Well, this is another blow to the card. I take back my earlier comment about the card not being canceled. One more fight goes down and I can see the entire card canceled.

This cannot proceed as a PPV now surely???

It would be a fantastic Saturday night bill if at least two of Cleverly-Murat, Sexton-Chisora and Brook-Jennings goes ahead but it simply is not a box office bill anymore.

Oh ffs... that's disappointing, although personally it's not as disappointing as Barker's withdrawal. I think it still looks a good card but I don't think the show can survive any more cancellations.

If your going on the 18th, bring gloves, you just never know :lol:

I never grasped why it was to begin with.

I associate PPV with super-stars - lots of good fights here but not one world-champion if such a thing actually exists any more.

Well I got my nose opened last night at training (bet there are a few on here that would liked to have been there - or done it!) by a little fat lad so I think I will give it a miss!

Still a stong line-up as long as there are no more drop outs

1) Nathan Cleverly vs. Karo Murat, 12 rounds, WBO light heavyweight eliminator
2) Enzo Maccarinelli vs. Alexander Frenkel, 12 rounds, for Maccarinelli's European cruiserweight title
3) Derek Chisora vs. Sam Sexton, 12 rounds, British/Commonwealth heavyweight unification
4) Kell Brook vs. Michael Jennings, 12 rounds, WBO welterweight eliminator
5) James DeGale vs. Carl Dilks, 12 rounds, super middleweights

1. PPV worthy?
2. Might still be strong but it isn't what it said on the tin, is it?

good grief is Jennings Brook on there 2 I've been living on a compound for weeks.....that plus the heavyweight clash , not to mention Cleverly would tempt me to go.

Right now Booth Molitor is all that's on my radar.

A real shame I would have loved to of seen the cancled match ups! Still a great show if it holds where it is, but I agree not a PPV event now. Which is of no bother to me as I got £50 tickets and the Sexton v Chisora fight is my main interest.

as long as 1-3 dont get cancelled that will still be a pretty solid card imo....
