Matchups yeah maybe, but names alone? No way. Povetkin, Price, Burnett, Crolla, Kelly, Cordina, Buatsi on that card. This one has just Campbell and Okolie. Big, big difference in terms of names. Campbell and Okolie have no pulling power in comparison to the Joshua-Parker undercard.
I'm disappointed with the way this card has shaped up. Is it being co-promoted with Povetkin's promoters and therefore a few slots being saved for their fighters ?
Just got offered a floor seat for £200. I counter-offered £140 waiting to hear back. Not gonna lie I would jizz my pants if Povetkin flattens Joshua and we see the bumboys and IG slags in tears.
I’m surprised Dave Allen hasn’t been added too the bill yet considering all the rumours about ticked sales
Odd that ticket sales wouldn't be as good off the back of these ticket sites being clamped down on. Really odd.
Povetkin is gonna give him the Mihai Nistor treatment! It's gonna be light outs for that stiff robot. And you'll be crying all the way back to crappy Birmingham!
Regardless of these sites the demand doesn’t seem to be there? It’s not sold out. People aren’t buying on the primary market, let alone the secondary.
Feels like it's been pushed less than the Parker fight for sure but I can't quite work out a useful reason for that
Got an email from Now TV. Buy half price Sky Sports for a month and also get a free code for the PPV. Never had that for any other PPV. Wonder if they are concerned PPV numbers will be down. I'm sure they'll still count these 'buys' in the numbers they release.
Never heard of that before ! But, expect the Sky Hype train to get in motion now and you won't be able to open your curtains without Joshua being there for the next few weeks. Casuals interest will pick up.
