I saw the PPV banner on Sky Sports News last night and the way it advertised the card proves everyone right.

Cleverly Vs Bellew 2
Featuring Degale, Groves, Joshua, Quigg, McDonnell, Smith

They're not advertising the fights, just the fighters.

Unlike some on here, I like Hearn and Matchroom overall. But I feel like he puts way to much emphasis on "names" rather than providing us with good fights. To be fair, Degale Periban is a good fight but he's trying to sell this to the casuals and no casual knows any name on the b side of the card.

They may as well drop Quigg, McDonnell and Smith from the advertising too as an occasional viewer won't have a clue about them either

The lyrics of Hulk Hogan's entrance music neatly sum up my feelings about taking a stand against this PPV (apart from being American, obviously). Eddie Hearn, take note:

I am a real American.
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American.
fight for what's right, fight for your life!

When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside.
You gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide.
Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide.

I feel strong about right and wrong,
And I don't take trouble for very long,
I got something deep inside of me.
Courage is the thing that keeps us free.

Well you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide.

Hope Hulkster gatecrashes the PPV and clotheslines Eddie over the top rope (landing on Hearn .Sr).
