    Got to be honest, I wasn't interested in this fight at all. I viewed it as a bit of a money fight \ gimmick fight. Still do really.
    But I have been drawn in somewhat by the build up. Eubank jr in particular has been on fire. Anyone else feel the same?

    I was hyped when their fathers fought but I have zero interest in these two fighting. Neither of them are elite like their fathers, this just seems like a money grab.

    Yes only because I am interested in seeing Conor Benn get beat up so Eubank Jnr better deliver.

    My only interest is that Jnr might knock the grubby little cheat that is Conor Benn, out cold. Won't be parting with money or anything more than a passing interest though.

    Not really, but most of us interested or not would be tuning in if we are honest.

    I have paid 0 attention to any of it. The whole egg incident went a bit viral, so I saw that without looking for it. And honestly, It made me less interested in the fight. It reinforced how much I dislike them both. They literally represent the worst aspects of this sport, in their own ways - it´s a heck of an achievement in my book.
    Hell, I haven´t even checked the undercard yet.

    No, in fact it's caused me to actively avoid any of it because it just feels too forced.

    My only interest in the fight will be to see what the atmosphere is like at the show. If Benn somehow wins though, no doubt I'll wish I'd watched it though.

    Eubank has already won the event.

    The verbal beatings he has dished out to Hearn and Eggman Benn have been legendary.

    If people lost interest instead of hoping for a beating or ko when someone gets found out as a drug cheat that would be way more effective as a punishment. Carreer over right then and there without sanctioning bodies needed.

    Chris Eubank bringing the cheating up to make Benn and his team more unlikable is actually using the issue to generate interest. So he is actually marketing Benn for being a drug cheat. And as someone brought up on this forum: as appalled as he pretends to be, calling Benns father's integrity into question because he might have known about the drugs and wether his father can be trusted not to have been on drugs - he had no problem working with Roy Jones Jr.

    I'll be honest, I won't even be watching this fight. I've never gone out of my way to watch or pay attention to either of their careers, they're both from what I can see B-C level guys. They're the same level as Shane Jr for instance, but at least we don't act like Shane Jr. is some kind of world level contender. He has established himself as a B-C level gatekeeper guy. These two are the same level.

    They ain't their fathers...............

    Not at all, never had respect for two silver spoon fed boxers who made a name for themselves thanks to their father, pretending to be bad boys...

    Yes, although I thought it was a stupid fight (still do because of the size difference) the build up have definitely made me more interested in what will happen when they fight, I just hope they keep the same energy fight night! If they do, it could be a fun fight as long as it lasts, I’ll be watching.

    Yes, I must now admit I'm really quite looking forward to it.


    The build up has certainly helped, in my 'now' going along nicely with the hype flow.
