Good fight for Blackwell, great exposure. I have no idea why Eubank Jr went to the trouble and effort to get himself in mandatory position for Jacobs and then go backwards towards a title he should have been going for 12-18 months ago. It has either been awful career advice or Team Eubank watched Jacobs destroy Quillin and decided the time wasn't right.
Thats only about 6 training weeks away. I hope Blackwell has been keeping himself fit. This is a great chance for Nick to explode onto the World scene if he wins!
Channel 5. Blue Water holds 2700 or so, maybe more. Great fight this for terrestrial TV- I hope Mick promotes it correctly.
Can't actually be real can it? He paid a lot of the purse bid. Surely they can sell more than 2.7k tickets
The Bluewater can be configured for up to 5000 apparently- as I've said in the other thread I think that Mick gets help from the venue to host it there plus the rights fee from Channel 5 will be higher than normal.
