McGuigan a very capable opponent at this level. Must really love the sport to doing this at 40 and in this sort of shape.

Impressive for 40 but makes a crap fight.

Casey doesn't look good, but McGuigan is a nightmare spolier.

Yeah Casey doesn’t exactly look like he’s improving with every fight.

I've got mountains of work to do, but I'm watching the prelims. In fairness, this is a cracker.

Enjoyed that, cracking win for Eales. He’s got some nice timing when he puts it together.

Griggs takes a knee from body stoppage. Paulie M funny on comms, this is basically a moving punchbag for Frazer. Griggs morbidly obese

Griggs does the old “get up at 9” so the ref saves it off in round two. Frazer looked oks fit and amazing to see Joe G in there despite more challenges he has.

Silva v Christopher is an interesting opening fight on the main card.

No more journeymen for these two.

Griggs, the matchmaker and BBBofC should be ashamed at this match. These fights make boxing look awful.

Will Griggs have got a decent amount for that with it being late notice?

I enjoyed Paulie on comms.

Although annoyingly my phone keeps trying to autocorrect him to Pauline.

I’m so annoying I know I always ask about purses. Just interests me.

Ironically I have bought my wife loads of “gucci” purses in Crete this week for only 10 euros so she got a good purse….

I find it super interesting tbf…. I’d like them to release financial information but they rarely do…. Unless it’s a huge purse and they could be lying anyway. I’d like it to be like tennis where earnings are completely transparent

For the home fighters maybe 50% of tickets sales.
Maybe 3k for Griggs

I think he has a list of these that he pulls out.

And if anyone is old….. the last thing you lose is your power!

Cheers Coco. I always massively inflate expected purses in my head for some reason
