    He got his cherry popped in Queensland on the Pacquiao Horn undercard by Aussie David Toussaint who retired at 13-0 due to a back injury I believe.

    It certainly doesn't appear, at the moment, that the floodgates have opened and all the top contenders are rushing to sign with Zuffa.

    I think something we're overlooking here is that when Zuffa fails to land enough boxers out of the gate, the plan may be to simply add more fighters from kickboxing and MMA to their roster as boxers.

    They may be setting this up with the next Usyk fight. Signing a couple names from the different leagues could be the fallback plan. Driving up viewership by attracting additional fans from outside boxing is likely as important, even if the boxing product inside the ring will be extremely "watered down."

    Also, there’s a lot more to it than just signing up every out of contract fighter, you’ve got to get these guys the right fights at the right time and you’ve got to put up decent fight cards you can’t just expect to throw a load of names together and expect it to take off

    I’ve got to be honest I’m not overly high on many of the guys they’ve signed so far and the ones that I am intrigued to watch I’m just left wondering what fights will they actually deliver for them? benn vs prograis is of no interest to 90% of actual fans surely?
