At this point in time I'd have to agree with you. If Buatsi and Yarde have two more fights at least against solid competition and win convincingly, maybe it could be box office if it had a stacked card and not a stacked card by Hearn's definition, a legitimate stacked card with world title fights or high level domestic matchups.
It’s a really good fight, I’d love to see it. But it’s a PPV undercard fight or ideally a fight night headliner.
Yarde should’ve left that dung head of a trainer and went with Buddy Mcgirt who basically threw him a invite after the Kovalev fight but he was too deep down to see that Mcgirt saw something worth in the man to possibly train him to become better!
Shame cuz he has a lot of ability but his technique and defense needs work if he wants to continue using that shoulder roll!
I think he'd do better with Tysons peekaboo style. He did something similar in round eight, he's best round. It's like he's part of a cult with Tunde.
I remember then trying to sell us Cleverly Bellew 2 a few years ago. I bet whoever bought that feels abit silly now lol..
Since bellew2 pretty much every matchroom ppv has been pretty high quality though to be fair and with possible exception of Joshua Klitschko everyone has had at least one other high level fight, often several good match ups. That’s not the same with most other promoters

I have to confess that there’s been occasions on a Saturday evening after a few beers, that I’ve ended up buying a box office fight last minute that I never intended to. But god no, bellew v cleverly 2 was not one of them.

Matchroom are alright, but the standard of fight that makes PPV has gone down all around. I didnt pay for Whyte Povetkin or Chisore Price, really didn't think they were worth the money. Don't really have the disposable income. I paid to watch AJs defences, but i woundnt pay for let's say a Yarde Buatsi fight, though I think its a decent fight.
