1.5m on this fight? Maybe if they put it in Ireland they’ll recoup that.

Cheaper than 4m for Teo v Kambo. The only place I see them recouping that is Oz. NY has a Vargas hangover. Conlan is a big featherweight, but I don't see much else. I'm going with the underdog. War Wood!

Yeah I think Wood beats him, Conlan hasn’t impressed me as a pro, whereas Wood looked impressive vs Xu.

Look for Conan to decline and fight vacant wbo title

Once again with this belt nonsense.

Leigh Wood is WBA Champion? When from what I can see Santa Cruz is the WBA Champion at Featherweight.

How is this any different to Devin Haney's fake WBC Belt at Lightweight?

conlon is like a piece on a chess board, carefully being move around looking for an opening (weakest champ), will he be a queen (highly unlikely) or a pawn (fall flat on his face), we shall see, eventually im sure

Great for Woody, one good win and now he is going to make some house deposit money.
I like this matchup, and don't really care about the validity of the belt. It's going to be a dust up fan friendly fight as they all should be. New York, Belfast, they will sell it more because it is a fairly even fight between two guys who just simply 'bring it', than demographic location.

The fight should be in Belfast, that’s where the money wIll be

looking forward to it!
