Chisora is pure box office...

Thing is, Chisora was making his point and Prograis tuned in. This wasn't about Prograis or Taylor really. This was between Chisora and Hearn / Sauerland. Prograis should've just kept his mouth shut. I met Chisora in person once, he was polite an quiet, nearly timid if I may say so. A classy gentleman. He used that press conference as a panel to voice his issues because that's probably the only stage he can get to adress them. I don't believe he can just pick up the phone and talk to Hearn the old school way - if he could have, he would've done it. It doesn't work like that anymore with most promoters. Why are so many fighters venting off on social media? Cause they don't have another platform. Chisora used this opportunity, probably the only one he had.

And Chisora is right. Hearn put him on the show because he knew Taylor and Prograis wouldn't sell the O2 Arena. Great fight on paper but it just doesn't sell. Like it or not, but that's a fact. Hearn and Sauerland are the first to know that. They still wanted that big stage for their final, so they turned to Chisora. They need a guy like Chisora. Say about Chisora what you want, but he brings the action, win or lose. And he's the one selling the tickets. Prograis and Taylor wouldn't even be fighting at the O2 in London without Chisora.

So they should pay Chisora his due. The guy gives his all on undercards and he gets no respect. I understand he's fed up. I'm not saying Prograis-Taylor shouldn't be the main event - it's a world title unification after all. But they should aknowledge that Chisora is the true 'star' of this show.

 

Taylor is a star in Scotland and his fans can literally take a train down to see him. How clueless are you?

 

You abound just like all the British HW fanboys on youtube, pipe down, there aren't that many of us that actually care about Chisora. He's never headlined a show based on his own name, he needs a dance partner who's an actual draw for that.

 

If Taylor and Prograis sold enough tickets for the O2 in London, then Hearn wouldn't need an undercard with Chisora-Parker. That's one expensive undercard. Hearn knows business and how much Taylor-Prograis can potentially sell. Not enough for the O2, Taylor being a big star in Scotland or not. But Hearn and Sauerland wanted that big stage for their final. As I said, they needed Chisora (of course vs. a name opponent) to sell that venue.
