Why was Bjs defending his WBO title in a leisure center?

[SugarRayCurtain]

Thats embarrasing on Frank Warrens part
No world champion should ever fight in a leisure centre infront of 500 people

He is a belt holder

Golovkin is the world champion

It was a last minute thing.

It was meant to be at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff last week but they had problems with Akavov's paperwork. Billy didn't want to delay anymore due to inactivity so asked Warren to put him on the card in Glasgow a week later.

It's not like Saunders is a draw anyway.

People would watch him fight GGG, or they will watch him v Eubank because of the rivalry but apart from that, nobody is that interested in him. The arena for the fight with Andy Lee was less than half full.
