He was being paid by Paddy Power to be there.blackpool72 said:Bellew has seen the sort of money people are being paid to fight Paul and he wants a bit himself.
No other reason for him being there.
I don't blame him as the money is ridiculous.0 -

Is what Tyson and Paul did classed as boxing then?0

Mad really that you could bet on a clearly pre-arranged outcome.
Transfer that to any other sport and there'd be uproar and enquiries.0 -
Proper fight this. I like Chris Billam-Smith, Ramirez is decent. Will be a huge win if CBS can get the winAFKABartram said:Billam Smith fighting out in Saudi tonight, 10pm ring walk apparently
Unreal that a load of people who i assumed were normal on my social media timelines stayed up or got themselves up to watch that circus show this morning. When this is a legit, up to scratch british champion taking on another champion and hardly anyone is aware of it2 -
Fear for CBS here, he’s landed some solid and the Mexican hasn’t even flinched. Can’t see CBS legs lasting in a toe to toe0

Ramirez look ominous0

Ramirez currently 1/120

Gutsy effort from CBS, but no way he's won.0

Don't know how CBS made it to the end there. He was breathing heavily from round two.0

What a cracking fight. CBS is so game it is unreal. Unfortunately he’s an accurate punchers dream as he’ll keep walking forward Joe Joyce style with little variation or head movement. Great fight though2

What I love about CBS is he embraces the nastier style of boxing and loves fighting inside, Ramirez wasn't letting him get away with any of that and kept him moving which doesn't suit Billam-Smith. No shame in losing to the better fighter like last night he left it all in the ring2 -
One of the nicest blokes in boxing and a true warrior. Cracking fight1

Tbf to them I think most people over 30ish hate JP and everything he represents and wanted to see him knocked out, as opposed to pretending to be fans of the sport.Carter said:

It’s a dilemma.For all of those retired fighters calling it a disgrace (Froch, Bellew etc)…..you can tell by their posturing that they would get in the ring with him given the chance.They would gallantly say that they would be doing it for the good of boxing and would easily beat him….but deep down they would be enticed by the numbers.Unfortunately, $$$ is what JP brings to the table. All the time he can generate those numbers while taking minimal risk, this period of nonsense will continue.Someone needs to seriously beat him up to stop this but his choice of opponents (and potential scripting) will mean that it’s a long way off.2

I think boxing itself is to blame for all of this. Boxers used to be household names but the sport took the decision to go down the sky and PPV route this has meant that with the exception of very few boxers mostly are completely unknown personalities to anyone but die hard fans of the sport. This has opened up a void in public interest and people like this guy who are obviously more switched on in marketing terms than the people who run boxing as a sport have stepped into the voidSuedeAdidas said:It’s a dilemma.For all of those retired fighters calling it a disgrace (Froch, Bellew etc)…..you can tell by their posturing that they would get in the ring with him given the chance.They would gallantly say that they would be doing it for the good of boxing and would easily beat him….but deep down they would be enticed by the numbers.Unfortunately, $$$ is what JP brings to the table.

It is what it is, it’s white collar boxing and a grander scale. Popular lads can do a bit of training for a couple of months and sell a couple of hundred tickets to their network of mates and colleagues. People like the Paul’s are just doing exactly the same and utilising their bigger networks. Same as the Sideman with the football stuff.It ain’t top level, I think it’s shit, but there’s clearly a market for it that makes everyone 💰💰💰.3

Is that the same Froch that always reminds us that he boxed in front of 100,000 at Wembley?Croydon said:

What I will say about Carl Froch is even at 47 years old he isn't the kind to go easy on anyone and is still very fit. He is as much trying to grow his podcast as he is showing a genuine discontent for youtuber boxing.
I never thought Noel Gallagher would share a stage with his brother again, money does talk especially when you get divorced semi-frequently.
I don’t think any youtuber would go near Carl Froch or Tony Bellew. They however would take the money and probably do a hell of a lot of damage to the youtuber. I was listening to Enzo Maccarenelli talk about how boxing is all hard work, small wins, a lonely existence for little return. He has no business being in a ring anymore as a fighter but put him in with one of these idiots and he he breaking every rib bone they possess in the first 25 seconds3 -
At least Froch can then talk about the time he fought in front of 80 million people on Netflix.2

Froch was an absolute warrior.4

He certainly was.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:Froch was an absolute warrior.
But there’s something about him now that makes him come across as a bit of a bully.
Not sure he would be someone I'd like to have a beer with.3 -
