New date set

thanks Ruthless, I am glad it's still happening. A definitive fight for the weight and duo.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[jameswilson]

Standard Chris Eubank Jr opponent there.

[margaret thatcher]

ya f@cking hell, even on a turki card he's fighting on a knockover? ehhh

[coneye]

Standard Chris Eubank Jr opponent there.

Plus standard rubbish womens fight

[margaret thatcher]

ya, i mean hell this is a very good card still, but elements of 'the usual' are creeping into saudi with this one

[Coco]

The Saudi nights have been great, and now Fast Car has got his gf on...

The main event will be amazing, also the Wardley v Clarke rematch.

Eubank is always a good watch

Jai is getting another domestic standard Brit for an easy night.

Big fight for Cordina

Be interesting between Whittaker and Cameron

[garethhop]

Be interesting to see the timings of this show, and who the main event is targeted at?

[Kilburn]

They’ll be giving Opetaia a Lonsdale belt at this rate.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[MightyWarrior]

Brilliant main event obviously, but Eddie doing his usual to turn what could’ve been a great undercard into it mediocre one. A missed opportunity. Turki gotta stop listening to Hearns bullsh*t.

other than the Clark fight the rest are probably 20-1 ceremonial fights. Joe has no chance.

Goldstar and Queensbury are the lead promoters and Boxxer have a big influence on the card.

[MightyWarrior]

Oh, I see. boxxer are getting in on the act. I don’t know why I thought Eddie was in on this one. I’m really looking forward to Ben Wittaker getting blasted out one day, and it’s not usual I say that… I’m assuming this guy has little chance.

Eddie is involved. Just one of many.

I think the timings will be similar to previous shows I.E. main event at something like 12.30.

The running order will likely be as the fights are listed on the poster so Shakur a bit later for anyone watching in the US. I don’t know if they will aim or try and monetise in any way in Russia.

It’s strange that the undercard is a bit underwhelming. We’re used to seeing a handful of 50/50s whilst this has quite a few seeming mismatches. The Eubank fight is a shocker to me.

What I do find strange is 3 of Boxxer’s biggest names fighting on there. Whilst Matchroom/Queensbury haven’t exactly been putting on loads of good shows in the U.K., we’ve had 1 U.K. show on Sky since July 1st and nothing else is confirmed. It’s a concern for me particularly given there’s only c.9 months left on Boxxer’s deal with Sky. I listened to an interview with Mayer and she said Boxxer kept on reneging on dates for the Jonas rematch.

[mickey1975]

Fwank said he wanted Sheeraz or Bentley in with Eubank but he wouldn't have it.

[maverick23]

Fwank said he wanted Sheeraz or Bentley in with Eubank but he wouldn't have it.

Either would have been a lot better than what we’ve got.

[magnus]

They wanted Opetaia-Billam Smith for this card, but CBS said he wasn't prepared to "shorten my camp", so looks like Massey is the beneficiary of that decision. He is far more deserving than Zorro or Thompson tbf.

And yes, even on a Saudi card, it's the most Eubanky of opposition for Eubank. Isn't this supposed to be the type of fight that Alalshikh has no interest in?

It's a good card by overall standards, and Sky will do the hard sell, but UK fans are back in a PPV every month stage again.

[Coco]

Shortening his camp?

He has enough notice, and it's big money

That's the type of excuse experienced cyclists make

He probably wants the fight in the UK. Can't blame him for that.

And earn 10% of the money, if it is true he has turned the fight down, something smells fishy

How much does CBS get in the UK for a sell out fight v Opetaia on PPV and what is Saudi paying them as a 3rd or 4th on the bill?

It will be very expensive bringing Opetala to Bournemouth, when he is the headliner and used to Saudi money.
After McGuigans cut he won't be left with much.
I just can't think of a good reason why he turned the Saudis down.

If the reports are correct Jai earnt less for the Breidis fight than the Zorro fight. Him v CBS is big money on PPV in the UK and headline. CBS might see it as his last fight so wants to go out at home.
