This is disapointing .... I was looking forward to this one

[The_Don1]

eeek, first Murray now Purdy, there's not gonna much of a bang with this christmas cracker now.

[Boxingcutsman]

Matchroom & Sky, the home of the one sided big farce shows this is a joke, all there recent big world titles & world title eliminators have been pathetic, then the 2 best match ups they've made all year both fall through.

[TJ77]

Shame was really looking forward to that one.
Anyone know if Jones was already over here ?
Cant blame Purdy he was gonna need to be a hundred percent.
Read he thought people were over hyping Carson Jones not Imo.

[danfoster]

Have to say, if this was a Wa rren show we'd all be shouting 'rip off' ...

yep !

[palooka]

I was looking forward to that, imagine Jones is gutted.

Purdy is currently one of the biggest hype jobs in British boxing.

Lynes dominated this cocky fool.

Is this bill going to survive? If it wasn't for the Kessler vs Magee bill I would have thought it would have gone against sky's - main event must be for a decent title policy (no disrespect to the English and Southern Area titles).

I do expect Hope vs Barker will have some title on it now and promoted to a 12 rounder.

Can Barker fight for the vacant EBU title for the millionth time.

Real shame , what initialy looked like a promising show for sky appears to have almost fallen apart with yet another withdrawal.

The other real shame is,for me,the best two fights on The next two weekends are ,as far as I'm aware are not being covered live on sky or any other TV channel.
Crolla v Farrell For the English title and Rose v Webb for the British title are almost being ignored . I do hope both are well attended . I will be at Blackpool .

Barker v Hope is now over 12, so expect some plastic title on the line...

very very true, 2 great fights that have got no tv, it's appalling, and all because Adam Smith & Matchroom thought they were smart monopolising the tv shows together, now the paying public and fans are suffering has a consequence of there actions. There stopping us having the right to see different promoters shows and prospects from around the country every week. Promoters and fighters who very much need that exposure and tv money, it's a joke

[Final round]

Bad luck. I thought Barker was injured is he ok now?

I for one am delighted that no other promoter has fighters pull out, leading to a show less glamorous than advertised (ahem). Put the stones away mate, your roof is about to cave in

[Boxingcutsman]

Of course fighters pull out and fights fall through, it happens week in week out pal, so what are you on about ? No one has said they don't. (The face symbol at the end says it all. I was looking forward to the fights for a change then this happens to both thats what that post was about) so take your sarcasm and do one

Carson landed at 2.00pm today.

Carson landed at 2.00pm today.

Apparently they trying to get him a replacement. Should got Rees one last week.

Oh dear, sorry to have offended your innocence. Every post you make involving Hearn uses the word pathetic, which is quite ironic really. I have no problem with you, if anything there is an admiration for how you've made your way in the game, but don't be play all innocent.

who else could they get to fight him at welter at such short notice?

[whiskey]

Unfortunately it happens (Murray & Lynes) but the intent was there and I can't see how it could have been avoided.

Lets see if they manage to get someone in for Jones at least. He was good value last time.

Hard work and taking your chances, it wasn't a knock. As I said, I have no problem with you, I just find your anti-Hearn posts hypocrital, that's all.
