Cracking show this, might be getting myself a ticket to this one! This I think will hush the Matchroom critics for a while. :good
Of course its PPV. Hearn had his knob out ****ing about it on Sky Sports earlier. Im at a wedding so glad i wont be paying for the PPV. only fight I'm interested in is the Mitchell vs Linares fight
this will be a great show but don't think it will be ppv or im sure it would have been mentioned at the announcement
Then he will sign up Bradley Skeete and have a rematch with Frankie Gavin at Wembley with Brook v Khan on the undercard.
He might even fit in Tommy Coyle in a warm up fight against a tough teak Lithuanian with a record of 20-79-0 with zero KOs.
What are Mitchell's chances? Linares looks sharp and solid in the past from what I've seen. Should be a good close fight this, I just hope mitchell puts in the ground work and shows up.
Cant see this being PPV. Its a quality card but neither Mitchell nor Selby are big enough names or characters to carry a PPV. The only reason Bellew v Clev was PPV was due to the 'needle' between each other, this card doesn't have that either. It should sell plenty of tickets so will make decent money that way
