Good move by Boxxer/Sky

Yep. There are so much worse that you have to kinda like Paulie. And at least he has boxed at the top level, heck, at least he has boxed for a start

He did an interview a week or so back saying it was Frank Smith at Matchroom that caused him to lose his job at Sky.

They were doing a public training session for a show and a fan was giving Paulie stick so Paulie spat at him. Frank clearly wasn’t happy so gave the guy a couple of free tickets which Paulie wasn’t happy with. He thinks Frank then got him fired from his role with Sky.

Regardless of what happened with Sky spitting at someone is one of the lowest things you can do to someone I think.

Paulie has been getting unnecessary stick for a very long time. Then he makes a bad decision.

I remember after the Usyk-Bellew open workout.

At the end most of people had left and he was still there taking.

Some fans started giving him shit and calling him over and making out like they wanted a pic.

Paulie gets no respect at all.

Spitting is the worst thing though.

Live draw now

Guys who is this lad "Savage Dan", seems out of his depth doing the hosting. Seems like another Youtuber bluffer put on Sky to get young viewers. Like Viddal Riley.

Dodd and Gibbs
That's probably fight of the first draw then.

Watching the coverage on IFl - Anthony Crolla in his new longer hair cut - he can join the "crap lookalike" brigade..... Joey Barton.

For £100,000 you know these guys have done the hard yards in the gym and will be giving it everything.
That's house deposit money.

[peter barlow]

Fair play 100k is a decent price for the winner. Hopefully it goes well I do think this model can work for them again.

It certainly tops BTs Birmingham card which is another sorry bunch of complete mismatches.

[brilo33]

going Lee Appleyard

[KiwiRider]

going Lee Appleyard

Same!
I just have a feeling his experience will see him through..
No way am I betting on him though
Tough to choose though, you dangle a hundred grand and who knows what will happen. We are probably going to get some career standout performances

[handsofstone]

Malignaggi is an excellent pundit and I've some interactions with him on Twitter over the years, he comes across sound but you can't be spitting on people's and the whole Conor McGregor situation left him looking pathetic

[Bookiesmacker]

Does anyone else think the bookies have priced this up wrong?

I expected Appleyard, Dodd and Farrell to be abit shorter and they are all underdogs in the opening fights.

Am I sleeping on the others? I know fields has been in with some decent fighters but the others records don’t look up to much to me. No disrespect to them. Just looking at it from a money making point of view.

That's HOUSE money where I'm from

Is that confirmed? Thought I heard somewhere it was £50,000.

Very impressive if so.

Rooting for Masher Dodd, but not very hopeful.

It was on the press release £100k.

and yeh, it is house money.

My house is actually worth just a little more than that. It would certainly pay off my mortgage and i'd have a few £10k's spare.

Went back and read the press release, thought they might have worded it cleverly and it was £100,000 spread across the quarters, semis and final.

Seems it is £100,000 for the winner though, that's great dough for 1 night and 9 rounds.

Hope they keep it up, should attract some decent names going forward.

[peter barlow]

Fields is active, been in with better opposition. Probably why he's short odds. Activity is a big one here imo

Remember guys, that 100K gets sliced up a bit, tax, gym, trainer, manager, accommodation etc.
It's life changing for the canny winner still, and I'm expecting it to be a massive motivator, bringing out career best performances

[KiwiRider]

It would have been so nice, as well as the money, to guarantee the eventual winner a shot at Dalton Smith for the British.

In the Prizefighter days these were often the springboard to opportunities like that as it raised the profile of the winner.

Anyone else hate this Super lightweight stuff

Prefer Light Welterweight and Light Middleweight
