    It would have to be PPV
    I'm not saying it's justified but Yarde is one of BTs biggest prospects and Kovalev is a proven champion

    I wouldn't pay for it, but it's still a more meaningful fight than Hate Belloo or Chisora Whyte 2

    He had a HBO exclusive contract for most of his title run. Those HBO shows usually take place in the US.

    Yarde does take a lot of stick and some of it justified He would go up in my estimation if he was to fight kovalev and even tho I like kovalev he is prob easiest fight out of all the world champions at this weight. If he goes to Russia and lasts at least 6 ,7 rounds he would get praised. Kovalev has been stopped ok at highest level but he is what 35 ,36 now. It’s realistically his best chance and if he isn’t goin to fight him he should fight a burton or Callum Johnson

    Where else can they hold it? Yarde has got a BT deal so he can’t fight anywhere else in the UK other than BT. In America how many people go and watch it? Never mind how few people buy it on PPV. So where else do you suggest?

    Stack the card.

    Dubois Gorman on there, get Catterall vs Flanagan or something too. Maybe throw Saunders on there as he’s doing **** all else.

    Is it the tippy-tappy handshakes or the constant repeating of "Lions in the camp" that impresses you?

    Is catteral hookers mandatory?? U could put Dubois vs Gorman or against Joyce. Billy joe after his defence aswell against someone.

    That catchphrase is the single most annoying and cringe inducing thing in sport, and not in a way that may provide hype, familiarity, or attraction from trying to play the heel. I don't get it.

    Yarde bores me now. Get into a meaningful fight with someone who will hit him back and I’m happy to talk about him but until then he’s just a Warren Adidas ***** in da House hype job. Don’t seem like a bad guy but he now needs to shut people up and walk the walk.
