*****'s at least *****'s had intriguing matchups and not just a card of mismatches. chisora didn't show up though
Daft question really this. *****s was better on paper and better in terms of how the fights went. Chisora was poor to be fair but the other 3 main fights were all relatively well contested. *****s card ****ed all over Eddie's
So many asterisks. From what I've read on Twitter Frank's show edged the content but wasn't as well ran as Hearn's.
The shows on Sky always seem like more of an event, the boxnation domestic shows look budget in comparison - even the point marked on the floor from where the fighters started their ring walk looked amateur. The BJS and Eubank Jnr fight made the show better in terms of actual intrigue and action but apart from that fight I'd rather watch Bellew and Clev 3 than Fury Chisora again.
******'s show had marginally the better fights, but given the way it was organised, scheduled and put together as a product, it was utter ****e. The biggest night of ******'s promotional career for years and he ****ed it up big time.
******'s show simply because of Buglioni-Robinson, Sykes-Walsh and Eubank-Saunders. Three decent fights. The Matchroom show didn't have a single one (except maybe Groves-Douglin).
I've actually gone for eddies, taking out the PPV controversy. the undercard fights were awful atmosphere killers on the FW show, for undercards I'd rather see a few one sided ko's in stay busy fights, and up and coming fighters stepping up - C smith etc, than see 2 fighters bore the **** of out people for 12 rounds. both headlines were stinkers though, best fight was BJS vs eubank big loser is british boxing, had a good opportunity to attract casual / part time fans + youngsters, doubt fans paying £17 quid for ppv, signing up for boxnation or paying 60quid+ for tickets will be happy with the value they got.
As I said in another thread one was charging PPV for a non PPV show, the other was charging world title ticket prices for a show filled with domestic fighters and had 2 fringe world fighters, so disappointed there isn't a 'neither' option
Wazza showed Eddie how it was done last night just like he used to show Bazza years ago. Ok the last fight between Fury-Chisora turned out to be dull, but at least it wasn't fixed like the atrocious Bellew-Cleverly PPV fight the other week. I mean Wazza had plenty of strength and depth in the card with Billy Joe Vs Eubank Jnr and it delivered. Wazza will just need to put on another one or 2 of them shows next year to remain top of the pops.
Seeing as the excel show for ticket payers turned into a farce, the toilets were empty cardboard cups and no security presence whatsoever from the sound of things how anyone can vote for ******s show is beyond me
