    Likewise, but it will be a crap fight anyway. Boring decision type of thing.

    Eubank should get Benn out of there. Neither is elite but one has at least been in with some quality fighters. The other has been juiced up and picking on retired Van Herden and Algeri.
    Eubanks isn't above picking on someone past their best, like De Gale, but at least the likes of Abraham, Williams, and Smith have done a bit towards the top of the sport. Hopefully, at 170 on fight night, Eubank has the strength he needs to land and put Benn away. Once Benn starts getting up there in weight above 150, I'd just see him being bloated and slow. He's not a big guy, not a big puncher without the gear.

    Chris Webb is Vice Chair of the APPG for Boxing.

    It is completely appropriate that he asks the Secretary of State to support a major event.

    I'm sure he and other group members would and will do the same on behalf of local boxing gyms, GB amateur boxing competition successes, etc.

    Heard the numbers for this today , even I was shocked at how eye watering the figures are.

    It seems CEJ haggling over wanting the lion's share has well and truly backfired since Turki came in and just asked how much each wanted, Eddie and Matchroom have played an absolute blinder here and got more than the 50/50 they were originally after.

    Hydration clause is a disgrace

    I'm not convinced it'll sell out the stadium to be honest.... I hope Eubank absolutely splatters him. I won't pay for it, but will probably listen on the wireless.

    Casuals be all over it like Khan v Brook.

    I’m in Lanzarote so will watch in a bar but not a chance I’d put money in Benn’s pocket.

    It's already in his pocket , PPV numbers affect his purse to a minimal extent.

    Hydration clause and the wrong end of the % split, not looking good for young CEJ.

    True, but if it the PPV bombs, then it reduces his value going forward I guess

    His value is always going to reduce from this one, I doubt even the rematch will be anywhere near as lucrative unless something REALLY controversial occurs ;)

    All logics suggests without the Eggs, he is basically English level but he seems like one of those ****s that somehow might pull something off. Whether that be Eubank at his age just being totally dead at the weight or something

    I'm not paying to watch a dick pound a twat. I can see that for free on pornhub.
