Comments Thread For: Frank Warren, Eddie Hearn Agreement Reached For 'Five vs. Five' Fight Card

[Eff Pandas]

People are gullible as fugh
You guys think that Slow Eddie and fish eyes are doing this for the British fans or to have the best fights out there ?
And then Hoping that these fights take place in the UK ?
Saudis are far from dumb , if they were they wouldn’t have the coin to do this chit
They are stealing your chit and you guys are gloating about it
I don’t give a chit as I am not American or British but I don’t think they’re is anything to gloat about
Reminds me of the football ( soccer for you Americans ) , how Man U or Arsenal for example have very little British players
Same chit in Italy or Spain , then you wanna ask yourself why these.teams are not going far in World Cups etc etc
Cause you ain’t producing home players anymore
By these two selling their souls and taking chit away from your country but you guy’s rejoicing
Meanwhile Slow Eddie and Fish Eyes are lining their fughin pockets at your expense
Smfh

There is always bs & PR going on. Idk that anyone was buying everything promoters were selling before or will now. So that is what it is.

Saudi becoming the mecca of boxing might be a problem at some point tho, altho to me going to the big fights has seemed unreasonable for a long time anyway with 2k good seats or $78 seats in the rafters. I'd rather watch from home than spend 2k, or more, a seat to see it live. So that being whats up it doesn't really matter if the fight is down the street or in Saudi to me honestly.

Eff , those prices are here on this side of the pond not in UK from what I heard
Vegas was always like that unless you got comps from a casino
I remember my buddy getting seats from casino for Tyson ( $1500 at the time ringside )
And it’s only gonna get worse

Sure, but its looking like Saudi will be trying to make the bigger fights on bigger shows. I mean show me an event in the last 10yrs that had more names, top ten guys, on it than that Dec event? Idr anything like that since Don King forever ago. And they are just getting started.

Would I rather fights be in the US or UK or the home region of whoever is fighting? Sure it adds to the vibe of the event. The issue is no one is making those fights on a regular basis anyway so its a hypothetical question more than a real question. If Saudi didn't get involved is Beterbiev vs Bivol happening? I'd guess it doesn't or not as soon as 5mos from now anyway.

Yes your absolutely right
I was all for it , even wanting the to start their own league so to say
Now, I’m thinking it might be wrong
I enjoy your posts and appreciate your boxing knowledge
So , my question to you is how do you feel if mma guy wins and he’s gonna be the next challenger for unified heavyweight title
Mma guy being 1-1 , losing to Fury and beating a damaged goods in AJ
Imo, they are flexing to much power
Fugh that

I'm a Francis fan so I'm rooting on Francis being a 2-1 undisputed HW champion truth be told lol so you might be asking the wrong guy. Dude represents the ultimate story of dedication & perseverance & if someone doesn't make a story of his life in the next few yrs, regardless of how this boxing thing goes, I'll be surprised.

Idk that it should matter THAT much to boxing fans tho. If Francis shows he can hang with the top HW's, which I believe the Fury fight showed, & shows he can beat a top 5 guy, which I believe he'll have done if he beats AJ, why not let him fight for the #1 spot? And if he loses to AJ the story ends &/or gets diminished for now or for good. If he beats the top HW's he deserves to be where he's at & if he doesn't then obviously this experiment is almost over

I said it from the moment the fight was being talked about , that mma guy has a great chance of winning this fight
I think he’ll win , that is where I lay my money
But it’s a big slap in the face to boxers who trained all their lives to achieve what he’s achieving in mere months without going through the sweat and blood
Sorry , i don’t count what he did in mma , which was a great feat in itself but nothing in boxing
,Imo , this will be a devastating blow to the sport

[The Conundrum]

Be interesting to see if they make a start on the Cordina/Cacace card. Royston Barney Smith Vs Hopey Price or Brandon Scott could be fun.

Cordina vs Cacace is on the Fury vs Usyk card mate.

Hopey Price is challenging Nathaniel Collins for the British & Commonwealth titles next. Could be one of the fights on the 5 vs 5 card.

In what way is Francis beating AJ &/or the Fury vs Usyk winner a devastating blow to boxing?

I think it brings a whole crossover audience to boxing & then when they do the Ngannou life story in a few yrs its a W for boxing too. Right now I think boxing is at its biggest peak since the 90's with all this money in the sport & all these novelty ppl bringing eyes into the sport that wouldn't otherwise be paying attention to boxing.

[jkrames]

Is it going to be UK only fighters or international ones too?

Yarde v Berlanga/Smith
Ammo v Heaney
BJS v Parker
Dubois v Hrgovic
Joyce v Whyte

What a card! Hope it's in the UK........

Entire point of the fight is to be Riyadh season. 0 chance it is in UK.

I hope your right
I have a funny feeling this is going to backfire
I hear many boxing fans getting turned off by this crossover chit
Hoping your right
