So Matchbox is feeling pressure? Pressure busts pipes. Miller lost 6 mil, but Matchbox has much more on the line. They're sweating ball bearings.

DAZN have to fear the pressure of the boxing fans

I am one of the people who want Joshua to fight Ortiz as replacement. My concern is, 6 weeks is a good time to prepare Luis Ortiz for a important fight against the number 1 heavy weight in the world? I want to see the best Ortiz and that is my concern. I don't want Michael Hunter. My second choice is that I can live for this fight is Adam Kownacki. Manuel Charr, Hell!!! no! Fuck that PED-Cheater Jarell Miller for shitting the fight. I was looking forward for that fight.

Kownacki already mentioned that it’s not him, and he’s fighting in June.

Do you know what the monkey said when he peed in the cash register? This is running into money.

Thank you for the replies and the update both of you. I know is old news, but I read about Miller today and I am still catching up, busy week.

I like the fact matchroom have recognised fans have paid for flights and booked hotels , this I believe is genuine by them and I'm sure the event will go ahead , 2 factors here 1) the right opponent needs the ok from TV and the most important is a potential opponent should recognise the oppportunity without rediculously out pricing themselves when negotiating, so many of today's fighters through social media buy into their own publicity they pump and have an over inflated idea of their worth , this leads to many real opportunities missed ..

Think its gonna be Ortiz

Whenever matchroom short lists opponents it always ends up picking the weakest one.
