    it’s crazy how the Saudis are going straight from one card where the unexpected result messed up their future plans to…another card where the unexpected result messes up their future plans

    Yeah, Arthur is super risk averse and prefers his foreign bin men in the opposite corner, so I knew it would take a mega pay day for him to force him into the ring against a real fighter

    I'd guess at about £250k
     
    BrokerNYC and Legs are shaky like this.

    Looking forward to seeing so many top fighters on one card, but is it stacked?? In one sense yeh but in another no it's a bit of a weird one yes we got big names but there isn't really any 50/50s on there

    Haven't watched the presser yet, hopefully AJ smashes his fist on the table then flips it in the air at wilder like his finchley abc comrade

    Who's gold star promotions?
    Is it Fury's manager?
    Heard the name dropped a few times tonight in Saudi

    Joshua is comedy gold.
    I love watching his awkward interviews and post fight shenanigans.

    Tries to be a humble, clever, philosophical guy but is far from it

    Just watching it now, frank boring me to be honest with his stuttering and "for the fans" shouts

    Watched a few of the after-presser videos, I don't understand why Hearn and Warren are both acting like "we'll never be friends but there's respect" - why not just go at it like Hearn and McGuigan did back in the day, and spare us some of the bland boxers? What's the point in press conferences just to say "thank you to his exellency" 15 times?

    What a terrible card, some truly bizarre noncompetitive match ups, Junior Fa and Mark De Mori finding their way onto it is just ridiculous. Fa got done in a round against the corpse of Lucas Browne, 7 years ago the corpse of Haye ironed out De Mori in no time. Parker is nothing but a sitting duck against Wilder, AJ v Wallin is the only interesting one just to see how the former handles it, Dubois v Miller is a freakshow. It's just an utterly predictable card on the whole.

    It’s a decent PPV compared to what we are used to but for me it just highlights boxing as a sham even more. Imagine the UFC having a PPV and multiple champions are fighting fights they are all hugely expected to win it just doesn’t happen.

    Boxing must be the only sport in the world where champions/former champions are out of the ring for 5 minutes and need a tune up to return. Bit like Man city playing Forfar/montrose and Elgin city in pre season.
