    Also agree with Jonesy, this isn't a bid for one fight, winning this purse is about 3-4 potentially huge fights minimum in the UK in arena or even stadium venues.

    Title fight (maybe Alexander, maybe not), a couple of voluntary defences against a well picked oppo's, then you are onto Hatton and or Khan. There's huge potential for those three fighters if Hatton is successful and the Khan/Kel fight is put off for another 12-18 months.

    If titles could be picked up by Khan/Hatton in the meantime is it straying into fanboy areas to think of a round robin between Khan/Hatton/Kel? I think its well known Paulie wants Hatton, and Khans got to work to do at his current weight before moving up.
    That would generate some serious money with 3 huge nights of boxing the like of which I can't previously remember.
    Yes, I'm probably getting carried away.

    That sort of thinking allowed Sven Ottke to end his career undefeated...

    Hearn wants it in Sheffield because if Kell doesn't perform to 100% and loses rounds, he has more chance of winning those lost rounds here, than in America.

    Because in the US every fight is judged spot on and there are no arguments. All the fanboys thought Manny Pacquiao won every round against Timothy Bradley. When it clearly wasn't the case, I had the same scores as those judges in favor of Bradley, and so did a minority of other people, the majority thought Manny walked the fight, but they obviously don't know **** about boxing.

    So IMO this is where the fight should be, to avoid any corrupt judging in favor of Kell Brook.

    Devin got paid almost £400,000 for his 'fight' with Bailey so I don't see him coming to England.

    I'm genuinely not sure if this is a joke.

    The only people who said that they thought Bradley won that fight are people who benefit financially by doing so (Judges included)

    You just can't handle the truth! The truth hurts, no wonder there are so many butt-hurt fanboys on here! To these, the truth doesn't exist, they live in tinky-winky la-la land, where only one picture is clear, the picture they enjoy, the picture that entertains their fantasies, and they will defend it to the hilt, because they love their fighter so much. But it's this blind love that clouds the picture and prevents them from seeing the truth.

    I ask of those humbled people today, to repent and see the light, I ask for these people in darkness to testify and to allow jesus christ and the spirit of god into your hearts. I ask these people to cross over and welcome the truth, I ask these people today, my friends, my family, my brothers and sisters to wake up from the sleep in darkness and to see the almighty bright light upon all of thee.

    Amen.

    Please can you shut up?

    Brandon Rios won the fight by a country mile. I've watched the fight 7 times now and twice in slow-motion.

    I don't know what you are talking about. "Corruption in American judging"

    Have you not seen the "Corruption in Britain judging?"

    Enzo Maccarinelli vs. Shane Mcphilbin?

    A time-keeper that couldn't count
    A trigger happy bell ringer
    A hopeless ref that called knockdowns for slips
    A fighter that tested positive for weight loss supplements
    And another fighter who walked about 5 yards to get into the ring, with a Mr. Blobby mascot.
