Announcement for fight on the Froch Kessler card

Bellew/Chilemba it is.

 

Bellew vs Chilemba II has been made.

 

Oh Christ..... atsch

I was buzzing after hearing Thatcher had died but that's deflated my mood a little bit.

 

Got more faith in the undercard after the interview.

 

and bjs v ryder strongly hinted at

 

Bellew-Chillemba but with Groves still being Chief Support. More than happy with that, means Groves should get a credible opponent. Eddie also seemed excited for another big fight on the undercard. Saunders-Ryder seems to fit that

 

At least I don't have to watch it because of the football

 

If so, i point to my earlier comments and rest my case about the fight being made. I didnt think the main announcement wold be this tghough, given Hearn pretty much told us that last week. Id have expected a confirmation wit something else alongside

 

TBH if this is the undercard..

Groves vs TBA
Saunders vs Ryder
Bellew vs Chilemba II
Froch vs Kessler

+ A few of the Matchroom prospects and Sauerland boys like Jumah etc.

I'm more then happy with that honestly.

 

Makes sense, viewers will be down anyway early on due to the footy. Have bellew on early so they get the **** out of the way early.

 

I do not want to watch the Chilemba rematch. It was a poor fight. Bad addition.

 

There will be around £2mil from ticket sales, even if ppv is bad it will bring in £3mil. Then you have tv rights in Denmark which I am guessing Kessler will get a good percentage of and also tv rights for a number of other countries.

Also the closer to the fight I am guessing the Kessler vs froch fight will be shown on tv a lot, so with all the promos and people seeing the first fight the ppv will probably do even better.

 

Ah, I see you're from the Rob Palmer School of Economics.

 

But an expected one though?

 

I don't mind it tbh, its not even chief support, its a very competitive fight and I think Bellew will go for it this time, mainly because of the abuse he has got over the first fight.

Fancy Chilemba big time to win this.
