    Would it be fair to say that Eddie has made more money with AJ though?

    Eubank went to Sky when only a very small portion of the country had Sky and helped sell satellite dishes and expand it. He put the groundwork in for Eddie and AJ to make the money they make today. Eubanks the one who opened the floodgates.

    Exactly my point, he's a scrounger. What kind of man takes 45% of his own son and I bet it's more than that.

    Are you denying Eubank stopped the country every two months for a few years? In viewing figures he matched the FA Cup final and Grand National each time he fought. That’s why Sky paid him a fortune to help get them off the ground.

    That is a good point but AJ is also extremely marketable despite being beaten twice, without AJ Eddie wouldn`t be the biggest promoter in boxing.

    Nothing like the money AJ pockets today. But yes far beyond what non-heavyweight British fighters had earned back then.

    At least neither Leonard nor Duran were in their 50's for that one.
