That's a bit different lol. AJ is the biggest draw in boxing, he's satisfied with what he's making.

Re: Degale and Selby - FW promotion

Just seen the interview with Hearn. He's basically saying Degale wanted more money than he was willing to pay for a warm up fight.

Re: Povetkin is so overrated

I've never been that high on him. Obviously a great amateur and still a very good pro- that said, the same guy who fought a nip and tuck fight with a blown up cruiserweight in Huck; comes back from being dominated by Klitschko, and he's knocking people out, left, right and centre. Aswell as having c...

Okay I've just seen that Degale hasn't signed a long term deal with FW. It's on a fight by fight basis.

Yeah that was exactly it. FW pays late (allegedly) but is more generous.
FW certainly pays the journeymen a lot more and on the night, in cash.

Re: Degale and Selby - FW promotion

Yeah I don't know myself obviously. Eddie has always seemed more conservative and sticks to a strict budget (which is sensible really) whereas FW is perhaps a bit more liberal.

Re: Degale and Selby - FW promotion

I always got the feeling in interviews, that Degale didn't particularly care for Hearn that much. He played it down when asked about it by Kugan, but there was just a feeling that something wasn't quite right. FW has a good relationship with Bob Arum and Top Rank though and the WBO, so perhaps they...

Re: MMA

Till vs Wonderboy if he gets past Masivdal would be interesting. Two great strikers. Masvidal has been getting really good the past few years. It's a really big 'if' for Wonderboy getting past Jorge. His losses within the past few years have been SD losses to top competition. Yeah its a great match...

Re: What factors would make you purchase a PPV?

Im starting to buy them less and less. Normally the fights are posted up on youtube within 20/30 mins of them happening. So why bother.

However if they're PPV worthy ie Groves-Eubank jnr then ill buy them.
