    Looks like it set out at under 50% capacity. Surely theyd be better to have it at York Hall and create a big atmosphere there?

    Definitely a combination of talent on the boxers part and a lack of headliners for SKY

    He looks great but im concerned that are gonna ruin him at this rate

    And Shalom, if you read this no more crappy music acts

    And if you must do so dont choose one thats a slow song that kills the arena

    I actually watched some of Santos fights and he seems very durable and tough overall. If Adam is able to get him out of there it will say a lot about him.

    Sky see something in him for sure, no kid at 20yrs of age gets signed with Sky on a 4 year contract.. unheard of ..

    Clearly AJ who left Sky his stock has gone down, they looking for their next poster boy..

    I have high hopes for Adam, he seems naturally gifted plus his dad got him into boxing from the age of 5yrs old .. he lives breathes boxing it's in his DNA..

    That probably says more about the lack of talent under Sky and British boxing as a whole

    This. Would be much better served on main card to an established boxer. Should have been in a prominent position on the Eubank vs smith fight. But he’s being pushed in a very poor headlining fight in a half full arena and being claimed to be a headliner when nobody is going to be watching and those buying tickets were essentially already in his fanbase. He’s a talent but it’s telling there’s a lack of headliners on Sky that this isn’t promoted as a next gen
