    Eubank Jr's only a "draw" because of who his dad is, nobody would look at him twice otherwise

    Name a more exciting fighter in the UK, or even the world for that matter?

    CEJ is more showman than boxer, he just wants to excite the fans, and he delivers every time. He is never in a dull fight, even against fighters like BJS, who most would rather watch paint dry then see him fight.

    If boxing excellence made fighters a draw, than Rigondeaux would be one of the worlds highest paid athletes, but he's not he's just plain boring.

    CEJ has the total package to be a superstar, not many can claim that.
    (Not even GGG tbh)

    You are clearly a troll CEJ hater who writes such ridiculous nonsense to turn even more people against him. Don't bother...he's a conceited **** that is criminally managed by an attention-seeking simpleton.

    Saunders doesn't have a lot to gain by fighting Eubank Jr. again, so 80-20 makes sense for him.

    If Saunders was to beat him again, people would be saying "so what?". It doesn't increase his professional standing much at all, and who knows if the fight would even draw much, so he needs strong financial incentive.

    Wtf is eubank seen as a big payday. He's been beaten and brings nothing to the table. I really don't get why people think he's a big deal.

    Most people are exciting fighters when they are still feeding a domestic level guys, wasn't too exciting when he got schooled by bjs.

    As someone who doesn't really have a dog in this particular fight 55-45 or 60-40 would be about fair. On one hand BJS has the (very close) win in the first fight and the world title plus would be making a voluntary defence. On the other, CEJ is the money man, albeit mainly because he has better promotional backing.

    IMO it is not fair to say that he is only popular due to his dad's name (if you want an example of that, see the file marked Conor Benn) nobody really paid him any attention until the Saunders bout, when despite his inexperience he proved he could fight and he's usually in exciting bouts.

    Ultimately, it depends what is more important to the fighters, money or reputation. Given that Eubank senior has already ruined the proposed Golovkin fight and they don't seem in any rush to take a shot at Jacobs, I would suggest if anything maybe CEJ needs to give a little as Saunders is the only other route to a world title.

    :lol: Eubanks talk too much, he could have been a mando for multiple belts by now.

    Truth is, if you're a contender you will never get 50-50 or more.

    I'd say 60-40 would be the best that the Eubanks would get given that Hearn doesn't want him, Frank hates his old man and Mick (the only promoter who he hasn't annoyed in the UK) still hasn't got TV.

    If I was the Eubanks I'd fight in the US- more money and an easier environment for them to work in.

    That said, Eubank Sr could start an argument in an empty room it seems.
