Could be horseshit but who knows..
Fvck that.
Can't for the life of me see how that would work. We're more or less in the same timezone with Germany unless they are only proposing showing the Smith v Abraham main event, in which case it isn't really 2 bills of boxing together.
UNLESS they're proposing Abraham fight Smith in Liverpool
If this is PPV I'll cancel my Sky subscription in disgust!
This is a good fight with genuine needle (it is genuine but I agree they were given a 'helping hand' Saturday) that will no doubt be hyped to hell by Sky but lets face it its not more than a domestic level fight is it?
In days gone by this may have been for a British title but in todays age of 'eliminators' I'm sure it'll be made for one of those.
I hope they make it pay-per-view, because no one would buy it, and the clowns at Sky would have to rethink about the B level crap they are being sold by matchroom.
Why would anyone buy PPV to see a couple of average domestic cruiserweights ? Bellew's wrestling let-me-at-him shtick is a good effort, but as we saw in the Stevenson fight, it means bugger all when the bell rings

+1. Total embarrassment if it's a PPV. Please do it Matchroom to show everyone how stupid you've been. 2,000 buys? Less?
If this fight is PPV then I will seriously be peed off, no way PPV!!! Never ever and anyone who says it is 'don't know sh&t about boxing' (R.Mayweather Snr 2009)
I can't see the appeal of the fight outside boxing fans, both fighters been exposed at the highest level so at best it is a European Title fight and no matter how much WWE type hype it won't sell to the people who went to the Froch fight or bought that PPV. It's not like they need the PPV money to justify the purses in putting the fight on so if it went PPV it would bomb and deservedly so.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Ricky Burns on such a bill as Hearn keeps saying about him fighting out of Scotland. If the show is in Liverpool then Burns v Matthews wouldnt surprise me.
If Bellew V Cleverly is PPV I, like most others posting here, will not be buying it. I can see the undercard all ready, Joshua v Rogan, Callum Smith v Tony Dodson, Kevin Mitchell in a final, final eliminator etc. etc.
Interesting to read that Froch v DeGale is in the works, not heard about that yet, seems a bit of a let down if true though. Froch is going backwards in opposition.
