Anyone care to speculate?

Or is anyone 'in the know' ("my brother's a cabbie & he picked up etc etc").

I feel this fight isn't as 'big' as the first one at the moment. They'll need a very good 2nd main event fight to sell out. Does Frank have any Manc or Scouse fighters ready for a big fight?

Brad Saunders.

I like the idea of both of those although I suspect Billy Joe will be looking higher up the rankings than Chris Jnr. Plus doesn't Billy have a Euro shot coming up?

The Board have made Blackwell mandatory for Saunders

Gavin v Bundu....

Butler vs Hall could be a possibility for the undercard

Both sides have agreed to postpone the bids, Saunders is fighting Emmanuelle Blandamura for the European title next, probably on next month's Copper Box show or one in the summer.

Think Frankie's fighting in Birmingham or close by next and Bundu has his mandatory, so it's unlikely it will be on the undercard.

Chambers is fighting on the bill too.

A load of one sided mismatches a bit like eddies card on saturday.

Main events a good'un though.

Surely this is Frank's big chance to show the quality in his stable to the casual fan who will probably order this. BJS has to be on there.

I'd imagine that Liam Smith would be on the undercard, I'm sure he would sell a decent amount of tickets with Liverpool being up the road and he could defend his British title so that gives the show another title fight!!

Terry Flanagan in a good fight is a must for this bill.

I don't think the fight will sell that well; they're going to have to put the promotion into overdrive.

He'll need a decent undercard with local lads if he wants to even half fill the arena IMO.

Derry Matthews comeback after injury fight?

I find it quite strange that it seems to be the case with this fight, I thought it would sell very well.

The fight game is 90% hype 10% fight. There's no hype behind this fight.

The fight has already happened before and Fury won it easily whilst being a tub of lard. The rematch is going to go the same way but with Fury possibly getting the stoppage this time I reckon.

I think Chisora has peaked, that he's done all he is going to do. This fight with Fury is a bit of mis-management really, its the problem of being managed and promoted by the guy who owns the TV channel. Fury/Chisora 2 is the best he can do to bring in new subscribers in the summer, and fair enough, it is a good attraction and well done to him for putting it together. It is in the channel's best interests, and the promoter's. It is not in Chisora's best interests. He is world ranked and doesn't need this fight to get an eventual world title fight. Fury will beat him and that will be the end of his career at world level.

Delboy will give it his all and I hope he pulls it off, but I think this deal is great all round for everyone but him.

I believe they're cashing out on Chisora. This fight is the most money his handlers can make for themselves off him.

I think Chisora has found his level anyway. He's not going to beat the likes of Wlad and so on. I dont see this fight bringing in the amount of casuals and subscribers like they're hoping for either.

The problem is, the hype is all tucked away on BN. They are preaching to the converted. Sky are a full time hype machine when they have got a PPV brewing. They give around twelve weeks build up, on Sky Sports News as well.
