Just seen an interview with Eddie Hearn and he was talking about this event for May 7th. He said he wants to bring over some former champions from America and around the world and he also said the line up will be complemented by exciting domestic prospects.

Who do you think will be in it? Tyson? Holyfield?

Who would you like to see in it?

James Toney would be great for it

need to probably pay him lot of cash to come though

Holyfield did the draw before so you never know he might be up for it

Think you might get someone like Joe Bugner (or is he a bit toooo old?).

Tim Witherspoon would deffo be up for it.

Oliver Mccall, James Toney, Martin Rogan, Sam Sexton, Michael Sprott, Larry, Tua!

Botha maybe as he's been linked here already. McCall would be another possibility. £32k isn't big money even at this stage to these guys, and thats f they win.

But a tournament featuring Oquendo, McCall, Botha, Rogan, Harris, Sprott and Vidoz.....by way of example....

The prize money might be greater for International one!

Ike Ikeabuchi.

And yes, I know.

Ikeabuchi is scum.

They won't get anyone like Holyfield or Tyson.

My money is on the likes of McCall, Hide, Toney, Rahman etc.

£32,000 would be a hell of a lot to these guys right now, Most of them are fighting for around $20,000 to $35000 dollar if they can get it. You just have to look at the american heavywight scene to see how bad it is and when was the last time HBO or Showtime did a big heavyweight fight, The boxing world has change.

Consider me educated Frank. Enjoy the weekend.

Butterbean would be good in a Prizefighter

You should have used the past tense, imo. He's really, really bad now. Cannon fodder.

He would put bums on seats.

Yes, I know he is fat.

I reckon this could be held at a much bigger arena and offer bigger prize money. Great idea if you ask me. Prizefighters needs something else now as its starting to get stale

He would end up sitting on his bum more like. Did I not see a vid of him getting sparked in Blackpool Tower?

Imagine a Welterweight+- Prizefighter, with the top boys? Prize = 5 millions $ for eg.. Networks snap it up, goes PPV...BOOM!

Nobody has the balls to take the risk though.

Where in London would it be held?

If you were going for Maximum publicity. Then this would be my list.

Butterbean
Audley Harrison
James Toney
Oliver McCall
Hasim Rahman
Bert Cooper
Herbie Hide

and (don't shoot me for saying this)

Kimbo Slice

Tua's a good shout and an easy sell (show the Ruiz KO over and over again, who Joe Public's familiar with from the Haye fight)

botha, toney, golota, bowe ! forget tyson and holyfield !

Fantastic idea and would sell out. Look forward to it.

I would like to see Cedric Boswell from the states. In shape I reckon he would beat Haye and give the Klits real trouble. Terrific old school fighter is Boswell.

would be nice ppv

Here is my 8

Cedric Boswell
Juan Carlos Gomez
Jean Marc Mormeck
Timur Ibragimov
Evander Holyfield (if able to obtain bbboc licence)
David Tua
Oliver McCall
Hasim Rahman

im one of several people on here that have been saying something like this should happen , who would i put in it realistically for a 32k prize ?

Jean-Marc Mormeck
Hasim Rahman
Audley Harrison
David Tua
Alex Leapai
Sam Sexton
Shannon Briggs (if hes recovered from his beating yet)
Bermane Stiverne

Replace any one of those with an african as i couldnt think of an African representative other than Sam peter who i dont think would be up for it despite the fact i think he would be a good additon .

it cant fail , theres loads of names who i think would go in it to make things interesting , some of whom others have mentioned , and who knows it could lead to a title shot for the winner
