    When Jr fought BJS who had either of them beaten? Neither were world class!

    Abe is a legitimate world class operator witha ton of world title defences let alone fights. Abe is by far the biggest test of his career and is actually the fight to prove himself.

    So really if you pay for it by the start of the fight one is proven and by the end of it both might be or 1 might have been exposed.

    Win win really

    Tbh I don't care a **** who pays for it, I don't have to pay for it. However I do think it would be comparatively a good price considering some other PPV shockers.
    I have to say people moaning about having to pay for it when they paid for Brook vs Gavin are a disgrace tbf lol.

    Tell me how proven that mug Gavin is let alone Brook. Atleast in this fight 1 is truly legit.

    OK so never beaten a world class fighter and lost to a fighter who wasn't world class then. That only makes it worse.

    Abraham was a legit world class operator at middleweight. At 168, he has been comprehensively beaten every time he has stepped in with a top level operator (Ward, Froch, Ramirez, Dirrell). He fought an even fighter with Murray, who is not a proper super middle and was comprehensively beaten by Groves. Having a ton of title defences does not mean much when, with the arguable exception of Stieglitz, not one has been any better than a European level operator. He is also 37. That said, he is a step up from any of Eubank's previous opponents.

    Sorry, like I said I am afraid I set my standards a bit higher than that. For me a PPV headliner should involve an evenly matched bout between proven world class fighters and a good undercard.

    I don't see your point. That was also a joke of a PPV fight and I didn't pay for that either. But at least it had a decent undercard. However, Hearn putting one joke of a main event on PPV doesn't justify this. Two wrongs and all that.

    Bargain :shocked: ... I think it might be time to stop posting.

    Not sure even the Eubanks themselves are deluded enough to call it a bargain.

    Behave yourself, Brook Gavin had Linares Mitchell and Gradovich Selby on the undercard (as well as Joshua and a couple of decent british title fights). It was one of the best PPVs I've bought.

    I'd rather give a beggar the tenner than spend it on this ITV card, its awful.

    Brook vs Gavin was one of the most stacked cards this country has ever seen. Don't compare an event like that to one of Eubank's circus 'PPV's thanks.

    If it was free to air on a Saturday night it would be a toss up if I watched it anyway.

    AA is old, past it and in my opinion just padding his pension and the rest of the card is poor.

    BJS who many claim is levels above Jr was going to fight a bloke even older who had never had a decent win in his life and I never saw a bad word about the fight? FFS Khurtsidze has been ktfo by a total no hoper! Lost clearly to lightly regarded Ndam.

    It is clearly not just because its ppv, beating King Arthur makes Jr one of the top dogs in the division and you all hate that thought.

    He was his mandatory you moron, he had to fight him or be stripped. That's what champions have to do, fight their mandatories. Something Eubank would know nothing about.
