Are you a current pro or an ex pro yourself then mate? Or perhaps involved in the business side of things.
Just heard it from a few bods mate
As an undercard fighter my best pay days were with FW.
Barry Hearn was also a good payer, but always £100-200 less

Wonder who DDD will fight though? Maybe Cojanu? Rekowski?

Totally unsurprising. Same pathetic stuff Warren did for years with Hatton and Calzaghe.
Give the man a genuinely world class fight and he will deliver dismal WBO filth for aeons.
A cancer on the sport.

Come on mate, get a grip!..cancer on the sport..
You do realise this isnt a PPV right??
Degale said himself he just wanted a run out, and that's what he's going to get. Selby is probably defending against Warrington early next year so of course he's also having a run out.

Ok, an overstatement given the circumstances. Apologies.
That said, as a boxing fan, I simply loathe Warren. This simply brings me back to the horrific days of him wasting elite boxers careers. I sincerely hope it doesn't happen again.

No need to apologise to me guvnor. What have you thought about some of franks recent bills since the BT deal like the Leeds card the other day & Gervonta Davis v Walsh etc? For me they been great cards full of entertaining matchups - we’ve also got Smith - Williams 2 tomorow which should be another good dust up.
Degale and Selby aren’t his fighters and this london card is more of a showcase (def for selby) for next year.
Give Old man Frank a chance boss- like or loathe him we need him to provide competition for Eddie

I think it's a great opportunity but I just feel that I am seeing echoes of the past. Boxing feels like a different sport these days. You cannot just get a fighter, feed then rubbish, and expect them to tick along.
I genuinely feel that two of the very best fighters this country has had in the last few decades are Hatton and Calzaghe, and I honestly think we should be talking about Joe as an absolutely elite boxer. I hate talking to Americans about him. I honestly think he was good enough for prime anyone his era; we saw him fight prime Brewer/Salem/McIntyre/Pudwill/Manfredo.

I Hear what your saying, but the days of Calzaghe and Hatton are not really relevant to today. As u mentioned earlier, boxing has changed, and is a very different market.
Tonight’s card is s cracking domestic bill and if frank keeps them up and delivers the odd big fight he’s doing a good job on my eyes
