    This fights a joke it makes no sense for either guy cause of there different weight classes and there’s no belts or rankings on the line. This fight is only being made for one reason and that’s money. The Eubank’s are trying to make it seem like the fights gonna be close by milking this weight draining thing but it’s a con. For those of you who don’t know Eubank doesn’t use a personal nutrition because he’s written down everything he’s ever eaten and recorded how it makes him feel. He is an expert at this and knows how to cut weight. This fight is gonna be a walk in the park for Eubank and there will probably be very few highlights. Having said all this I’m probably still gonna buy it because I’ve got nothing better this weekend but I’m not expecting anything exciting and I’m half determined to boycott this ppv.

    Some fights ARE about the money and nothing else!! 2 average fighters earning 3 times what they're worth is good business imo. Well done to both for agreeing to have a scrap

    It's good entertainment. And it will be intriguing to see if Spermbank Jr. can make the weight.

    Your right it's a cash grab but cutting weight isn't an exact science when your getting punched in the head. He might be an expert but doing it to weigh in and doing it to fight are different things. He wouldn't be the first older fighter to drain down and then find his powers or recovery etc have deserted him.

    Totally a cash grab. I was a big fan of both fighters fathers but I have zero interest in watching this.

    Really?

    I think it is one of the more interesting fights of the year - can't see it being a dull affair either.

    I wager we will see more fireworks on Saturday than we did for Canelo vs GGG III

    I hope this is the way it goes down, but the pessimist in me says it will be a sparring match.

    I'd be more interested if Snr had a Nige 4 rounder exhibition bout as co-main.

    This is professional boxing, money grab is the name of the game, look at the mega purses we see fighters getting for far from mega fights.

    Two fighters from a level below elite are using their fathers rivalry to earn a good purse, so fair play to them.

    It’s all about suckering

    the winner gains nothing and the loser wont lose anything. So what is fight about? Fake beef between two guy to try and make millions. I hope they sell a million PPV buy, I do. Like any other circus acts if fools are willing to pay for it then more power to Eubanks and Benns
