      I recall a presser and Chisora was saying I'm not being paid tv money for this I don't need to sell the fight and Eddie was stood just off of his shoulder maybe looking the other way but it was as though he was saying it in ear shot, I suspect Chisora is being paid more now he's throwing water and tables.

      What's your thoughts on the main event, I'm ok with it as long as its Klitschko or Pulev as a mandatory next, it is what it is. Chisora and Whyte are clearly selling this ppv though.

      A little off topic but what are your thoughts on Bellew Haye ? Are you looking forward to this one ?
      I believe Joshua is the only one making PPV money on his shows. Everyone else get fixed fees. So I don't think that's necessarily done for publicity at all. These two guys are from the wrong side of london and the feud has been proper ugly for years.

      Well as far as we've heard, the Klitschko fight is signed and delivered and will most likely be announced in the post press conference for April 29th at Wembley most likely. That's a good fight. Old champion vs new champion. Makes a lot of sense. Suspect Pulev will face Joshua if Joshua wins, if Klitschko wins I think he'll retire the champion as he should imo.

      As far as Joshua vs Molina.. I think it's a 5 round job max for Joshua. If he goes in for the kill in order to send a message to Wilder and Klitschko, it might be 2-3 rounds. All in all, don't expect Molina to touch him. People forget how nervous Wilder was in his first Alabama fight as champion etc. He was super nervous and isn't as clinical as Joshua is anyway.

      I think Bellew Haye is a total mismatch - If Haye is his own self. He's bigger, punches harder, and better in every single aspect than Bellew.

      However, I understand why the fight is happening, but I can't see it going past 3-4 rounds with Haye a KO winner.

      Both will make millions though

        It flashed up on my facebook page that Chisora has been fined 25 grand, and that the British title was no longer on the line.

        Clicked on the link to the sky sports website though and the story had disappeared.

          The British title will not be on the line + Chisora is getting a 2 years suspended sentence.

            I've never heard of anything of them having any previous beef. As I said before it's all contrived.

            Chisora said Joshua earnt 3m and Whyte got a 250k, I was unaware of any of the figures until I watched those two throwing shyt at each other with Nelson sat with them. This PPV looks like it's going to be remarkably lower grossing than the others and Chisora is now being paid tv money to sell the event, he said it himself he doesn't need to sell it, that now appears to have changed. Why go to the lengths of taking fines if you're not attempting to sell the event, it's almost like an admission when he slapped Vitali and set up the Haye fight he was grossing a percentage.

            These British Hearn cards are like pantomime.

              ah mate, the beef has been going on for years. Years! publicly and behind the scenes. These two guys are proper street guys, there's nothing contrived let me tell you. It's for real.

              Chisora isn't getting any PPV money, but the show is very dependent on this fight. I'm definitely also not expecting this card to do as well as the others, but it'll still do a fair 300k maybe even more now.

                Chisora said he went to congratulate him for his performance vs AJ, I don't buy it man.

                I'm not saying Chisora is earning a percentage or a significant sum, I do however believe Hearn is paying these guys extra to sell the event.

                Like you said 'maybe even more now' these guys are carrying this event, the pre sales must have been poor and Hearn is paying these guys extra to drum up interest, the talk of the fight being off today will peak interest online and the papers tomorrow for the ones who ain't even aware who these guys are. It'll definitely do better now.

                Are you watching the fights ? I had no interest in this card whatsoever but I'll admit I'm slightly curious now, I do believe Whyte vs Chisora will inevitably suck though, the whole card should be called 'Anti Climax'.

                    Yea, they've been beefing for years but, tables only get thrown when the cameras are on. It's obviously contrived, even if there is a vein of underlying tension. I don't even mind that stuff, I'm just blown away that people here think it's organic.

                    Anyway, I actually posted to say at the avi.
