He'll be getting plenty of cheddar for topping the bill in Monaco. He keeps busy, puts money in the bank and then moves on. Eddie can't just click his fingers and produce a Superfight for him. That's not how boxing works.

Fcuk me, you sound like a promoter. "Thats not how boxing works". Like a tag line for Ed and Frank for putting on shite shows.

As a fan, who likes watching boxing, i'd have much rather watched cordina against Zelfa or cacace in an arena suitable for a welshman facing a world rated manc or irishman.

Monte carlo shows are shit. No idea what he gets paid, hope its decent. Doesnt feel like he's maximising his profile.

If he wins, and gets foster next, fair play. But it isnt always how boxing works and it aint a superfight. As for eddie, he can barely make any fight these days, never mind a superfight.

Exactly this. Just put two good fights on between 8.30pm and 10.30pm on a Saturday night, in front of a decent atmosphere, with one of the fighters being someone I've heard of before, and if it can be both, that's amazing! That's all I want, on a regular basis. I ain't getting it, that's for sure.

Yeah, read it at the time. Still find it strange if he's getting paid more for this fight than zelfa or cacace, which are both very winnable and would build up his stock more.

After relative obscurity and inactivity he's been on fire recently. Seems daft to have a step down, and who knows this could be a potential banana skin.

Fair play - ultimate goal is unification fights.

Have you ever sat down and talked at length with one of the major boxing promoters?

Nope, and if you have and are likely to do so again, can you please tell them they are doing a wank job

These kind of fights are only ok for Cordina if he’s fighting 3/4 times a year. He isn’t so it’s disappointing but may end up a decent fight.

Good for him but I can list about 10 fights at super feather I’d rather watch him have than this one.

Good time to be a world champion.

But Hearn has to deliver better than just some domestic world title in house fights.

He gotta get bigger fights done for him.

Pay the money that’s being Freed up from ‘losing Canelo’ and get the unifications done.

Joe really should be a bit of a superstar, at the very least in the Bernard Dunne kind of mold. Exciting style of late, good looking, good talker and seems to be a nice guy. Many of us said he would be Wales' next world champion as soon as he turned pro but it just hasn't kicked on for him really with the mass public.

I really do blame the restrictive viewing of DAZN for this.

In all fairness, he's the IBF super featherweight champion. He'd have to do something really special to turn that into superstardom. How many of the IBF SF champs of the past are classed as superstars?

Steve Robinson was a WBO champion when WBO was very disregarded.

Bernard Dunne was Super Bantam Champion (and wasn't it a vacant title?)

Both I would consider bigger stars than Cordina.

Frampton also was a bigger star even before he bagged a world title.

Vazquez, the ninth-ranked challenger for Cordina’s crown, officially weighed 128.8 pounds.
