Good fight.

Shame it's propping up a PPV instead of being on normal sky.

Lenroy Thomas v Dave Allen added too.

I suppose in an ideal World the best we can hope for going forward is Chisora v Whyte and the Selby brothers. I know neither are signed to Hearn but surely if you are Cyclone you aren't gonna complain at Andrew Selby getting a fight at the Millenium Stadium and likewise Lee surely wouldn't turn a voluntary down to keep ticking over. His big problem is inactivity. Possibly Scott Quigg on there too and I'v mentioned Katie Taylor. I can't see there being much more to add.

Andrew Selby has got a fight on the 7th October an eliminator for the WBC world title

Riveting affair.

Whyte thinks the Chisora rematch is a PPV headliner and only wants it for £1million apparently.

Pulev saying he did not have enough time to prepare and blamed it on his team. I wonder if he was not expecting Joshua deal to come true and was caught surprised. Maybe sneaky Kalle promised him he wont have to fight Joshua and still made a deal with Eddie.

It can headline but not a PPV imo.

Whyte tried to headline before and it all went pete tong.

Pulev to score the upset.

[Oiky]

Pulev will do well for a time then get KOd

Would love him to get the upset though..

[Tanzio]

Pulev is an intelligent operator. I think that he will keep his distance and look to take control in the second half when his team believes that AJ will gas.

But that is when AJ will put him on ice.

[KiwiRider]

With the undercard now released, this is a very decent fight night. Props to Eddie. Hard to top the Wlad fight with Pulev, but the undercard on this one is sweet
PPV approved by management

He said he's still to announce two more fights as well the chief support and one other didn't rule out both being world title fights

Joshua is the best thing to happen to boxing in this country for years. Fights regularly, attracts fans, gets involved in exciting fights. Unless you were Bulgarian I'm not sure why you'd love him to lose to be fair.

In response to Eddie Hearn's comments "when is the last time I've short changed the PPV fan" - ummm.... I wasn't a fan of the Joshua vs Breazele PPV. Whyte vs Joshua was exceedingly dissapointing to be a main event of a PPV also.

His worst PPV was the Cleverly Bellew rematch. A lot of names, but no really good fights. Brook Gavin may have been the worst main event but the undercard (world title fights for Selby and Mitchell in well matched contests and Joshua's first step beyond domestic class) was spot on.

I think after Joshua Whyte it became clear that the figures just added up for Joshua. PPV value is largely dictated by how many people are willing to pay for it, and at the minute, Joshua vs just about anyone you can sensibly consider is a PPV fight. His first world title defence was always going to be PPV.

[stujones]

To be fair - Eddie mentions that one.

Quigg vs Frampton was pretty disappointing - pretty shite undercard, good main event on paper that ended up pretty awful.

I would have mentioned Bellew vs Haye - but Chisora vs Whyte saved it.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I would have mentioned Bellew vs Haye - but Chisora vs Whyte saved it.

Not the same card.

Oh shit no it wasn't - okay... Bellew vs Haye also. Pretty awful lets be honest on paper the main event was a bit of a mismatch and the undercard wasn't that great.... but yeah the main event did surprise, but also Haye was crocked.

I generally love huge upsets....they can be extremely exciting and keep things fresh, reminding us of the uncertainty in boxing. A Pulev win would be a more notable event to me than an expected AJ beatdown win, and it would be a shock that comes on a massive stage.

So, I can see how someone would love the upset, without it being a case of ‘we hate him and want him to lose because he gets hyped, people rate him, and his promoter's a cock!’. Granted, I'm not British, but I don't think British boxing fans have any obligation to support Joshua.
