    I wonder if this will be on the Billam-Smith card in December on December 9 / December 16. Lee Cutler also fighting for the English Title on that planned card.

    I just don't see any chance in hell DAZN wins the Premiership rights from TNT (assuming they bid again) or Amazon, given there's a low risk of Sky losing the bigger bundle. Given the success of CBS and Paramount Plus coverage of the Champions League, I'd be surprised if they didn't have a go this time either. And this might finally be the time the big boys throw some loose change at it, Apple for example.

    I think Man Utd v Sheff Utd kicks off at 8 on Sky so they should have done them about 10pm in case the game runs over and advertised it plenty during the game. I’m sure almost all boxing fans would rather watch Buatsi v Azeez than boring Catterall v the ghost of Linares.

    Well the attendance figures would state otherwise - Catteral vs Linares has outsold Buatsi vs Azeez!

    December 9 or December 16 in Bournemouth with Lee Cutler for the English Title and maybe Jack Cullen vs Callum Simpson for the British Title on the undercard. Masternak is 36 and this could be his last fight.

    I wonder what happened to Okolie's rematch then. My guess is that Boxxer offered him money to either move up to heavyweight or step-aside so they can make the rematch outdoors in the summer. The WBO also ordered Billam-Smith to fight Rhiakporhe after this fight against Masternak so that will be interesting to see how things pave out.

    I know you’ve mentioned it 30 times. Can guarantee the Sky show does more viewers.

    One time I would be in support of a clash as Catterall makes a Glass Eye Weep.

    Would you ever stop with your non stop biase , Linares in his heyday was worth watching.
    There is not a spark of personality between the other 3 you absolute whopper and you try and just say caterall is boring.
    Negative anti matchroom mong

    Calm down mate are you Catterall’s dad or summat?

    Linares’ heyday was about 7 years ago. Lost his last 3 all at the weight below.

    36 years old? Why would this be his last fight? 31 year olds are fresh,raw, young next gens,so he's only just entering the prime of his career!

    Read the message twat, I said all three have zero personality but you going on like buatsi and azeez have everyone glued to the TV screen.
    You hate MR end of , that's fine but make sense if you can from all your bitterness or jealousy of MR

    They did. Sold almost 7000. Buatsi vs Azeez has done about 5000. No need to get personal mate.
    He's had 52 fights and been a professional for 17 years.

    5000? How many went on sale? Looks like they have sold the vast majority of the open sections

    I’ve been to far more Matchroom shows than those of any other promoter.
