    Hayemaker won the purse bids for Groves vs DeGale and its happening May 21st. Hennesey won the Barker vs Macklin purse bids im sure he would have done a simular deal to get that fight at the 02 where Barker would have done 3,000+ tickets no trouble.

    Macklin has bottled it. Gevor woulda smashed him anyway.

    I am disappointed by this, there better be a guaranteed WTF happening now. There's about 5000 Irish fans going to this so hopefully he has a good excuse to pull out. Granted.. most booked before he was added to the bill but it's something he should have taken into consideration when cancelling

    His career is going to stall quickly. The only thing to redeem this is if he's pulled out to fight for a world title. I like his spirit though and hope something good happens for him. The chopping and changing can't be helping things though.

    Why? Look a fighters main concern has to be himself. If it wasn't right to fight due anything (injury, prospect of a better fight/money/career progression) why should he? The only time this really applies is if he's a headline fight.
    The fighters owe no one nothing. The owe themselves as it's their lively hoods and health at the end of the day

    At least Casey went for it.Macklin would have ended up being KO'd as well,but get no props for ducking this challenge.

    what a load of ****.

    the bill is actually now horrific.

    Watson vs Purdy is up there with the worst British title fights for a while. and then 3 WBA inter something titles.

    Hatton promotions show some bottle make Murray vs Gevor and Quigg vs Munroe. Otherwise you ain't see nothing from my natwest!

    Why take Munroe down the WBA route when he should be goin after Ndlovu? It doesnt make any sense to go down WBA route, theres too many fighters already in line for that belt.
