Parker vs Wilder, on an undercard fight in the UK.
You got more chance of seeing me sat ringside with Cameron Diaz on my lap.
Did you not get her message? Wants you badly mate, but you need to call her back ASAP.

I was in the £40 seats for Froch-Groves II (and probably will be this time as well), and the view wasn't as bad as expected.
You can generally see the action from your seat, but if you want a 'good view' then you will need to look at the screens - which were positioned just above the ring last time.
I was also at the top of the stand at Goodison for Bellew-Makabu, and I had a good view of the ring so there was no need to use the screens there...but there is an obvious difference in the height of the stands.
Cheers.
Gonna have to let the wife know if she's still struggling to get me an Xmas present that this is an option!

The WBC has announced that Gavin Mc Donnell is to fight for the vacant WBC super-bantam title. Can see Eddie putting this fight on the undercard of one of the PPV's.

this. Hearn uses stacked cards to sell the likes of Bellew vs Cleverly 3, not AJ vs Wk.

I don't think the undercard will be as terrible as people are saying, not as bad as when Haye headlined PPVs or Klitschko-Fury. If you look at the Froch-Groves bill at Wembley, again they didn't need anything on the undercard to boost sales but there was a world-title eliminator for Kevin Mitchell against a good opponent and the DeGale fight where a lot of people rated the unbeaten American opponent Brandon Gonzales going in. Something similar would be decent in the circumstances.

Yeah but you'd imagine that Klitschko will want a bigger purse than Groves received. It depends how much money there is available for an undercard. I wouldn't be all that surprised if each fighter walked away with £10m.

That won't be an undercard job I don't think.

Yeah you're probably right. That'll be another PPV from Hearn! I say that with tongue in cheek but it wouldn't surprise actually surprise me!

This doesnt need an undercard, people have paid PPV for AJ to fight walkovers so now he is actually in against a name the undercard can be scrapped. We will be treated to 3D holographic footage beemed into the ring for 3 hours of Joshua hitting pads with regular intervals of live footage showing him chilling out back stage staying humble.

I think Emmsee has it right. But we can dream...
Whyte vs charles Martin. Imagine the build up. May help what will be a very we'll mannered main event.
Buglioni vs cleverly
Price vs Chisora
Some local intriguing scraps

Briggs v Ortiz could be fun.
Whyte v Parker
Chisora v Price

Martin J Ward defending his British or challenging for his Euro title is nailed on for at least one undercard.
