    Good fight for Blackwell, great exposure.

    I have no idea why Eubank Jr went to the trouble and effort to get himself in mandatory position for Jacobs and then go backwards towards a title he should have been going for 12-18 months ago.

    It has either been awful career advice or Team Eubank watched Jacobs destroy Quillin and decided the time wasn't right.

    Mick really likes that shopping centre doesn't he?

    Must be a really good "sayers" bakery in there.

    Thats only about 6 training weeks away. I hope Blackwell has been keeping himself fit. This is a great chance for Nick to explode onto the World scene if he wins!

    What channel will this be on?
    I saw Barry Hearns wasn't too happy with team Eubank

    What a random location to hold this fight in. I would assume it's on channel 5

    Channel 5. Blue Water holds 2700 or so, maybe more. Great fight this for terrestrial TV- I hope Mick promotes it correctly.

    Can't actually be real can it? He paid a lot of the purse bid. Surely they can sell more than 2.7k tickets

    The Bluewater can be configured for up to 5000 apparently- as I've said in the other thread I think that Mick gets help from the venue to host it there plus the rights fee from Channel 5 will be higher than normal.

    Eubank should have stuck with matchroom.

    Tough, tough fight he doesnt need
