The Eubank Snr myth

Snr won't change nothing, just ostracize himself in the business, which has been evident really. I respect his accomplishments, but he's made some terrible decisions with Jnr

 

I didn't think Snr drank

 

Black Cloud's mate.

Sr did nothing but drink with his billionaire friends in Dubai following his marriage break, champagne benders for years on the freeload.

 

Strip clubs in Vegas etc til he met his second wife, who conned him into going into I'm a Celeb so she could negotiate the £400,000 fee (highest ever for reality TV contestant) and take her 35% broker fee, then divorce him and take half the rest (and half the apartment he'd just bought outright overlooking the Thames)!

Poor ****er.

 

Yeah that's bad. His first wife seemed very good for him, but bringing home homeless guys etc no matter how good his intentions, is just to much to cope with. I'd say he'd struggle finding a woman that could cope with him unless it's a fleece him situation

 

He's almost too nice for his own good, somewhat gullable and even vulnerable, believe it or not, I'd say

 

Eubank's viewing figures trounced Benn's as well. Chris averaged 13-14mill every couple of months and Benn averaged 8mill. Boxing in general on ITV then averaged 6mill.

 

I`m impressed by your knowledge of Eubank, I`ve just finished Keven Kegans autobio and really came to like the man through his stories at different football clubs, did you read a biography on Eubank or something?

 

The irony of Snr being taken to the cleaners by wives having spent his earlier years on the rob isn't lost on me.

 

Yeah, a 14 year old kid with nowhere to live and no money, taking some clothes from billion dollar companies like Burberry, unnoticed, who pay Asians and Africans a pittance to stitch and make the clothing in Asia and Africa. He should've just curled up and died, instead.

 

No just all the newspaper articles years ago. And I know some of his acquaintances

 

Eubank played the heel to tee. You either loved him or hated him and there was no middle ground. The iconic cry's of Euuuuubank heard from the crowd were both in support and in jest and people either wanted him to see him succeed or fail spectacularly. That's why he drew the numbers that he did.

 

I spoke with him when he trained in Sheffield in 1989. He wasn't speaking like that then.

 

The Watson rematch was a huge event, but beating Benn put Eubank on the map, plus their rematch brought Eubank the highest viewing figures of his career.

 

He took on a fighter that was better than Sr and Jr.
