    Do you ever stop, Rob? This is getting silly now.

    You seriously need some form of treatment. Electricity to the testicles might work.

    Please don't embarrass yourself. You are making so many of these negative threads.

    Your agenda is obvious.

    Why are you posting as Jonsey again? Have you moved back to the UK?

    Do you agree that Eddie has cocked-up Froch/Kessler 2?

    Aside from these fighters not being in the ring regularly for the sake of their progress, you have to consider the financial side of it. If they're fighting every 6 months or so and they aren't at a world level, they aren't going to be earning a huge amount. Liam Smith hasn't fought once in 2013 and when he does, he won't be making a years wage in one night, so if he's only in the ring once in 2013 - which is looking possible - then it must be a worry for him financially.

    Fighters need to have something in their contract which sees them get guaranteed money, barring injuries, suspensions etc.. No fighter should be tied down to a contract which doesn't guarantee them some money and if they don't fight in 6 months or so, they should be entitled to look elsewhere. It's just not fair to them.

    Not hiring a stadium and using PPV. It is limiting the fans and reducing the exposure. Putting Froch on Wossy is great, but I doubt many casuals are going to buy the fight. It's pointless generating all this publicity if punters are reluctant to pay for the fight.

    If it was on SKY Sports 1, I believe it would do at least 1 million viewers.

    Yes it will do well. In terms of where boxing is today it will be a huge success. However, this could a have been a super-fight that really reached the casual viewer.

    For me something doesn't feel right. This seems like a missed opportunity.

    The fighters are not getting paid that much. PPV wasn't necessary.

    Less than 6 weeks to go and only 3 confirmed fights for a PPV is not good enough IMO, Froch v Kessler a rematch off 1 of the dullest fights off the year were people were leaving half way threw the fight Bellew v Chillemba and Ahmed babyface Kaddour v Eric Ochieng

    Outside of not using a stadium, I don't think any other promoter would have anything differently or better. We are still 6 weeks away so I don't really think were in a position to judge its success as an event yet. PPV was necessary, they ate being very well paid.

    Your going on a hypathetical situation to be critical of Hearn. What has he actually done thats a ****?

    Digger again you are one of the most clueless people on boxing forums. All money going in main fight people bought tickets for apart from few hardcore that post on here how many care!

    In ideal works there be a big undercard but the cost of main fight says you can't! They probably should had few British title fights on the show!

    He can leave his contract if he wants! Fighters should do something instead of moaning!
