It's a run out for the Matchroom boxers so there'll be no surprises; it doesn't have to be a slaughter though.

You act like they haven't shown adverts on PPV before......
I was live at froch Kessler so no idea what they did. Almost certain wlad v haye didn't have adverts?

I'm more pissed off with quality of fights at minute tbh!!
The fights at this stage of any card are gonna be shite. And I do mean any card. It's only the top 3 or so fights on any bill that are gonna be worth a damn. Obviously that isn't the case with tonights bill but moaning about the fights that are going on right now is pretty daft.

And there were ads in the Haye v Wladimir PPV bill.[/quote]

Cmon James. You know this is grim viewing. Jamie McDonnell is a former world champion *by default* so should of been in a far better fight than that and this guy Smith is in with which is an eliminator is terrible aswell.

No worries Neil; I've not seen Malinga box and think he's to box Hall now.

I appreciate that at late notice they aren't gonna get him in an amazing fight. For some reason whenever there are injuries pullouts or fights made at really late notice tho you just seem to ignore it and condemn it as a load of shite as if the matchmakers had months to make a big fight. You can slag the Quigg fight off and I'd agree. But I think the fights right down the bill here have a few reasons for being the way they are. If it's a choice between McDonnell not fighting on the bill or having a runout against a journeyman then I'd take the latter.

Hearn did say though that the undercard had to be outrageous for this to be PPV, I think it is but for the opposite reason..

The scheduled undercard was never good.

Hearn didn't even try.

Remember this fella that Smith has just done in 8 rounds was knocked out in 7 by a guy with a 13-7 record in an argentinian super bantamweight title fight last year.

I looked at both Hall & Malinga's boxrec and neither of them have a record as good as J's.
