    $75 American is what will probably be charged. Not buying. If there were 2 decent prelims I would. Bunch of insignificant fights not worth my time.

    Thats an Anthony Yarde or Chris Eubank type undercard. For a PPV event at Wembley Stadium its sickening.

    They had plenty money generated from home and gate to pay for bigger names but chose to keep it all for themselves instead

    I was planning to buy this fight but now not so sure. Would rather pay for Spence/Ugas.

    Great way to entice fans both over here and across the pond to dip their fingers into their wallets :facepalm:

    I only know Tommy Fury out of the undercard fighters. I’ve never even seen a card where there wasn’t at least one other fight that is a curiosity. Why doesn’t Arum have proper fights on the undercard?

    It really is a terrible undercard. Very poor showing, no wonder people are so disengaged with PPV’s.

    Warren overbid on Fury's purse and just doesn't want to spend on the undercard (per usual for him) so we get a brutal line up, not that the average casual cares that much which is Warren's calculation for an event like this but boxing fans are being short changed.

    Dreadful. Would have loved an Anthony Yarde, Joe Joyce or Daniel Dubois fight on the undercard. Or even Lyndon Arthur.

    This is what happens when you have a fraud like Fury saying that he "does not care about money" and promoters like Arum and Warren trying to outdo Hearn instead of trying to put on a good night of boxing. They spent all that energy trying to screw Whyte on the split and they forgot to make a good card out of the whole thing. The funny thing is, Fury's rabid fans will be ok with this too because he is basically like Trump to Trump fans. He can do no wrong to them. Even though Fury has 1 title defense, was on nandrolone and had to be taken to court twice within the last year to be made to fight. The whole thing is playing out like a movie that has a huge budget and will be a flop when it comes out.

    Exactly. Instead of actually budgeting a purse bid to stage an event all they did was bid a number to win the purse bids leaving no money left for an actual undercard.
