Phil Jefferies won't have the capital to cover this event so who is providing the money ?
If it makes money, it won't matter.

No TV (as yet) and the tickets aren’t selling well at all.
Will be tough to cover the costs unless it’s being backed by someone.

It’s not this week.
I think it’s next week now but there’s been little about it so who knows. Boxxer were trying to get involved as a co-promotion which clearly didn’t happen.
Who said Boxxer were trying to get involved?

Someone I know works at Sky Sports as a cameraman. Does all the boxing and a few other sports. He was said he was provisionally booked for it.
They didn’t mention the fight but was in Newcastle on that date.

Matchrooms NextGen is outselling this one big time! Just shows the lack of promotion and backing is killing the show

Yeah. I’d have thought they’d have priced it reasonably low but no - would still be an expensive night out.

Just a show where all the main fights involve ex-MTK, then ex-Probellum boxers.
No TV money, not particularly well promoted.
Nothing to see here, move along, all in order...

I'm sure if they can get small hall shows on Facebook and/or Youtube, they can sort this out.
Maybe they're looking for a deal.. lastminute.com

They might sort a YouTube channel to show it but they’re not going to pay much for the privilege. Venue hire, fighter and their teams expenses, promotion (venue hire of weigh in and press conference) plus fighter purses is hard one to cover with not many tickets sold.

What you reckon the purses will be for this main event ?
I imagine ritson and davies would have had some decent purses in the past on other platforms

I’d imagine it should be something like £75k each. Who knows though. I’d have thought it would have been promoted properly, sold 6,000 tickets and been on TV too.

Same here.
Could be a pretty decent, evenly matched fight, even if both men have flattered to deceive at times.
I am surprised it hasn't been promoted better and why havent any TV companies picked it up?
