Can't wait for this one now. A week ago, I was quite looking forward to it but now that fight week has arrived I'm really pumped! Matchroom have received a lot of stick recently (I have moaned a bit myself) but it is only fair to offer credit where it is due and the domestic shows this year (Cardiff, Hull and potentially this one) have been much improved/very good. A solid domestic card.
If you look at the poster promoting the fight you are surprised this bill is still going ahead. Cermeno isn't fighting Quigg anymore, Joshua and Campbell are off the bill and so is Jamie McDonnell as well. Of all the fights on the card the Tyrone Nurse and Goodjohn fight is the best on paper and the rest of the fights could turn out to be very one sided. Hopefully i'm wrong though and it turns out to be a great night of boxing just like the Copper Box show last week. Even if it's half as good as the Copper Box show then we will be in for a treat.
I hope Murray does him just to see the look on Gallagher's face afterwards, reckon he'll win a razor close decision.
I don't understand why People get so shirty about Campbell and Joshua. It's hardly like they're in competitive fights at this stage anyway
You're right Joshua and Campbell are never in competitive fights, but they sell a large majority of the tickets that's why Hearn's putting they're names on the bills.
I know what your saying but if I has tickets for a show and Joshua and Campbell were pulled I wouldn't lose any sleep over it
It's not about that though. A large percentage of tonight's crowd will be casuals who have paid money to see the Olympic heroes Joshua and Campbell because they won gold medals. That's why they're the poster boys for tonight's event because they sell tickets, don't you get it? It's called advertisement.
Bull****, a large percentage of the crowd will be going just for the Murray-Crolla fight and plenty for Quigg and the other local fighters on the card.There would be very few casuals who mainly got the tickets for Campball or Joshua and if they did and now don`t want to go can get refunds which Matchroom always provide if needed.
Bloody hell if it ends up only being half as good as the copperbox show it would be disappointing.That card was decent for wazza and surprised me a little,I wouldn`t call it a great night of boxing at all.All this would need for me is for Crolla-Murray to live up to expectation and this would **** all over that show.
And you are? Is it f*ck Bull****, A large majority would have bought tickets just looking at the poster when the card was announced and Campbell, Joshua and McDonnell were on that. It's casual fans who help fill up the arena as well as the local fighters following. Campbell for obvious reasons is not taking part, but Joshua and McDonnell have been pulled out for the Wembley card, so there should be a refund available because it's false advertisement otherwise.
There will of course be refunds available, Matchroom are far better at that then a certain other promoter also how many people sees a fight poster now days,it`s not the 80s anymore.Not many people would of gone to this show just for those fighters in 8 rounders and if they did they will get a refund no harm no foul and this card is better then any Wazza card on paper since the Clve-Kovalev card
People would have bought tickets especially for those fighters. The advertisement for this event has been on Sky commercials, newspapers, online you name it and Joshua, Campbell and McDonnell as well as Quigg v Cermeno were on the lot promoting the card, so don't give me that nonsense. False advertisement.
