We are meant to believe that padding your record against 9-1 bums in your 25th fight is all about the love man, all about the sport. None of the fans want to see that. They would have far rather you faced Langford or a live body. And you would have made more money from it. Even if ITV is stupid and paying you a flat fee, it's not good for you or the sport to have garbage on PPV.
That's the thing with Eubank. It's always the fight after this one...It never happens. He actually had a bit of momentum after the Spike fight and instead took the roundabout way and that went tits up. He's ready for world level but needs to actually test himself. Hopefully once the PPV tanks (which it will) it may change ITVs opinion. Fight someone live and people will tune in
Any word how much they will be charging for this garbage? I won't be buying whatever the price is just interested. If it is only a couple of quid, then that says it all really anyway imo
For what I've seen from them up till now their biggest fight option went up in smoke due to stupid demands fed by greed from father and son, and Jr lost the biggest fight he was in. Close but still. Now it looks like greed makes a total mismatch against a nobody coming of one of the biggest upsets in the year (due to his name opponent being shot to sh_t) turn up on PPV! And they need credit for that?! How exactly?! Maybe credit for being able to pull this stunt as you'd give a con artist credit for taking millions of a stupid rich guy's hands.
Why would Al Haymon need to be involved to put on big fights involving British fighters? Eubank v BJS/Groves/Degale = nothing to do with AH. He also would be needed or would be able to get involved with Eubank V GGG. Al Haymon is struggling to keep his PBC thing going in the states- he will never do anything over here there is no market for him
I for one won't be buying the PPV and it will be soul destroying seeing the b*llocks that will be spouted on the ITV adverts in the build up trying to generate interest in the fight. For me, the only way I can get my ahead around it is that ITV are testing there PPV platform with this "event" and going forward, better fights will be delivered. If that isn't the case, then I have absolutely no idea as to what there thinking because it simply won't work.
I would far prefer to fund the wealth of the Eubanks a fighting family than two glorified car salesman in Hearnz and cod head. Those two would sell their grannies for a pound. Obviously I won't be paying for this joke of a fight but if they ever get a decent opponent I would gladly step outside this ridiculous monopoly these sleezy fcukers are selling us. I also despise it when the promoters talk about fighters in a negative vein. Fuk up and promote. Dont talk down on someone that does something you could never do. I love the fact that snr has rustled their jimmies. Who the fuxk do they think they are a
Will be buying just to support a platform that brings competition to the PPV market, would be great to see Eubank Snr lead the way for other fighters to control their own destiny and cut out the middle men promoters. I'm sure Jnr's billionaire friends out in Dubai won't have a problem fronting the purse for a big name down the line should he keep winning.
