Will have to pay extra on top of your DAZN sub. Not confirmed how much more.
I read it might be similar to the Canelo-GGG, which is £17.99 if i'm correct..

Anyone already subbed, they should charge only £9 or something..

it's shocking.
DAZN is a joke of a channel
A UK channel that doesn't show anything at a decent time and when they get a decent fight or something interesting it goes on PPV.

Why were tickets so cheap? Ed claims this could sell out 3 Wembleys… yet there were 40 quid ticks at the O2.. I would of thought a fight like this the cheap seats would be 100£+

It’s not like it helps fans. Just give resale leaches a bigger profit margin…

So bots bought up all the tickets and now they are being resold for double or triple the price.
Nice one for the fans :doh:

Yeh. They’d rather just sell the tickets at the re-sale prices anyway.

I haven't been that impressed with Eubank the last couple of years.
He has done the buisnes, granted.
Maybe I expect too much, but its been what, three years with RJJ and all I'm seeing is a lowered work rate from Eubank - the thing IMO - that was one of his best assets.

Tickets seem more an ego thing than a money making thing now, which is madness.

If matchroom wanted they could have named tickets, 100 each starting price and really had a crack at legit selling out and maximising profits. Instead they use the “sold out in 47 min” to hype the show and try sell ppvs with it.

In my opinion if you ever sell out in an hour you just priced it wrong (and allowed bots). A well priced show should sell out in a couple of weeks.

I like the idea of having a section of cheap tickets that are undervalued that you can sell to some fans battling financially a bit, but all that’s undone if scalpers then move them to 250 quid.

He did briefly hold it during the WBSS until Sir George showed him what a champion was, then they chucked a vacant belt into the DeGale fight, but he moved down straight after.
It has been an unusual career for Eubank Jr.

I like Benn... But I really wish that he didn't take this fight.... Eubank is just too big for him and I can see Connor getting stopped...

Actually surprised they dont call him a two time wba interim champion, which is arguably more prestigious

Eubank Senior gone missing since the fight announced. Maybe he doesn’t want to re-ignite the beef with Nigel to help sell the fight. With the loss of his other son, he may feel he doesn’t want to be involved with the fight promotion.

Regarding the fight itself, Conor is going to smash Jr’s face in.

Well part 2 of their tour is coming just after the fight, brilliant for the promoters.

I think Eubank will win early, he was strong at super middle, a good puncher too.

Benn has been hurt at welter and normally gets matched against non punchers.

All depends on the weight loss and how it effects ,, Think weve all seen lots and lots of guys , who just seem to lose power and strenght when they go below a certain weight ,, is Eubank going to come in completly and utterly drained , losing muscle he can't get back with hydration , or is he losing fat , ,, what % body fat does he normally have ,, You would of thought they would of used a scientific aproach and looked at his body fat now , when he usually enters the ring and determinned if he's going to cut into muscle and be depleted totaly ,, or are they just looking at the DOLLARS
