    Say either Mitchell or Rose would be the title fight, Won't be Brook or Quigg, McDonnell doubt it Hall is fighting in March and rival promoter channels ect. Either way Rose or Mitchell loose their world title shot IMO.

    Are there any non-Matchroom, possibly non-UK World title fights that are due to go up for bids or that Eddie could bring over?
    Just thinking with HBO picking up the fight getting a big US fight fan friendly bout in chief support could be good for the show.

    Mitchell v Vazquez ?
    M Murray v Sturm ? If Murray leaves Hatton.
    Selby v Gradovich ?

    Given boxers need training camps, surely it should be announced within the next week at least?

    I agree but it wont make a difference to the attendance really, he would rather give one of his own fighters that kind of exposure probably... He has the chance to showcase to a much wider audience here, I hope he goes for it.

    It's gonna be McDonnel or Rose which is a bit of a let down imo

    Why would McDonell be a let down? Rose fair enough, he'll never win a world title.

    Most likely to be Quigg versus some utterly unknown Argentinian knowing Eddie.

    Brian Rose vs Demetrius Andrade is being targeted for the Cotto-Martinez undercard in on June 7th.

    Arthur Abraham vs Paul Smith would seem a natural as AA is already scheduled to fight on May 31st and Smith is somehow ranked number 4 by the WBO. No chance of it happening though as AA can make at least $1 million defending in Germany and there's no way Hearn will pay that kind of money to get AA on the Froch-Groves undercard.

    Mitchell vs Vasquez may be possible although would be a real buzz kill for the crowd.

    Jamie McDonnel is only rated in the Top 15 by the IBF and there's no chance he's getting a shot at that belt any time soon.

    Kell Brook vs Shawn Porter or any other Welterweight champion isn't happening any time soon.

    Krzysztof Wlodarczyk vs Tony Bellew could be a possibility seeing as Bellew is amazing ranked number 7 by the WBC but i doubt he'd have enough time to prepare between his fight with Brudov which he could well lose and May 31st.

    Of the other Top 15 ranked Hearn fighters, the champions wouldn't travel to England unless they were getting paid a lot more then they'd make in their home countries.

    Id argue that a fair few foreign fighters would be more likely to fight at wembley than say the O2 for the occasion of it all

    This is so true, don't know how it is possible unless somehow new fighters signed for Eddie
