    Sky obviously have a set number of PPV events per year now.

    Eubank Jr won’t fight on a non Box Office channel.

    Mugging the public off and living off his father's achievements.

    Eubank Jnr has done nothing with his career.

    It's a good fight but seems like nowadays most "good fights" on paper are on PPV and the narrative is if we don't put it on PPV the fight won't happen. I won't be paying for it but I hope for the people who do, that's it's highly exciting. I got Eubank Jnr winning it on points.

    Ultimately Eubank Jr is a “name” and in the current climate that’s enough for a PPV fight nowadays.

    Regular Sky Sports cards seems to be barely above Channel 5 quality wise at the moment which should not be the case.

    He has done, but after some (probably) cheap fights on Sky, including the Williams win, I assume he's on a promised payday that only PPV might generate. Not paying for it myself though.

    He beat Quinlan to win the world title. How’s that doing nothing?

    The Irrelevant Boxing Odour Title?

    Eubank is a name associated with proper World Title Fights against top fighters.

    Feel he is either not very good or if he is, he has wasted his best years.

    Yes, much like the WBO, which wasn't even considered to be a world title back when Eubank was contesting it, ironically enough, and thus wasn't required to be undisputed.

    Groves has quite a hair these days, looks like David Beckham in there.
