Froch - Groves card is looking good

For PPV it's garbage. Lots of names but a distinct lack of competitive fights. I've never heard of the guy Quigg is fighting. Crolla-Gethin is a decent domestic bout but nothing to get excited about. The rest of the fights will be knockover jobs. Hopefully the PPV flops and Hearn/Sky are discouraged from trying to fleece the fans in future. Froch-Groves could have easily been made without PPV, and even if it wasn't, would anyone really care?

 

Not so sure why people list high profile prospects on these card threads. The fact is Yafai, Campbell and Joshua will be 1/100 to win there respective bouts and that's if you can get odds on the fights. The card starts at McDonnell (if he is on it) against someone you have probably never heard of. The same can be said for the Murray and Quigg fights (even though the latter is for a 'world title'). Crolla vs Gethin is decent but is this card really PPV worthy?

 

stop trolling fella

 

what where ppl Realisticly expecting to be put on the card?
I heard Froch is taking home 1m guaranteed- that doesn't leave that much in Hearns famous budget to work with as I doubt this will reach the nos for the Kessler fight.
Quigg only fought the other day, Crolla is fighting at his level, Murray was parachuted in today and rest are pretty much prospects. I'm not Hearns biggest fan as many will know but there is nothing wrong with the card IMO

 

after what hearn was saying on ifilm months ago how it was going to be this is crap

people seem to lap up just getting a name on the card fighting a nobody

 

Complete con artist. He's somehow managed to pull the wool over a lot of people's eyes. Fair play to him because he is taking the ****.

 

oh i forgot every fight has to be mayweather v alvarez with garcia v mattysse as back up!!!

haters gunna hate

 

names look good but they are all going to be one sided fights which it shouldnt be for ppv!

lets be honest the froch v kessler ppv was also **** brilliant main event, but groves boxed a no hoper and bellew v chilemba was one sided and a snooze fest.

 

If I had beat Wlad Klitschko I wuld be Heavyweight champion of the world :bbb, the fact is I haven't and I work a 9-5.30 office job. Groves' best win was 2 and a half years ago, and what has he done since then to warrant being in the main event of a PPV fight? Alcoba? Barakat? Balmaceda?

Had this have been this time next year and Groves had picked up a noticeable win then it may have been different.

 

James Degale and Glen Johnson are 2 good wins

but I agree this fight should have been PPV subject to Groves beating Steiglitz, Im sure hes mandatory to Steiglitz.

Quigg versus someone like Fernando Montiel would have been nice, but I suppose he only fought a few weeks ago.

 

The card us a disgrace for PPV, the main event isn't PPV seen as Groves is unproven, add to that Gethin coming off a loss, Quigg against a guy who is ranked 88th! and Smith and the likes against punching bags, it is a joke honestly one of the worst PPV cards i have ever seen. i mean why didn't Eddie pay for at least a quality chief support, if this ppv got 200000 buys that would be 3M revenue plus gate and advertising, i would say Carl might be getting 1.5m and Groves maybe 500 thousand, surely the million extra or plus could have been used to get a quality chief support. Not Quigg against a bum. but i guess greed talks card is a joke end of no justification for PPv

 

groves is probably the best prospect in the UK, remember that, he is very very good, has improved in every fight,

 

he also beat sierra and knocked out paul smith inside two rounds
