    There really is a band of posters just defending everything Frank does now!

    Groves v DeGale was a 3 fight card. Groves was a British title fight, Cleverly was a last minute replacment, Frankie Gavin v Young Mutley for a WBO International title was the other fight?

    Mag 7 was good, shame Macklin/Barker didn't come off.

    I think that idea could work again, be harder for Frank to do but still possible.

    I don't think Frank would be capable of making 7 big fights now.

    I don't think in terms of PPV sales it did well. They never repeated it anyway!

    Total garbage PPV.

    Kessler-Froch rematch is NOT PPV worthy, it's a good match-up and the first fight was a pretty decent but in the end all it tell's you is who is the Number 2 Super Middle.

    Chilemba-Bellew - You'd have to pay me to watch this crappy fight again.
    Ochieng/Kaddour - Who against Who?
    Groves vs some euro pudding - No thanks, we've seen too many of them lately.

    Wow yeah let me get my bank card, better book early for this sensational offer...Eddie you sure know how to spoil us boxing fans! And just to think for nearly the same price i could be getting the following fights on Boxnation over 8 Weeks:

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. v Robert Guerrero
    Abner Mares v Daniel Ponce de Leon
    J'Leon Love v Gabriel Rosado
    Sergio Martinez vs Martin Murray
    Audley Harrison vs Deontay Wilder
    Amir Khan vs Julio Diaz
    Anthony Ogogo vs Keiron Gray
    Saul Alvarez vs Austin Trout
    Abner Cotto vs Omar Figueroa
    Liam Walsh vs Scott Harrison
    Dereck Chisora vs Hector Alfredo Avila
    Nathan Cleverly vs Robin Krasniqi
    Donaire vs Rigondeaux
    Viloria vs Estrada
    Martinez vs Magdaleno
    Abraham vs Stieglitz
    Hopkins vs Cloud
    Bradley vs Provodnikov
    Prescott vs Crawford
    Saunders vs Hall
    Keith Thurman vs Jan Zaveck
    Abril vs Bogere
    Rios vs Alvarado
    Shiming vs Valenzuela

    I know which one makes sense.

    Also the Burns-Gonzalez card is shaping up to be another crapfest event just like all recent Hearn cards. The Main event and undercard are terrible for a so called "Big Event".

    Ricky Burns vs Jose Gonzalez - crap fight
    Stephen Simmons vs Michael Sweeney - Crap fight
    Jon Slowey vs TBA - Crap fight
    David Brophy vs TBA - Crap fight
    John Simpson vs Choi Tseveenpurev - Decent but would have been much better 5 years ago.

    New age promoting is the ****!

    BoxNation is a Boxing TV channel.
    Matchroom are a Boxing Promotional Company.

    You cannot compare them.

    And surley by your standards;

    Sergio Martinez vs Martin Murray - CRAP FIGHT
    Amir Khan vs Julio Diaz - CRAP FIGHT
    Anthony Ogogo vs Keiron Gray - CRAP FIGHT
    Liam Walsh vs Scott Harrison - CRAP FIGHT
    Dereck Chisora vs Hector Alfredo Avila - CRAP FIGHT
    Nathan Cleverly vs Robin Krasniqi - CRAP FIGHT
    Saunders vs Hall - CRAP FIGHT
    Shiming vs Valenzuela - CRAP FIGHT

    Don't judge the platforms judge the cards.

    You were waxing lyrical about Franks show this sat and Walsh/Harrison but you rip to bits Froch/Kessler?

    I compared them in regards to "value for money" not promotion.

    Sergio Martinez vs Martin Murray is not a crap fight, it's a fight between the Number 1 middle and a Top 10 unbeaten middle.

    The rest you've just listed are just the weak from the chaf.

    Martin Murray is not a top 10 middleweight!

    Hearn at his best is putting on cards that you could say are only slightly better or even just the same as Frank as his worst...now that's a great achievement so credit where credit is due for Eddie.

    I've never once waxed lyrical about Frank's card this saturday. It's a pretty decent card with a couple of intriguing match-ups on it in Clev-Krasniqi and Walsh-Harrison but that's about it. Hearn isn't doing much better at the moment though.

    Bull****, you would moan like **** if you filled your car with petrol, paid at the pump and then had to pay again when you actually came to start the car. Froch - Kessler II and nothing else is not PPV worthy, not by a long shot.

    According to who?

    He's rated Number 7th Middleweight by Ring Magazine and i think most Boxing ratings would have him in their Top 10.

    and they would be wrong. Martin Murrays best win is over Nick Blackwell. He has a draw against Felix Sturm, who lost his previous, and 2/3 next fights.

    To me Bellew/Chilemba isn't bad as chief support providing either Groves has a good opponent or a fight involving one of the other top Matchroom stars is announced for the night. Strongly considering buying this

    Terrible analogy. When I paid for Sky...i was always aware of Box Office Boxing.
