercard as he said it wasn't a PPV fight without it.

    Other than Crolla - Gethin what fight is there that people would want to see?

    Yes and a named fighter vs TBA isn't an enticing fight.

    I'm with Solaris on this one. Depth is not from the number of names on a card. It's the number of names in competitive fights.

    Not looking good
    There must have been a big budget for this,big undercard could have been made
    Looking like 1,2 or maybe 3 gentleman are going to come out financially very well from this event

    agreed, great depth to the card but would of liked some competitive fights with established fighters, like Crolla is getting for example.

    Is Smith and McDonnell off the card now?

    You don't have to pay for it, there are other ways of watching it.

    Awful undercard and I'm a Hearn fan. Putting your best fighters against TBA or in some mismatches doesn't warrant a good card. That being said people on twitter have been telling Eddie how good it is this morning and PPV is aimed more at casuals so in his eyes it will be working.

    I think he did try to makes this a brilliant card. Add McDonnell v Malinga and Smith v Sykes and it would of been excellent IMO. Just slinging a load of names on v TBA isn't the undercard he promised. It's better than most though. Joshua in another good step up. Murray will be raring to go but his opponent won't be up to much

    **** undercard. Having plenty of fights doesn't make it PPV worthy. The majority of fans are so far up Hearn/Matchrooms arse though that they won't even notice.

    I'm looking forward to Murray v TTA and C Smith v Oap
