Carl Froch in the studio almost outright saying his previous fights were fixed and he’s not convinced this one isn’t as well 🤣

Fair play Carl that’s a bold move when you’ve literally been employed as a pundit for this fight.

He don't care about money, probably only took the pundit job for a free ticket upfront.

Was watching something earlier where he said he would turn 50 million down to fight Jake Paul, as he don't need it he's got plenty of that stuff.

Probably been mentioned before on this thread but (as a casual boxing viewer of 1980's and 90's) I find this sort of bout an insult to the sport. Not just those two but compared to the artists back in the day like Leonard, Holmes, Frasier, Collins, Hagler and Tyson in the early years, many boxers are poor imitations and yes its all about money what with so many draws and rematches that I would never pay to watch a fight now.

The thing I don't get as a casual boxing fan is whether or not the sport actually needs or wants it, not sure if viewing figures are down and this is bringing in new fans or what

I believe this Paul, Fury fight has been called into a winner takes all. I don't believe the loser gets paid for the fight. Also whoever wins, gets to be ranked in the top 40, which I feel is a bit raving for the true boxers out there who put the shift in.

So glad Davis and Garcia has been confirmed. I just have a sneaky feeling for Garcia. That left - hook is a thing of beauty. 

Can’t see it, kid is as stiff as a poker, can’t move his head or feet. Campbell put him over. Tank will flatten him i think. Still don’t believe it happens until they in the ring, confirmed or otherwise.
