Perez on three weeks notice, unranked by the WBA and the last time he made lightweight was in 2015 against Crolla. This fight is going to make a fortune and the card's absolute dross.

I think that's a really good fight but surely it won't happen given its 12 days until the fight?!
You would've thought but it wouldn't surprise me with Burnett being the challenger, Eddie's probably told him and Adam Booth that this could be on and they've been working away, Haskins on the other hand has probably been offered a career best pay day??

Fingers crossed. That's a good fight. I've not been overly impressed with Burnett so far. Been hearing and reading a lot of hype and I've seen him a few times and he didn't look anything spectacular. Good little fighter but the way he was getting talked about was as if he was Frampton mark 2.

Booth said another 10 days for Burnett news.
Poor undercard for £19.95 and 90,000 tickets - must have set aside less than 1million tops for remainder of the card.
Think you're probably looking more like 500k for card. Still more than you'd ever get on a Klitschko card in Germany. Problem with this, is that it's a joint production with Klitschko's people, who are probably pulling the rug from under Matchroom a bit.
