    Couldn't care less about the format. If they put on good fights, I'll watch.

    The format was to draw in a casual audience which is a nessessity but the card was top notch

    Every fight was enjoyable so yes if 5 v5 brings similar matchmaking once again, bring it on

    Frank might go back to a teenager if he whitewashes Eddie again.

    I'll watch if Eddie's face is simulcast as he whitewashed again

    Any format that produces 5 well matched fights I'll support.

    Not too bothered about the QR vs MR narrative, but seeing Eddir have his ass handed to him by a small hall promoter was funny

    Great show and you'd imagine Eddies ego drives him to pull out some big guns

    I don’t care about the MR V QP stuff - just give us another 5 good fights like last time.

    it seemed wrong to me.
    why are we glorifying the Promoters? its not like its a gym vs gym/stable vs stable. it is 2 millionaires getting laudits, credit and monies for playing with their contractual toys. seemed perverse.


    like City Football Group Vs Red Bull football.

    why are we seeing this? does this add to the ladder and the grand tournament that is boxing? great match ups no doubt....but it seemed money for old rope.

    Unfortunately there is a huge casual audience that lap that kind of thing up

    And if we are honest the casual pound is where an event really starts to make a profit
