    This would have been a superb card if there was no drop outs and Fielding has made weight though, can't blame Hearn for that

    semi true....

    its not the pull outs its the TBAs thats ruining it...the boxers cant prepare

    look at the Hull card,no superstars but the fighters were evenly matched and prepared it was best night of uk boxing for a while....

    Hearn is an honest guy and will improve cards

    Hearn is not a honest guy, all he cares about is the money, he couldn't give a toss about the fans. 60.000 tickets sold for froch vs groves and touts got them all, joe public will have to pay over the odds but hearn doesn't care he still gets his money,

    terrible card , as someone else mentioned , afolabi kod this guy bellews fighting in 5 , afolabi bellew would of been a great fight , albeit a bit pricy maybe for eddies liking ... and as for paul smith , the 2 rounds comment was a bit wide , but i think he was touching on how bad adamu was in there tonight and at his age , not that his brother and him are the bees knees . 2nd the wbo shot he talks about , i agree completely unwarranted , but if hes been offered it hed be crazy not to accept , money 5 x more and world title like he said . paul smith for me should be at middle , where he might of had a sniff at a an alphabet belt if hed been active for the last few years, looks really fleshy at 168

    Yeah but he told us it was going to be great first time round same with Froch vs Kessler so why the **** should be believe what he said's he is a bullshitter of the highest order **** Hearn, Matchroom and Sky for putting on this ****

    Paul Smith .. Thinks the world owes him done nothing to deserve a world title. Hasn't even done anything at European level or fought anyone of that calibre, then again groves and degale are European and world level they both schooled him Abraham would beat smith.

    It's the same with most big music events and sporting events, be very very surprised if Hearn has control over that aspect of things. Those scams are with the companies who get the job of ticket allocation and distribution.

    Not like touts are new phenomenon, same shits been happening for decades, has very little to do with the likes of Hearn.

    This cards rank though, I'm sick of watching pointless shitty one sided fights. Most of these events should not be televised, that goes for the shitty Anthony Joshua fights too, wack them on proper early and show us the highlights, don't ****ing have him as a big part of the fight card taking up a spot where a 'real' fight can take place.

    Not much to ask for is it, real fights... FFS.

    I think you've exaggerated just a bit there.

    I know loads of joe public, myself, included, who got tickets just fine. **** all Hearn can do about some ending up on the (disgraceful) legal touting sites.

    not too much to ask at all

    this is becoming more than a joke,imagine ruining your saturday night out going to that and being 100 notes lighter at least?

    enough is enough
