I would expect it to be pretty decent tbh. In a recent IFL interview Fastcar stated nothing was confirmed but has been looking at Selby v Hunter, J. McDonnell, Macklin v Rose, Burns and also Degale or Groves, although I would be surprised to see the last two names on the bill.
Thought James DeGale would have been lined up though as mentioned majority of money has gone on bringing in Martin as per quote: 'Obviously we were due to take a weaker and cheaper opponent than Charles Martin for Anthony Joshua with a bigger undercard. 'Now a lot of he money has gone into Charles Martin, we will still have a strong undercard but it won't quite have the depth of the original undercard. 'That means James will probably go elsewhere but we are not ruling anything out.' With Manny Pac fighting on the same night Sky could include that as part of the PPV to bring in more buys?
Yeah a decent undercard is always a deciding factor for me alsnly problem is sometimes you don't know till you have already bought tickets etc how the card will look. I bought tickets to the crolla rematch,thinking it would be another good card with the possibility of quigg v doniare being on the same bill which was being spoken about.The card ended up being a snoozefest until the main event with no real chief support. If I hadn't bought train tickets from Scotland and booked a hotel etc I would have just gave it a miss once it was clear there was going to be a **** undercard
Hearn has already got the following undercards to cover 5 March, 26 March, 2 April & 7 May Cyclone Promotions are covering most of 27 Feb undercard Not a lot of fighters left after all them shows
James DeGale v Roger Meglindo Lee Selby v Eric Hunter Jamie McDonnell v Emmanuel Rodriguez Martin Murray v a Euro level guy in a 10 rounder. Ricky Burns v a Euro level guy Something like that for the TV part would be good, although I think DeGale might end up headlining his own card.
I read that Joshua will fight his mandatory Povetkin........................Wilder will not fight Joshua for any amount of money and Wilder is afraid of Povetkin although Povetkin was cleared by VADA and was found innocent in court, so the WBC should order Wilder to fight Povetkin, but Haymon does not want Wilder near Povetkin.......................WBC will do what Haymon tells them to do...................
