    brehmer has pulled out of the nathan cleverley fight with an 'eye injury'
    making cleverley WBO champion.

    sky are still charging 15 quid for the degale v groves fight on sky box office.
    i think they should make it half price due to the fact that a world title fight on the bill is no longer.

    Well played sky for hyping the right fight. I expect they will push Gavin and Muttley now as well. That is an interesting fight too. £15 is a bit of joke though.

    I wonder if sky will change their plans now?

    Who are folk cheering for in west london?

    I disagree.

    Anyone who gives money to that right-wing, bigoted **** Murdoch deserves all they get.

    Nah, overpriced and over-hyped bollocks.

    I listened to Steve Bunce's show the other week. They went to Dale Youth where they asked a kid who his heroes were.

    "George Groves"
    "Anybody else?"
    "James De gale"

    This really was the main ticket seller for sky anyway. i don't think it needed that much hyping to be honest

    it's still a ppv?

    <laugh> ****ing sky got no shame

    it was a **** ppv to start with. a non world title domestic tear up + nathan cleverly does not amount to a ppv costing 15 quid. especially after cleverlys last performance. cheeky ****s.

    ill p2p it

    World title fight
    British and commonwealth title fight
    MASSIVE prospect in his first proper test.

    I think it would sell ok.

    maybe not now.

    Billie Joe wouldn't have made the TV if the main event was still on. it is a pretty routine fight for him....or it should be.

    Tony Bellew stepped in to fight Clev at late notice. I don't know what kind of condition he'd be in. He must be fairly good to go. i am not sure when the rematch with Mckenzie was scheduled for.

    Bellew is some man for one man. He just wants to get at Clev at any cost. Fair play for rescuing the card.
