Thanx columbo. You mean he avoided the mandatory contender? He only won it in May and now he's boxing an 8 rounder. All seems a bit strange to me.[/quote]

Apparantly he wasnt happy with the money on offer. I'm not sure if he realises that by "definition" that Mandatory means you cant pick and choose whether to take the fight.

You act like they haven't shown adverts on PPV before......

He was a decent boxer and had some fantastic boxers in his gym a few years ago (still got some good ones).

This is a seriously crap fight. I'm not sure if it's worst than the last to be honest.

The fights at this stage of any card are gonna be shite. And I do mean any card. It's only the top 3 or so fights on any bill that are gonna be worth a damn. Obviously that isn't the case with tonights bill but moaning about the fights that are going on right now is pretty daft.

And there were ads in the Haye v Wladimir PPV bill.
