    You Tubers surely have to be up there with one of the most hated groups of people. I don't understand the hate that so many fully grown men seem to have for them. All of Eddie's tweets about this there are 1000s of comments of people laying into them. They make videos that no one has to watch and earn an absolutely obscene amount of money from it - fair play to them.

    Jake Paul is worth 22 million dollars, which is insane.

    I get why purists are mad at this, I do, but far worse things go on in boxing that should be addressed before we worry about things like this.

    To be fair that same Arum quote could apply to every fight he's promoted.

    I doubt new fans will be clamouring to follow him after watching him dance his way to a 120-108 against some no hoper. Which is 100% nailed on lets be honest

    Hearn has said that BJS contract states that his fights are on PPV.

    Even if he got 10 it would double his fanbase

    Would be staggered if it wasnt PPV in some form over here. Be annoying if it is a good undercard tbh

    The common thing missed with a lot of these Youtubers is a lot of them are already from money and privlege, privately educated. I think KSI is, he isn't your average lad from Newcastle, he has access to a higher class of education than 99% of the country

    The social media influencer on Love Island was from a well above average background.

    They should stick Michael Owen v Alan Shearer on the undercard. Owen fancies himself as a bit of a boxing guru on Twitter. Good scrap that, don’t be fooled by the size difference.

    A low blow to the hamstring on the refs blindside and Owen isn’t getting up

    Tricky one for Sky to justify this on PPV- they effectively are novices and Sky usually would steer clear.

    That said, it’ll break even even at 5am our time. Really strange event with Saunders as the chief support.

    The loose cannon that he is I can actually see Saunders ripping into both of them at a press conference. He won’t give a ****. Young Stevie will give one of them a boot in the nads for good measure.
