Couldn’t make it up.

So in short, we are going back to the model before he started ripping off us with unworthy PPVs.

That’s the opposite of Game. Changed.
Eddie didn’t introduce dodgy PPVs - they’ve been around years. Khan/Prescott, Degale/Groves for the British title etc etc.

They have certainly become more frequent on his watch.

I dislike the idea of PPV on Dazn and will probably ditch Dazn if they go that way, but let's not kid ourselves that Hearn is the main one or the only one at fault here.

Sky are falling over themselves to get back into the PPV game, as Eubank/Williams proves. A good domestic scrap, and that's all it is. Both have been exposed at anything approaching world level. Sky have zero intention of dropping or decreasing their PPV nights. Quite the opposite in fact.

Arum thinks he can mug the Uk market off with PPV fights, as he has already proven. Warren is absolutely no better. Tommy fkn Fury anyone.

Game wrecked!

Great Saturday night fight, but box office? Ain't even a title at stake. Sky are a joke
Eddie was moaning about the Brook-Khan fight the other day.
He's started coming across a tad bitter now he hasn't got the Sky machine behind him :lol:

True. Williams showed his level there, and the second Smith fight. From those, it looked to be below Eubank Jr. If he can improve, at 29 he may be peaking right now, all well and good. But neither are, nor will be PPV worthy. Good fight though, don't get me wrong, but really is it more than a British title level fight?
The answer is no.
