Was just having a discussion about which of November's big cards in the UK was better. What do you ****s think?
Eddie Hearn/Mactchroom's Card on November 22nd
Nathan Cleverly vs. Tony Bellew II (12 Rounds Cruiserweight)
James DeGale vs. Marco Antonio Periban (IBF Mandatory Position at stake)
George Groves vs. Denis Douglin (WBC Silver SuperMiddleweight Title)
Scott Quigg vs. Hidenori Otaki (WBA Regular SuperBantamweight Title)

Callum Smith vs. Nikola Sjekloca (Elminator for WBC SuperMiddleweight Title)

Frank Warren's Card on November 29th
Dereck Chisora vs. Tyson Fury (Final Eliminator for WBO Heavyweight Title + British & European Titles at stake)
Billy-Joe Saunders vs. Chris Eubank Jr. (British/Commonwealth/European Title + Final Eliminator for WBO Middleweight Title)

Macthroom's card is clearly stacked with more names but, apart from the main event, they're all fights where the "name" fighter should win quite comfortably. There's no way Cleverly and Bellew should ever headline a PPV so I won't be buying it.
Warren has a smaller stable and a weaker overall card but his two main fights are far more interesting and meaningful than the entire Matchroom card. Plus it's not PPV.
Better overall card on paper = Sky.
Better Value for money = BoxNation
