    Just been announced. TBH I didn't expect much as most of the money has gone on the main event. FW is just using this event to give Flanagan more exposure. Fana is 42 :patsch.

    Just gets him fighting.

    He won't be in anything meaningful while the Crolla fight is there.

    I'd expect a fair few 'casuals' to watch this card, so Flanagan needs to look good, hence the choice of opponent

    Klitschko never spends on the undercard. They must bring in reasonable money with all the TV rights fees worldwide and selling lots of tickets so I can't see an excuse for them not doing better.

    Flanaghan must look at what Crolla is earning and be fuming.

    Maybe so but Hearn did claim Crolla is earning 3 or 4x as much as Flanaghan.

    This fight is pretty lame but being on the Klit undercard, it was always going to be. I actually really rate Terry, I hope he gets a proper fight after this one

    Its pretty easy to believe that Crolla is way out earning Flanagan at the minute, Crolla is selling more tickets, on a bigger channel and is getting a hell of a lot more exposure.

    This a terrible fight as well, I understand why it is happening but it would be terrorized if this fight was on Sky.

    was hoping the undercard would have saved me from falling asleep before and during the main event, no chance of that now :nut

    Why not have Daws/Nieto as the chief support? It's likely cheaper and a better fight. Mick needs to sort it out.

    Fana is apparently fighting the night before in Ghana- he's going to be knackered by Sunday.

    I'm pretty sure Flanagan's manager confirmed it. C'mon is it that hard to believe when you look at where both are right now.
