If Groves v Froch is PPV....

I think it would need a world title fight to justify. But I think people will still buy this regardless. I think they will sell the fight to scrape decent numbers

 

Impossible to see Barker v Macklin on there.

Burns shouldn't be messing about with Crolla.

So many fights going on with Matchroom I'm not sure who is where! Regardless they need a secondary fight that is absolutely huge.

Hearn told us the same **** about a massive undercard for the Froch - Kessler fight and that was a pile of shite so don't believe everything you hear from Fast Car.

 

undercard for haye fury has yet to materialise aswell

 

I think the groves card is heavily reliant on barker winning a world title. Kelly's out in October, quigg is on his own card, Mitchell isn't ppv worthy, the Olympians ain't ppv worthy. A lightweight matchup between crolla, Matthews, coyle or any of that lot isn't good enough.

Hearn needs barker to get the IBF title to stand a chance of passing this off as a ppv card.

Froch groves
Barker vs macklin, murray, lee for IBF title
Mitchell vs Matthews
Selby
All the 3 Olympians

Possibly if he has it on the same night as bellew fight he has 3 world title fights and good undercard.

Boxing fans are miserable, moaning and divas, so I think he knows the pressure is on to make sure that the froch card delivers. Especially if fury haye is a let down.

 

I actually think it's gona be a cracking fight but don't think it's a PPV, Groves isn't a big enough name, maybe if Groves had a world title and you could sell it as a big British unification fight. If it does go on PPV then a hope Eddie is true to his word and provides a 'monster' undercard.

 

burns could be out again by then to help out the undercard

battle of britain card - groves froch - barker macklin - burns crolla

 

Surely Barker - Murray? Who wants to see Macklin again? Arrogant *****.

 

I've no problem with seeing Macklin :yep
He's an exciting KO waiting to happen

 

Agreed in that if Barker gets the IBF, he'll be there to pump up the Groves/Froch undercard.

Groves v Froch
Barker defending his world title
Ricky Burns defending his world title
Mitchell v Matthews
The Olympians

Eddie would have pulled off a little master stroke with that one.

 

hearn mentioned macklin in an interview as the 1 they would go for if barker wins

 

Good scrap if that comes off.

Thing with Macklin though, has he been in too many wars now? I don't think the GGG fight took that much out of him because he didn't get a prolonged beating. I rate Macklin but say that fight was to happen, Barker's confidence would be sky high, Macklins on the other hand wouldn't be.

 

They'd only choose Macklin as he's the easier option I guess?

Much prefer Murray and that would be a cracking fight. Would make Murray favourite for that.

 

I can't see them going for murray, barker murray is a show own it's ow. Whereas barker mackling is just a good bout that holds up a ppv card.

Completely forgot about burns....I think burns would be huge to pared to crolla.
