    Just seen CEJ telling BJS to get real in his demands for an 80/20 split.

    I wanted your thoughts?

    IMO, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. He has a win over Eubank and is World Champ, but CEJ is his biggest payday too.

    I think 60/40, 55/45 would be a fair split and if BJS doesn't want that then he clearly isn't keen on fighting. Same for Eubank of he doesn't accept the slightly smaller share.

    50-50 is about right imo. Outside of GGG and Canelo, if he steps up? they need each other to make good money.

    Point taken, but fact is Saunders got the W against Eubank and has since beaten Andy Lee. Retreating back to domestic level while talking a great game on Twitter like Eubank has doesn't cut it.

    Eubank reminds me of Chavez Junior, in that they both think daddy's name entitles them to superstar, Pay-Per-View money, whether they have world class wins or not. And let's be honest, the Eubank name is strictly revered in Britain. Chris never beat a top rated American.

    Billy Joe is in the right here, especially when you consider that Jacobs, Saunders and Golovkin were all options that weren't taken by Eubank.

    I think 65-35 or at a push 70-30 in Saunders favour is fair considering Saunders is the world champion and Jr would be a voluntary defence.

    Jr wants to get his hands on a belt and Saunders would be giving him a chance, so Jr has to look at the bigger picture if he truly believes he wins then taking the short end as the challenger for this fight isn't such a big deal.

    I'm surprised CEJ and his dad don't want 100-0 split.

    Don't give the Mutant Ninja Turtle ideas. I can see it now, ''We're willing to give Mr. Saunders a huge cut of the burger sales at the o2, if Mr. Saunders declines, you'll know he's running from my formidable son.''

    Eubank is British level right now. He has lost to Saunders already and Saunders is a world champion. 80 20 is fine.

    70/30 is spot on thing is Eubanks think BJS is desperate for a high profile fight so demand equal split. ****** know Eubank GGG fell through so offer peanuts. Where do we go from here 75% 25% further increases for winner


    will it happen nope Eubank will either switch to GGG after Brook fight or go US. Part of me thinks BJS Eubank using each other to keep there profile cropping up on sky sports news etc etc.

    The first fight simply was not attractive. Nobody cares for a rematch. It's a bit like frampton-quigg.

    50-50 isn't fair.


    BJS holds a victory over CEJ, plus he has beaten a legitimate world level fighter in Andy Lee.

    CEJ is content with fighting the journey men of British and Irish boxing like Sullivan and such.

    CEJ was lucky Golovkin was even contemplating giving him a chance.

    BJS being a coward, 80-20 will never happen, he might get 80-20 vs Max Bursak, but not CEJ.

    Having a title and a 50/50 win doesn't make you the money man, pure coward

    He's lucky CEJ didn't offer him 20% tbh, CEJ is 100x the draw

    That's why CEJ is fighting Langford and Saunders could be fighting Canelo.

    A draw because of a surname for people who don't know boxing, not his boxing ability.

    He will be fighting Bursak next like he always intended to do

    Canelo might give him a 5-95 split if he's lucky, after all he offered GGG 10-90
