    Is it frank w for saying fight was on or is Eubank jr runnin scared bjs says contract was offered a month ago and tbh if a was in Eubanks position jump at the chance to fight for British title and an eliminator y not even if he were to lose still time to come back and even bigger rematches in future seems win win for Eubank IMO and bout 60-40 %ppl on this think he will win frank w should never have announced a fight tht wasn't signed tho Jesus doesn't help himself or his reputation

    ****** to blame followed by Eubank Snr why would Eubank junior need lawyers to look at the contract just get his Dad to read it.

    1. Frank shouldn't announce fights before both fighters have signed contracts.

    2. Eubank Jr shouldn't mouth off about certain fighers, then when push comes to shove.. fanny about with the contract.

    100% wazza

    Selling tickets for a fight that's not even signed and sealed is a massive no no imagine Hearn doing that?? Imagine Hearn starting to sell tickets for brook vs khan at wembley in morning? With no legal paperwork done first
    its total amateur.

    Imagine port vale announcing as friendly with real Madrid then selling thousands of tickets for real Madrid to say its not been agreed. The media would crucify them. So if it cant happen in the football world why does it happen in the boxing world

    Yeah it's very poor on his behalf surely fans could get a refund as it isn't the scheduled fight

    Didn't he do something like this with wilder and chisora, announced the fight whilst they were still negotiating it?

    Wazza's at fault all day long, don't say anything about fights until they are signed up

    Can't blame Eubank for wanting a decent payday and water tight contract

    I do see where your coming from, but apparently Eubank Jr is being paid very very well.

    Apparently bullspit.

    With Snr obviously keeping a tight reign on everything from TV contracts to interviews etc etc I'm not surprised the contract is being disputed/negotiated.

    This could all go a bit wrong IMO. Fine, a fighter should get value, no argument here. I just feel all this 'business' side of it is Snr's doing since he obviously had problems with money.

    The lad needs to box and not be made a ¢unt of with contracts, that's all. He's enough talent to make a v healthy living, this could be an unwanted distraction from the fight of his life thus far.

    Would you trust a Black man wearing jodhpurs who sold you to some women in America for a couple years?

    Wouldn't be surprised if a deal was agreed in principle and wazza whacked in a load of other stipulations

    Also winning the euro but not winning the lonsdale is still better than British.

    So you gotta take the same logic if David Haye got silver at the nationals from a universal point of view.


    Winning a world title but never winning the lonsdale is the same as winning both.

    In the iFL interview he basically admits that if Eubank were to win he'd have to box on Boxnation for a few more fights. Clearly Eubank Jr./Sr. don't fancy that stipulation.
