    Kelly-Rios not confirmed but if that's your definition of 'great' then my word you are easily pleased.

    It didn’t get over the line.

    Definitely not Kelly. I’m going to go with Brook.

    At 154? Honestly, Brook-Rios doesn't interest me there at all. Not now anyway, Rios is faded for sure. Good fight a few years back mind

    Maybe "Great" made it seem like I was implying something different.

    But I still stand by the other points. It's a solid card. Even the most avid Hearn haters I see on here and social media highly rate the card.

    Certainly not a case of being easily pleased. It's a card with good fights on it. Just enjoy it.

    150 I’m thinking. Khan says Brook fight only happens at 147. Fight now at 150 to ease Brook down before a December fight?

    All a guess game but I don’t see any other reason why Rios would be on this card and Eddie telling us there’s a big announcement for the AJ undercard to come.

    Cambell-Mendy is OK but Campbell wins easily this time. The other two fights are good. It needs more than 3 confirmed fights when it's 3 weeks away, come on.

    Admire your optimism on Brook-Khan mate but I don't think that fight is ever going to happen now

    how can you rate a card when there is only 3 confirmed fights in total? only 19 days left they better start announcing stuff or this is gonna bomb for AJ's standards

    I think it’s closer than ever. It’s not something I have any desire to see to be honest. To paraphrase @Jurgen these two are going to con the mugs and run off with the PPV loot in to retirement.

    Two fighters who I don’t think will ever fight for a world title again but somehow think they can justify being a PPV attraction. I think ticket sales and PPV sales bomb for this. At least with Whyte v Parker it’s two heavyweights at the top of their game trying to manoeuvre (a)nother title shot. This is just two past their best fighters taking the loot and going off in to the sunset.

    Agree with the summary. I think the main blockage will be that Khan thinks he can still get a Pacquiao fight...and to be honest, I think he probably can now. Now that would sell very well if they made it here, I think.

    If Eddie can get Khan the Pac fight I'm sure he could get the same for brook.
    If be pised if I was brook and he got Khan the fight first

    Brook would be easier too deal with in terms of negotiating for the fight (similar too the GGG vs Eubank negotiations) so the same thing could happen here, I’d rather see brook get the Pacquiao payday than khan

    I reckon Pac would be more inclined to opt for the Khan fight of the two.
    There was all this talk of Charlo and Hurd for Brook which has annoyingly gone very quiet very quickly

    If I was brook though after all that's gone over the years 're, Khan I would be inclined to push Eddie to get him the fight even if he had to drop some % of the purse, should Pac favour Khan over brook.

    Which would make the most for Khan do you reckon, vs brook over here with nearly all the ppv been paid for by brits and Khan getting the bigger piece of the pie.
    Or against Pac with the world wide revenue but a far smaller %.
    Years gone past I would of picked pac defoe but I'm not sure now.
    What do you think
