    It's got me think about groves pulling out and the card getting cancelled. Surely things like this will effect the number of people wanting to subscribe and will also course Boxnation to be falsely advertise 2 lives shows a week. Could this have big repercussions for Boxnation? They aren't like Sky Sports who could put another sport on or fill the time with something else if a show got cancelled whereas Boxnation would probably end up showing Cleverly v Bellew again.

    BoxNation's downfall will be them cancelling shows whenever a fighter pulls out.

    People are quick to criticize Groves but the chances are the person behind him pulling out is Frank. He's the one who profits most, not Groves. Would Groves risk the Stieglitz payday? Maybe. Would Frank? Never in a million years. Most boxers have the arrogance to think they can fight one guy, beat them easily and then fight again in a short space of time so even though it's Groves who has pulled out, I'd be shocked if this wasn't Frank's decision.

    Anyway, that's besides the point.

    Even if the Groves fight is off, the card could still be saved. Give the TV audience something to watch rather than a rerun. If anyone who has bought a ticket wants a refund, offer it them but stick on a good main event to try to avoid too many people doing that. Simple.

    By cancelling the show, FW is the one causing BoxNation problems. A pull out at the last minute isn't ideal but the fans who paid a subscription fee would rather see the undercard and a last minute main event rather than **** all.
