I want to see both these guys go to heavyweight.

But for Jai I would also like to see him go for undisputed cruiser.

Unify or heavy.

They obviously aren't interested in the fans as it clearly shows that there is absolutely no atmosphere in this stadium. Everyone is sat on their hands and looking bored as washing on a washing line. The the main event could fill Wembley stadium two times over and the atmosphere would absolutely be electric, not only that how much economy would that give to the London area and businesses around Wembley stadium?

It’s their job. The main focus should be money

I know what you are saying but it's us British fans that have put them where they are, when they were novices and where begging fans to buy tickets from them we supported them and bought their tickets. They have now sold out to the Saudis and don't give a s*** about British fans anymore. It's not just British fans who miss out it's all the businesses in this country that could benefit from extra finance from these events. Not only that but you have to remember we live in a world where people are fighting against each other and there are many unscrupulous people who would love to see the United Kingdom fall.
