West Coast captain Shannon Hurn is adamant the Eagles havent given up on their premiership hopes, but admits the player group havent been working hard enough.The Eagles top-four hopes hang by a thread following last weeks shock 19-point AFL loss to Collingwood.West Coast will start as hot favourites to beat Fremantle on Sunday.But their final three rounds loom as make-or-break time, with the Eagles taking on heavyweights GWS (away), Hawthorn (home) and Adelaide (away).West Coast produced some scintillating displays on the way to last years grand final.But they have been one of the most inconsistent teams of 2016, struggling to beat anyone currently sitting inside the top seven.Hurn says his team need to improve in a number of key areas if they are to become a force come finals time.But he scoffed at talk some players may have already given up the chase.I dont think blokes have given up at all, Hurn said on Monday.But I dont think weve been working hard enough to get the results.Working hard enough is always pushing the limits and pushing the boundaries. Someone who does that well is Matt Priddis.The thing you dont want to do is leave it up to others, or go, Its too hard, Im not going to try today, Ill come back the next day.You can always contribute - tackling, blocks, giving handballs to your teammate. I think thats what hard work is.Star ruckman Nic Naitanui (Achilles soreness) is on track to return against the Dockers after recovering from surgery on both of his feet.Naitanui has missed the past six games, and his inclusion will provide West Coasts midfield with some much-needed spark.Hurn said the return of Naitanui isnt the ultimate solution to the teams problems.Yes, he can give us some ruck taps. We understand the dominance we can get from that, Hurn said.But as a team, we havent played anywhere near good enough team footy.If we start playing some good football, I think were going to be ok, and were going to be able to do some damage.But certainly if we keep playing the way we play, its going to be a tough run home.Coach Adam Simpson may consider swinging the axe this week in a bid to get his team out of their funk.Experienced forward Mark LeCras tallied just nine disposals in a goalless effort against Collingwood, while Simon Tunbridge and late inclusion Malcolm Karpany are others who could face the chop.Midfielder Elliot Yeo is set to return from illness. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Bernie-Kosar-Jersey/ .

LAS VEGAS -- The best boxing match of the year is expected to take place tonight in Las Vegas, but theres a good chance you didnt know about it.Theres also a decent chance you dont know much about the two fighters who make up just the 11th meeting between two of the top five fighters in Ring Magazines pound-for-pound rankings, which started in 1989.In fact, when Andre Ward (30-0, 15 KOs) and Sergey Kovalev (30-0-1, 26 KOs) step into the ring at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with the unified light heavyweight championship on the line, it will mark just the third bout over the past 25 years between a pair of top-five pound-for-pound fighters who both enter the match with undefeated records.Its the kind of main event fight with two fighters in their prime that should seep into the consciousness of mainstream sports fans more focused on college football and the NFL this time of year, but that has not been the case.Saturday marks the first pay-per-view fight for both Ward and Kovalev. It will also be Wards first fight in Las Vegas and Kovalevs third match in the fight capital of the word. As good as both fighters are, the true mark of a fighter breaking into the mainstream is becoming a pay-per-view fighter and headlining marquee cards in Las Vegas. In that sense, Saturday will be Ward and Kovalevs introduction for many casual fans who fork over money for pay-per-view fights only once or twice a year and still feel burned by the Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao debacle over a year ago.But it takes time to build up the loyalty and following Mayweather and Pacquiao garnered from fight fans who dreamed of seeing both of them finally square off. It takes years of results, not weeks of promotion, to get fans to reach into their wallets and pay for a fight when theres an ample amount of other live sports on free television.Theres a storyline out there about what a shame it is that this fight isnt as big as Mayweather-Pacquiao, said Kathy Duva, CEO of Main Events. As I tend to do when I try and solve problems, I did some research to try and gain some perspective. Floyd Mayweather fought on HBO nine times just like Sergey, and of course the four-year period where he headlined his first HBO pay-per-view versus Arturo Gatti in June of 2005, Gatti was the big draw of that fight. Manny Pacquiao fought on HBO for two years before headlining his first HBO [pay-per-view] in January of 2005 with Eric Morales.Those events sold in hundreds of thousands of buys; it wasnt until Floyd and Manny got the opportunity to defeat the already well-established superstar Oscar De La Hoya that they reached that million-buy benchmark. They fought on parallel paths for 10 years on pay-per-view to get to the place where they arrived last year and that of course is where every fighter wants to be and that is where Kovalev and Ward want to go. And so they have to start somewhere.Ward and Kovalev have tto start somewhere as pay-per-view fighters, but the same is true with attracting a mainstream audience of pay-per-view buyers, and theres a good chance most casual fight fans will take a wait-and-see approach to both fighters before shelling out $69.dddddddddddd99 to purchase the HD telecast of Saturdays card. If it turns out to be a candidate for fight of the year, as many pundits predict, the rematch will garner more buys, and if that ones another classic with the loser of the previous match coming out on top, the rubber match in the trilogy would see both fighters not only receive a record payday but carve out their legacies.Not too many guys make it on pay-per-view; thats the goal, said Lennox Lewis, the last undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Its a situation where people have to pay and watch you. After this fight, you dont want to do any other fights unless its pay-per-view. This is a great mark for these guys and this is the first step for them and where they want to stay. Its always important to win but they have to leave a lasting impression and make them want to come back for more.Duvas expectations for Saturday are somewhat tempered, knowing this will be the pay-per-view debut of both Ward and Kovalev and that many casual fans will likely hear about the result and watch the replay on HBO the following week before deciding if they want to invest in them moving forward.Were not going to get anybody thats never gotten a pay-per-view before, thats not happening on Saturday, Duva said. But were trying to get noticed and get that mainstream attention and you have to start somewhere. If we hit 200-250,000 [pay-per-view buys] Ill be dancing.Michael Yormark, Roc Nations president and chief of branding and strategy, understood the challenges of promoting this fight to a new audience that may be hesitant to pay to watch two fighters its not that familiar with.Andre hasnt fought out of Oakland in a while and Sergey doesnt have a big fan base that follows him and neither of them has fought on pay-per-view so there are challenges, but you have to sell the magnitude of this fight and how its perhaps the best fight on paper weve seen in 19 years, Yormark said. Im confident this fight will do better than other first-time pay-per-view fighters. When Triple G [Gennady Golovkin] was on pay-per-view last year, it did 150,000. We think this could be the biggest fight this year on pay-per-view.Chances are Saturdays fight wont be seen by many casual fans, but that doesnt mean it wont be a major turning point in the careers of two of the top five pound-for-pound fighters in boxing. Big-time pay-per-view matches between big-time pay-per-view fighters have to start somewhere, and that somewhere is Saturday night in Las Vegas for Kovalev and Ward.
