Eubank wins this on workrate
DeGale was prone to mid fight lazy spells even at his best and has been in some gruellers in recent times.
Sometimes seems he doesn't want to be there. Or he's somewhere else. Maybe his talk of retirement should have already been acted upon... Ewbanks by decision...wide.
This fight is going to be widely streamed & deservedly so, should never be PPV. Would have done very decent numbers non-PPV too, I'd say.
Degale was seriously underwhelming in his fights against Truax and despite being a much better boxer than Eubank Jr he may well get worked over in this one if he performs at that level. Some tough fights look like they have caught up with him but I'd still like him to take this one (slightly lesser of two irritants!)

Just watched the presser. DeGale was really itchy in there. Eubank just talking calm.
Well blow me down!
Normally Eubank is such a ranter and raver!!!
He was so calm. DeGale looked like he sniffed a bit before the presser. Rubbing his eyes and everything.
It seems in every interview with a boxer on YouTube I read they are on coke if they so much as rub their nose and blink he seemed like the same old degale to me, he was always quick to bite.
Yeh, and most hardcore boxing fans will just find a stream.
Thank fck for the casuals lol
Be well better if they were fighting for 5k each in front of 300 'hardcore'
Not 5k but nigel benn fought mcClellan for 750,000 on freeciew itv1 in 1995 so why cant these two? They arnt no bigger than nigel fckin benn combined so why should we have to pay?

That works out at over £1.4m today when inflation adjusted so they probably are.
You don’t have to pay, it’s a choice. If you want to see this contest more than you want £15 then buy it, if you don’t, don’t.

Benn was the defending WBC champ,these 2 are nothing so it could have been shown free,ive not paid for a fight since Canelo v Mayweather,never miss any though.

Not really relevant, anything COULD be shown free if someone can be found to foot the bill. I agree that this contest is not two big stars and for me personally it doesn't appeal enough to buy it, so I won't but I have no problem with those that do.
The 'I am pleased with myself for streaming PPVs / you are an idiot for stealing something you don't even value at £15' has been done to death so I won't get into all that again.

Nobody. I don't care what you watch or don't watch or how you do it, I doubt anybody here does.

13 million tuned in to that aswell.
DeGale-Eubank on free tv doesn’t pull that number i’m afraid. But we’ll never know. Boxers greed wanting to be paid more, forcing the fight to be a PPV.

If i find a decent stream ill watch it if not i wont its that simple really and i dont care who i upset for not forking out 15 quid. The only people that benefit from a ppv are the broadcasters and the promotor,the fighter wont benefit,he will be on an agreed fee

I hope this fight and its PPV numbers fails miserably. Jank it is. Wonder what fake row they'll come up with to follow along at each presser
Two deluded lemons if they think this is a PPV bout, who wants to shell out their shekels to see a has been and a never will be fight?!
F*ck offffff
Seems to be the norm these days, if this is ppv worthy then anything above Euro level or involving 'former world champs' will be. I haven't bought a ppv in years so I don't really care, I'm in the habit of enjoying my Saturday night with the wife as usual then watching the fights for free on youtube on a Sunday morning with a bacon butty and a cuppa. I enjoy them much more without being half pissed actually! I did listen to the Wilder/Fury fight on radio 5 however as that was a big occasion, I remember my old man telling me how he used to listen to big fights on the radio all the time back in the 50s and 60s and thought it seemed daft but it isn't all that bad actually, depends on the commentators too I suppose.

Yeah, madness isn't it mate. Yeah I watch a lot of fights the same way mate I do buy the big ones I'm interested in, but i won't be shovel fed a load of bullish*t I don't want to pay for
I've listened to a few bouts on the radio as well mate, ain't bad at all

You've seen their contracts?
Fighters are definately getting a cut. Promoters will take a cut from that though. DeGale said he’s been paid good money. Uncle Al is know for paying his guys good money. They probably getting guaranteed £1m plus before PPV revenue.

No av you? My point is they will get a flat fee. Any extra they want is greed imo,like i posted earlier Nigel Benn survived on 750,000 for fightin a killer in Gerald McClellan so these two can survive on their flat fee too
Ewbanks by decision...wide.
he seemed like the same old degale to me, he was always quick to bite.
that's ok then
