These Middle East cards are just blatant money grabs.


But hey, if it means we get the fights we need, then I’m all for it.

Boxers, as life threatening as their job is, as a whole, are overpaid.

No one told them to be boxers, they know the risk.

But income should be based on what you bring to the table. Unless the Saudi and Dubai come and pay you millions to fight there instead.

Good boxers in the U.K. and US are overpaid on the whole compared to their true commercial value. This has been predominantly paid for by fans in recent years with more PPVs, more TV networks to pay for, a higher PPV price and, for a lot of event tickets, massive price increases.

Here we have an excellent main event and a really strong undercard and it’s paid for seemingly with oil money. Fine by me and hope it continues (although not at the expense of the frequency of U.K. shows).

Zurdo is a big old lump, could cause Biv some problems. Good fight, decent card too, one of DAZNs best.

The bookies have Cameron favourite. Am I the only one that thinks McCaskill should be favourite as she’ll likely just outwork Cameron?

I agree..

Won’t be surprised if the fix is in for Cameron.

He’s spoken about Taylor vs. Cameron at Croke Park.
