Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Kugan and the team wants to make IFL TV into a pay per view channel in the future. I can't imagine too many buying that. I always knew they will become greedy and try make it into a PPV channel. PPV market will be overcrowded in the UK in the future. Every PPV channel will suffer from the overcrowded PPV market, it's just a matter of time. I see ITV Box Office, IfL future PPV and others going out of the game because of this.

And IFL's interviews aren't strong either and never mind that they are asking the same old questions in every interview. They know only UK boxing scene and best known international stars but they forget that boxing is much more bigger than that and their future PPV will suffer greatly because of that. I remember when Kugan even din't know who Rivas and Gerald Washington were when Fury said that he is looking forward to this fight and there are many other examples. British PPV market is not that big and IFL isn't that good to make an impact. I can't see viewers outside of UK buying that crap even if they make it available to US and others. Terrible idea IFL......You will sink the whole project because of your own greed.

 

Joshua wanted a rematch clause written in the contract, so team Parker gave him that. Team Parker wants little bit more money but both camps are close to making fight a reality.

 

Arsen Goulamirian is taking on Hamilton Ventura with Abel Sanchez in the corner.

Arsen looks ripped to the shreds for this one.

1 round for Golumirian by impressive performance.

2 round for Arsen as well. He leads with his jab and is hitting Ventura with hard shots to head.

3 round. Arsen hits Ventura to the body more and more. He hurts Ventura to the body but Ventura survives. Arsen is showing impressive work rate so far. Arsen hurts Ventura once again near the End of the round knocks him down. Ventura trying to get up but can't, it's over.

Arsen is close to title shot because he is number 1 in the WBA ranks. Good opponent for Lebedev. If he has a chin he has chance to defeat Lebedev.
