Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 10, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2020 some decent dustups this weekend, ill try catching the main events at least: not sure if either is on UK TV, though the Top Rank show will air through the Fite App for a few quid. Got the Shields/Habazin card on Boxnation tonight too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 McGuigan is an odd bloke. Met him twice through various work things and he's incredibly paranoid. I always hoped Frampton would move on and was glad when he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Does anyone actually like Barry McGuigan? Every person he crosses seems to think he is either shady or difficult to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 10, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2020 Loved watching him as a fighter. Didn't he get binned off Sky as a pundit for saying that the Audley v Haye fight was shit? As a promoter it always looks like it is about him rather than the fighter. Also looks dodgy as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 24, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hearn has said Joshua will accept 50-50 with the winner of Fury vs Wilder in Saudi Arabia. He's taking the piss. They're the draw not Joshua, and either will be an even bigger draw after their next fight if there is a winner.  They'd both have Joshua too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's nowhere near skilled enough to avoid Wilder's big shot for more than four or five rounds. And Fury dances rings around him for the duration, potentially even stopping him late. For me, the Fury fight is the one to make, although not in Saudi fucking Arabia. Get two British heavyweights and get it sorted for London or Cardiff.

London or Cardiff makes sense from a fans point of view, but the Saudi regime is probably paying more than 90 thousand at Wembley and Hearn and Warren care more about that. I'm not buying a PPV from Saudi but there are plenty of people who will so they wont even lose out in that regard. Does anyone know the PPV numbers for Joshua v Ruiz II? Just in case I'm talking cobblers (Fair chance let's be honest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 24, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 24, 2020 going from the recent Eddie Hearn interview i dont see that fight happening till sometime in 2021 anyway, i think Joshua/Pulev, Joshua/Usyk will the fights this year. Joshua/Ruiz II PPV numbers were huge, it did 1.5 million buys in the UK, 3rd biggest of all time (behind Joshua/Klitchsko, Joshua/Parker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 24, 2020 Been slow on my Boxing news lately but just seen that Scott Quigg vs Jono Carroll is back on for March in Manchester. Well happy with that. It was meant to be on the Ruiz vs Joshua 2 undercard but injury cocked it up. Really looking forward to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a surprise. I figured that Joshua coming back after losing would have been a huge deal, bigger than his fight with Parker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 24, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 24, 2020 yeh, i was surprised at that myself. Joshua/Parker has the record according to this: https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2020/01/04/anthony-joshua-ruiz-2-ppv-confusion/ According to that 250,000 PPV's were purchased after the actual date of the event, numbers like that just blow my mind.
