Forget the pull outs. If all the fights happen as they on boxrec who has the better card?

Even if I ignore the PPV factor (difficult I know) FW's card is superior for me.
The main event is decent enough (and God knows, Fury just needs a fight), but Saunders vs Eubank is essential viewing. Add Sykes vs Walsh, Gavin vs Skeete, and unbeaten opponents for Buglioni and Patterson and it sounds like a good night. Hopefully it stays together.
Cleverly-Bellew II is interesting and I would be looking forward to it. Degale, Quigg, and Callum Smith's bouts are ok, if not spectacular, and I'm enjoying watching Joshua progress, but Sprott circa 2014 isn't a step up. Grove and McDonnell's opposition looks sub-standard. Not holding my breath for a quality opponent for Stephen Smith.

I completely agree, looks like everyone else does to.

I wouldn't be particularly bothered about the Bellew vs Clevery card if it was on regular Sky, let alone PPV. Absolutely no question which card is better (please FW, please let it stay together for once...).

the bad blood card blows this one out the water
to be honest even if you just get box - nation for this fight show and then the months that mayweather normally fights then your getting more value for money for your boxing than skys all year.

Clev v Bellew does nothing for me whatsoever.
Fury v Chisora is of interest, as is Saunders v Eubanks.
So Frank's show is better (for me).
Drifting off topic slightly, should Eddie call Fury's bluff and accept his challenge for a pre-Christmas showdown against Joshua?

Bad blood is defiantly the more intriguing. Couldn't care for cleverly v bellew and it's fake hatred IMO.
Saunders v Eubanks is again more intriguing than any of the undercard fights on the 22nd

It definetly isn't fake hatred, but I see what you mean the winner will probably get destroyed by Huck.

Am I the only one who thinks tomorrow's card is actually better than Bellew / Cleverly II, there is three very good fights on tomorrow's card.

I would say main events are probably on par, but the 29th undercard is a hell of a lot better.

I hadn't voted until I read this just now so I don't know why u said I had voted?????????
As for what card is better for me they are 2 good cards. I can't wait to watch Saunders v Eubank, and the other fights on that show are top class, u can't knock warrens show it looks amazing, BUT and its a big but
1. Will these fights all happen as more often than not these cards crumble and that's just a fact.
2. What allot of people don't realise because they are too dumb, your paying for that card, u pay £10 a month but no one seems to mention that????
As for eddies show its a decent show but to be honest I expected 1 or two more good fights with all the talk eddie was doing, for me it's worth the £15 as I like most others would spend that on a taxi or a takeaway on a night out so for me i
The £15 is not a big deal.
People are far too quick to jump on the band wagon!
People moaned about this show before any fights got announced. As I said from the start I will hold my judgement till the show got all the fights announced.
Having only 4 weeks to go till fight night, I'm guessing that the card is practically all complete and to be totally honest I expected a little bit more.
I try to give my opinions as honest as I can, I call things how I see them. Not everyone on here can say the same

??? I think we have all noticed BN is a subscription channel. So is SKY SPORTS, the difference is one charges an extra fifteen quid for one nights action the other provides a full month of vastly superior action included in your subscription and three quid cheaper! It's pretty simple.

I actually prefer Matchroom to Queensbury overall but...
Macklin's Dublin & Clev Bellew 2 cards for Sky Sports subscription plus £15 PPV or Kameda Hernandez, Hopkins Kovalev, Pacman Algieri, Fury Chisora & Crawford Beltran cards for a tenner...
As Kevin Bacon would say, this one's a no brainer.

If Clev-Boomer was on the Excel bill, it would be third or fourth best fight of the night(depending how much you like Gavin-Skeete).

jesus i did write a big reply but it failed.
to cut it short i lean towards the warren show but only by very little and as i said earlier i dont believe all the fights on that bill will go ahead anyway.
I expected more 50-50 fights from eddie but as it stands its not as good as he made out.
I will still happily pay the £15 as i believe it is a great main event and the card is half decent. But in truth i expected allot more.
The problem i have with people is they already jumped on the band wagon before they seen the card.
It may be worth running another vote after the two shows have finished to see what they panned out like.
Lets not forget that the best fight on the warren card for most is eubank saunders and lets face it eubank hasnt even fought british standard yet so it could be a 2/3 round demolishing.
