general fight camp thread

[margaret thatcher]

a lot of thrads for the different cards, but not to discuss as whole

i dont mind them actually, some interesting ish matchups like tommy mac vs billy, jazza vs kidg, marku vs prodan, and also ones that cam e as rather surprised, like yildirim vs cullen. buatsi vs bolots should be lively enough while it lasts. the cabbage is always fun


my thin though, is with the added emphasis on quantity, i hope they dont mix tthe limp fights, like 35 year old sideshow female aussies, in with the serious fights.

it seems like some of this quantity just came through throwing more womens fights on

week 3 looking the weakest , even with world #1 p4p puncher savy marshall on it, but maybe some of those tbas will end up being tasty

[margaret thatcher]

yildirim and ford are the 2 internationals who you'd wouldnt expect on a sky show


.....i do like their fights tbh, vs cullen and belloti

[maverick23]

Lots of decent fights but I’m a bit underwhelmed by the cards - particularly the 3rd one where few actual fights have been confirmed. I guess that’s what happens when you talk about how good they’re going to be, it’s almost always going to end in disappointment.

Still no word on presenters/commentators?

[margaret thatcher]

ya week 3 needs a lot of work still........will prob be one of those 'stacked' cards with lots of names but weak opponents

It may turn out really good just not enough to go on yet. Marshall, Cash and Kash need good fights.

Week one has 2 good fights.

If wardly gets a good opponent then week 2 will be the best of the bunch i think. I have a pretty big heavyweight bias, i keep up with the top 10 and then a few select guys at most weights, but i try and keep an eye on heavyweight all the way down. Fisher, Babic and Wardly are all interesting players. Fisher has a little step up, Babic has a full big heavyweight, and Wardly has the always dangerouse TBA...

Week 3 is very week, if i wasnt so bored with buatsis carrer id be keen for that step up, but it really dosent do anything for me now. Honestly, id of liked to see buatsi just clear out the domestic scene rather than a random but decent Latvian iv never heard off.

[Offthehook]

best fight in terms of being unpredictable is yildrim culley.

very limited but yildrim been at the much higher level, but im thinking culley must have something to offer for this to be taking place.

interesting

Bolotniks could cause an upset.

Apparently it’s 750 quid a ticket.

Looking forward to how they spin that. ‘It’s just the price of a weeks all inclusive abroad for a great night of boxing Koogs’

How many tickets they selling?

[emallini]

Yildrim at that level might get the stoppage

500 I think.

I wonder if the £750 is for all 3 shows. Even if it is it’s very expensive. Shame as I would have tried to one of them.

Only like 300 tickets, so i guess they sell em fairly easy, got enough people with crazy cash to get that many sold... bit of a shame though, cause the crowd is going to know more about caviar than boxing... need to let 30 lunatic fans in free just to get some atmosphere (also need some noise to drown out whatever shit bellew might be yelling).

[Ruthless-RKO]

300 tickets sold out, we're looking at around £200k gate

if the £750 is per show, sold out each time, we're talking nearly £700k..

Don't need to pay venue costs either, i'm sure he must have soome of the stuff he used last year stored away if he bought them..

[JimJim2009]

I'd like to see Cash in with somebody meaningful, like an ex world title challenger. He looked brilliant last time out.

[D4v3]

Quite excited for McCarthy v Smith I must say

[Ruthless-RKO]

This week, Hearn said he hoped as many as 400-500 paying fans will be able to attend at Matchroom’s Essex headquarters and they will be paying, he estimates, around £750 per head

Visitors will have to be bussed in, as there is limited parking at the venue but once in the garden, there will be a choice of dining experiences, a champagne bar and cocktail tent included in the ticket price.

“It’s a huge cost to bring people in,” he said. “I lost a lot of money on the last one [Fight Camp] and will on this one, it’s like one show, but three shows in one.”

Already around 700 regular VIP ticket buyers have tried to order tickets, so each show is expected to sell out and Hearn thinks it’s the best way to kick off the DAZN deal, one that from July 2021 to June 2022 could see him host as many as 18 UK fight cards, with a minimum of 16 contracted.

might be the best matched fight of all the weeks
