£12.95 for Eubank v a Bum and that big STIFF plumber Price you got to be joking
I think junior is very good and could win a legitimate title in the future.

Eubank bottling the big fights, disgrace that it's ppv tbh
I don't count any of the belts. Decent sport ruined by money.
Undercard is free . So they're expecting people to fork out just for eubank . Itv have got this all wrong. I don't think theyll reach four figures for viewers

It's been made crystal clear that Warren and the Hearns were demanding too much money and unfair contract stipulations, so the Eubanks have got a new, and fair platform in ITV.
Jr will fight any of the big names, but his Dad won't hand his sons life over to the sharks that are Eddie and Frank.
Yes the IBO isn't part of the 4-way groovy gang, but the belt and new platform will enable Jr to go for the other belts without signing his life away.

Sorry but this isn't true, everyone that's ever been involved in negotiations with the Eubanks are all saying the same thing, it's the Eubanks that are the difficult ones to work with. Eubank was trying to get Hearn to bid for the Blackwell fight as a pay for view which is a fight they couldn't sell out half of Wembley arena with. His son has fought one decent fighter and lost, he needs to prove himself before he starts calling the shots.
And now you have this joke of a fight against someone who has already lost one of his 11 fights and never fought out of Australia! The only people that will tune in and pay the 12 Quid thinking they are getting value for money are those that are clueless about boxing.

What's he learning fighting someone who's 11 and 1? He's had 24 fights he should be stepping up and challenging himself.

Stepping up, as in big name fighters?
See post #9
The Eubanks ARE difficult to negotiate with (Eddie and Frank), because Sr won't accept shit deals/terms for Jr.
Many would just say get on with it, accept the terms and get the big fights sooner, but Sr won't be bullied into a corner and has potentially found a fair and level platform.
Sr is steering his son along a new route which other boxers don't take. People love to hate anything that's different to the norm.
It might never work out with ITV, but I for one, want to be a part of it and I've got my fingers crossed for our local fighter.

Included on the regular sports package here in Sweden. Who would pay a tenner to watch!?
you don't count any of the belts. You're clearly not a boxing fan then.Half Time Pies

No as in not going backwards, fighting a novice and having the nerve to call it a pay per view. There were millions on the table for the Golovkin fight which is incredible for a unproven fighter and the deal fell through because senior wanted to double the ticket prices and dictate who commentates!
I get so frustrated with this as I do genuinely think he is a tremendous talent, I went to watch him win the WBA interim title at the O2 which would have given him a crack at the world title if he would have wanted it, instead he chose to vacate and the standard of opponent since then has been getting progressively worse culminating in this! All the time he has been calling out every name under the sun.
Adam Booth walked out on them and he claims to train himself, and as for the corner, well if the Billy Joe fight is anything to go by he will struggle to get meaningful advice when the chips are down. Its all turned in to a bit of a farce if you ask me and they need a reality check which is why I hope the pay per view numbers bomb for this fight or they will be serving up more of the same for us over the coming years.

Agree with all your thoughts but I can imagine a logic in waiting until GGG ages more before taking him on.
From what I heard, kind of one step removed, Booth wasn't perturbed by one thing in sparring, as they would have it, but rather by a combination of factors including Snr's interference and Jnr's non-existent nutrition plan.
I would like someone to ask CEJ if he would consider employing a trainer if he loses again. You can already imagine Booth guiding BJS or even Andy Lee to a well-executed victory, even if CEJ has the skillz.
