If you want to create a bill which would excite the fans, but your budget was no where near that off FW. Who would be on your bill? I have picked a cast where there full of grudges either regional, personal, those on the cross roads or with a point to prove Tyson Fury v David Price - English HW Martin Murrey v Tony Quigley - Commonwealth MW Alex Arthur v Derry Matthews - Inter-Continental LW belt Paul David v Tony Jeffries - English SMW Martin Rogan v Larry Olubamiwo - British Eliminator Sam Sexton v Herbie Hide - Catch weight bout Yassine El Maachi v Bill Joe Saunders - Southern LMW
macklin v barker mitchel v murray bellew v cleverley smith v stiegletz smith v lindsay degale v groves fury v sexton
That bill more of a Sainbury's 'Taste the Difference' card, whereas as mine was more Lidl economy range
Wlad-Haye Khan-Bradley Macklin-Pirog Brook-Malignaggi Cleverly-Braehmer Bellew-Mcintosh Gavin-Daws That's on a budget of ONE HUNDRED MILLION POUNDS.
Derek Chisora vs Tyson Fury - British title Nathan Cleverly vs Juergen Braehmer - WBO title Matthew Macklin vs Darren Barker - European title James DeGale vs George Groves - British & Commonwealth titles Frankie Gavin vs Lenny Daws - British title Kell Brook vs Mike Jones - vacant WBO title Ricky Burns vs Stephen Foster - WBO title :deal
The trick to it in my opinion is having one or 2 big maim event fights the equivalant of Macklin Barker or Cleverly Murat. Then fill out the card with solid evenly matched domestic bouts.
A realistic(ish) Hatton promotions 'Magnificent 7': Ryan Rhodes vs Cornelius Bundrage - IBF title Stephen Foster Jr vs Siarhei Guliakevich - European title Matthew Hatton vs Craig Watson II - European title Gary Sykes vs Anthony Crolla II - British title Denton Vassell vs Ashley Theophane - Commonwealth title Jason Booth vs Scott Quigg - British title Martin Murray vs Cello Renda II - Commonwealth title
Frank's next (best show ever) 'magnificent 7' card appears to be on a budget anyway.. Paul Smith v James DeGale Kell Brook v Michael Clark Nathan Cleverly v Alejandro Lakatos Matthew Macklin v Ruben Varon Tony Bellew v TBA Frankie Gavin v Dean Harrison
Sykes v Appleby - British title Fury v Rogan - for fun Smith v Lindsay - British title Quigg v Frampton - British title Munroe v Booth - world eliminator Macklin v Barker - Euro title Cleverley v Cloud - unification Of course this is as me as the only promoter in boxing and I own all fighters.
