He's the big name Hearn got in for the undercard.

I'm sure that will add thousands of buyers of the PPV

This PPV is hilarious, Groves gets added and fights someone with that type of record.

The first loss on southpaw Douglin's record came against a 14-17-1 fighter who caught him with straight right-hand down the pipe. Does anyone know what Groves' honey punch is?

Innit.

I'd be more concerned a light-middleweight knocked him sparko, though. I mean, if I cared at all, like.

Not a great fight, but Groves does rate well on sky the Rebrasse fight had 176k viewers.

How anyone can really say Hearn is any better than Fwank now I dont know.

Groves is the big name/fight??

Probably on a fair amount as well. So I think we can safely say that the PPV status will remain, no chance of a Khan/McKloskey last minute turn around now, if it was ever an option.

Eddie has had a shocker..... having to get the bloke who rejected him on his bill to try and save some credibility.....against a nobody....GG must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Sky clearly relying on casuals buying this based on names rather than fights. Let's hope it bombs.

The sad thing is, if this was Cleverly-Bellew, Quigg-Galahad and McDonnell-Hall, all fights that, with enough effort, could have been made, we would have had something PPV worthy.... the 'stacked' card Eddie keeps banging on about.... instead we have this nonsense. Laughable.

Where's Frank when you need him?

That's pretty funny, so Big Boss Barn must have stepped in to help Eddie and Adam's Piss poor PPV ( PPPPV ) and asked George to help out, then probably got told by his German promoters to go forth and multiply, unless he offers an over inflated pay day against a punch bag - so we get Den Douglin shipped in feet first, who'll probably last a round.

Just take a look at the light middle's record who knocked him sparko

Ok for the fighters maybe but for the fans i mean.

Well, you can't argue that Groves isn't a big name but him fighting a guy like this is just a joke & adds no real value to the PPV.

The fear though is that there are enough known names on here to attract casual fan interest & a high enough PPV buyrate could make this a more regular thing.

Groves is a name, but hardly a big name after being ko'd twice by Froch, once in decisive fashion.

Hearn has pulled out all the stops this time. A light middleweight club fighter trained by him mam! Surprised the ppv price hasn't increased with this one! Anyone else feel like it us robbing hearn now in terms of value for money?

I think Hearn is robbing himself of all the creditability he has built up with the fans over the last few years. It's blatantly obvious now that PPV is going to be the norm for any decent fight and the rest just build up to it. Smoke screen us and hit us in the pocket.

Stand firm and don't pay for this PPV!

Ah, at least the punters get the wonderful and extremely versatile brass band now GG is on the bill.

Shame they'll only get 30 seconds of Dam Busters played before the fights over.

I want to see DeGale's reaction.

I hope somebody went up to him. "James, this PPV your on the undercard of is bombing. Best bring in a big name. It's George Groves. People like him, right?"
