He would bladder Liam, daft fight for Liam to take unless he wants the money but he's hardly a PPV draw in the states.

Was there something at Goodison for this Sunday's fights tonight? Saw Callum by ours in a belter new Merc 4x4 thing, can't verify but I'm pretty sure he came out the sun beds lol

Ya probably bullshit.i just excited easily on slow news days:D
Just catching up on boxnation jesus jackson took some nice slaps in the ko round.strange right hand shot that started it but his legs were gone.
Duno lad.wheres our resident bellow one man pr company tonight he might know plus he can tell you how many seats are left:dance:
 
That Haye fight on sat was a joke and the Briggs one they must have been sparring with better boxers, he's not a bad fighter Haye but he turns Boxing into a Pantomime at times.

All that [Poor language removed] dancing at the start thinking he was robbie williams on stage.just go down and do what your getting paid to do and leave the britains got talent act to mr cowell.
That lad fighting briggs was a grade A fraud.looked like he was only in a boxing ring for the first time a week before.you could nearly see him thinking in his head tryn to judge which punch would be acceptable to go down and collect a few quid.
Think someone said on here that haye took the foot off the gas and yep correct defo did.
 
Just looking through Sunday's card here. Oy Vey! An absolute embarrassment and I feel sorry for yous who are going. If Stephen Smith doesn't beat Brizuela handy he's at best a commonwealth level fighter. Callum might as well be fighting me, pathetic, and seeing Price's article in the echo tonight made me want to cringe for the big ugly [Poor language removed], my nan could slap him and he'd be asleep.

Top Spiv has done it again, salesman'd everyone into buying tickets based on the main event and putting on 3 hours of utter dross beforehand.

The only fight that is vaguely debatable is the main event, but tbh I can't see Bellew winning.

Matchroom are ruining domestic boxing right now, he needs reigning in the beaked up wide boy.

Same goes for the card in Scotland the night before, only Ricky Burns worth watching.

Koff.

He is making serious money though the slimeball.knows how to get the general public to hand over handy cash.think just the novelty of bellew and goodison would sell most of the tickets alone.if he was fighting anywhere else with that undercard they would struggle to sell half the numbers.

He's not soft mate. It's just annoying.
 
World title fight at goodison watching an evertonian come out to Z cars in a very tough fight, I pity the evertonians who don't want to go TBH.

Have a look at the Smith card next week, the Haye card last week, at least this one has a competitive main event. Mis-matches have been around in boxing since its inception, all promoters do it.

I can't stand Bellew, blue or not. But you'll notice I didn't mention the quality of the main event being lacklustre, it's not. The rest of it is piss poor and you know it.

The Haye stuff isn't worth a wank and Liam Smith fighting on box nation is hardly comparable to a Matchroom sky sports card. Or is it? When was the last time Matchroom put a semi decent card on sky sports? Even their box office lately have basically been Joshua and then naff all else.

So it's not just matchroom then, in fact their main events are probably be the most competitive fights over the 4 cards in 3 weeks.

The fact you've even brought the Haye card into it is mental, I know lads who got free £67 tickets for that for no reason other than them not being able to shift them.
Not even a talking point.

We said in this thread ages ago the Liam Smith Echo card would be pony, and it is.

The fact is Matchroom are hoovering up any boxer with an ounce of talent in the country and putting them on dog [Poor language removed] cards. Paul Smith (bad bell) was in a 6 round fight 2 weeks ago on the Crolla card, Martin Murray in an 8 rounder ffs, get in the bin.

Their main events sell tickets, Crolla being the last but stop settling for their crap because David Haye was fighting a fella that a drunk from the steps of the bombed out church would one bomb and an oap with a catchphrase beat up a mannequin on a terrestrial tv channel.

Hearn is putting on PPV's that would barely have been standard Saturday night sky sports one cards three years ago, it's doing my head in.
