I wouldn't be surprised to see the main event fall through on this one. Does anybody know if Macklin is signed to a promoter or is he a free agent?
I think Macklin is a free agent, Macklin just seems a major fuck up to me, he got bashed up and sent home with his tail between his legs from the Wild Card, Hatton got him a Euro shot in his first fight under him. He then dumps Hatton and the Euro Belt to chase world dreams now he is back to fight for the belt he gave up to get a world title shot?? The guy is only what 28? He has had more promoters and Trainers than most have had hot dinners.

Still though if his head is right he can do a number on Barker.
