    Okay now we've probably seen the fight of the year, I have a feeling there will be a HUGE ppv in the Autumn.

    My guesses for the fights are the following.

    Joshua VS Parker
    Bellew VS Wilder
    Quigg VS Selby
    Callum Smith VS James DeGale

    Best of the rest
    Anthony Crolla VS Luke Campbell
    Jamie Cox VS David Brophy
    David Allen VS Sam Sexton
    Ted Cheeseman VS John Thain
    Hosea Burton VS Trent Broadhurst

    Not bad, but would you buy it? Hearn doesn't like too many competitive fights, but if it's PPV he'll try and put on at least two, but i'm hoping he will put on something like this.

    I'm guessing sadly he'll make all the four top fights individual PPV events instead.

    Yes it looks like any competitive fight will be an individual PPV now.

    Eh Day currently sucking us all in with Katie Taylor - would not be shocked at all when the day comes that Eh Day announces her World Title Challenge headlining live on Sky Box Office supported by Luke Campbell, Ricky Burns and Scott Quigg fighting a trio of puddings.

    Think hearns made a rod for his own back after last nite. Thats gonna take some topping. Its hard to get excited about a lot of them fights barring maybe joshua parker. I think joshua v wilder would sell very well. Hearn needs to keep the momentum going now. Think bellew wilders a waste of time. Would probably do allright tho. Degale v groves would be good but tbh there running out of time. People are losing interest in the fight.

    I dont think theres a big enough market to sell quigg v selby as a headline. Or even degale v smith or campbell v crolla. I think thats one card...joshua v parker. Then them 3 fights as well. Pushing it a bit but Parker wont cost near as much as klitchko to get over. With degale on their its a bit optimistic but thats what people should be looking for at least 2 of them and joshua v parker. Then a few filler fights.

    Is Quigg vs Selby honestly a bigger fight than Brook vs Spence?

    You couldn't pay me to watch those feather fisted midgets or was that supposed to be 1 big card?

    Parker isn't going to come for free though?
    Think he will be expecting 5 mill + at least IMO

    Quigg v Frampton was a stinker and this would be much worse.

    What did klitchko take tho? Parker wont command anything close to that i would have thought. Joshuas in the driving seat...hes the money fight of the division.

    Although it wont sell as well. The buys will still be high off the back off joshuas fight with klitchko. The only name on that list that could be a problem is degale. He ll command a decent fee. Selby v quigg. Campbell v crolla. And maybe smith v someone half decent. Should still be do able imo.

    There's no way Quigg vs Selby will be PPV, even Hearn would be embarrassed to put that on PPV.

    Right now sky and matchroom are getting ppv just right. They won't be stupid and put on fights on ppv that would struggle to sell.

    Quigg v Selby lol. As you said not a chance it would headline a PPV

    Tricky to see how Hearn puts Joshua vs Pulev/Ortiz on PPV for £20 after last night. If Joshua does go down the WBA route his next mandatory might be Shannon Briggs which would be a joke of a PPV.

    Can't see e Hearn putting anything like that on. Am shocked for groves on undercard for Brook fight. Yes casuals lap up olympians pounding on sum bum for a few rounds at 1-100 on but yeah gd see them progress but u wnat a few fights u actual care watch. A lot ppl prob just tuned into wlad aj as was such big fight anyway. Realistic lookin for one major headline and 2 good undercard fights etehr 60-40 50 -50 and rest mayb up comers or like Ohara vs Matthews young guy against one last hurrah sort fight but like a few others hink be all the Olympian and Katie Taylor. No offeneve her just no interest in woman's boxing at all.

    Unfortunately AJ vs Wlad being as good as it was probably means Hearn will go with another Bellew PPV.

    Bellew vs Clev 2 probably takes the crown of worst ever Matchroom PPV. So bad that a few of those have the potential to kill PPV for a while.

    Hearn admitted himself he was unsure if the Bellew vs Haye farce was a good idea. But he got lucky with that one by a shot Haye fighting with one leg.

    He knows Bellew has no business fighting for HW world titles, so he would have been wary making that one. After the resounding success that was AJ vs Wlad, and with AJ now having some exciting fights in the future, I think Hearn will take another gamble.

    Bellew vs Wilder or Parker is my shout. Bellew has already made noises about both of them. Zero chance of me paying for one of those circuses, like there wasn't a chance I was paying for Bellew vs Haye.

    after brook spence i see Bellew in a title fight followed by AJ's next fight and then if Khan Brook is made maybe that.
