I know that a lot of you are wedged up Eddie's rear but what do people think of the forthcoming Froch show?

I'm going up for it, tickets are f**king expensive (which I don't mind) but the undercard for an international World title fight is an absolute joke...

I think a European fight or a World eliminator should be a minimum chief support...

For me, he's just going for the fleece...

They've probably spent a shedload getting Bute over and got no money left for a decent undercard. I agree it needs to be stronger as they have priced the fight pretty keenly.

Deff needs to be stronger but they are busing in one of butes stablemates. Hopefully a few brit title fights will be made for it such as voluntary defences.

I vote a 3rd aul david - tyrone wright fight

Getting Bute over here is a real coup - and also an expensive one so you can forgive the less than stellar undercard.

I like Hearn, he puts on good shows and doesn't seem to get involved in spouting bullshit.

It might not be a case of Hearn being tight - i'm sure Froch has got a lot of say about the budget for the undercard.

Lets be real how many times to we get the top I mean top fighters to this country with Showtime and HBO paying the big MONEY. I say well done to E Hearn the fight tickets were sold out based upon this fight not the undercards. Big Time boxing has come to Britain well done Hearns.........or would you perfer audley vs haye?

Was obvious in an undersized arena. Bought my ticket for the main event. Don't remember great Froch undercards under Hennessy? Not sure this said much about Hearn.

That's right all style no substance
Not a businessman, should put on a massive undercard make a stonking loss and say I did it for you
It's a sell out regardless of the undercard.
I shudder to think how much the debit column is for Matchroom to put this on.
If they break even - what a result.

Purdy v Vassell 2 should be on this undercard.

Did I suggest make a loss? No. Any businessman deals with value for money.

Well, you did, just not directly. Any more he spends on the undercard is a loss.

I'd go for just the Froch V Bute fight, some boxing fans are just never happy

Sorry but Froch was filling the arena on a Friday fight night against Robin Reid in domestic fights.

He could have no undercard at all and sell out.

Like others say, they will be working on a budget to pay Bute (the champion) close to what he normally earns with 18,000 in the Bell centre.

There's some decent fighters like Cotey on the undercard. His last fight was terrific.

I must say that i agree - the Froch v Bute fight is such a quality match i honestly believe that the undercard is irrelevant - and i don't often say that!

the fight still has just under 6 weeks FFS. Plenty of time for the card to fill up ...i dont think we will be let down.

Don't agree, he talked up Audley Harrison into getting a shot at the title. He talks shit when it suits him just like the rest.

I think he means throwing insults, rather than over-selling.

To be fair Audley even had half of us convinced.

Give him time Gomez he'll be calling Khan a fraud just like his dad in no time :)

Audley had you convinced? never mate.

Erick Ochieng v AA Lowe and John Ryder v Luke Robinson are good trade fights.

Ryan Aston is being pushed forwards against the experienced Paul Samuels.

There's nothing wrong with this undercard.

Ryder v Robinson is that confirmed?

Mark Bateson (Luke's manager) told me it is yesterday.

If a certain promoter had put together this undercard together people would be going mad

Eddie Hearn does seem to have quite a few Nut Huggers...

Yeah but does that certain promoter actually pay his fighters?
