£19.99 for a British level fight with a women’s fight as prelim…. amd another women’s fight….SMDH
Whats the running order here, if they're going to put these womens fights up the card I'll just tune in for main event . No idea why Sky and Hearn/DAZN continue persist with this stuff apart from money. I wouldn't be surprised if they do either judging by that press release

How about some undercards with far less fights and just even/quality ones? So many awful undercards now with fights that don't belong on TV. Case in point the fight chief support to Usyk Dubois, was a farce for everyone to witness
The Price and Meyler fights will drive zero buys, yet to find anyone who even knows who they are outside the boxing bubble
Mayer is desparate for the Jonas payday.

Seems a very low key build up for it, not much hype about
Maybe they are waiting for the test results
Just imagine...

I hope not
Not really excited for this fight, probably just not watch any build up and just watch main event in the bar.
Looking forward to it, none the less. Eubank fighting for his relevance here.

I love a domestic dust up, Changing times mean this is a £20 ppv rather than a top of the bill Friday Night Fight but you pay more than £20 to pop in Costa for a coffee and a cake with your mrs so this is money better spent.

Liam seems like a top bloke , he's had a fine career and i'd like to see him go out in style by winning here and then goading little drug cheat Conor Benn into a showdown at Anfield next summer

So we are going to have 10 rounds of Lauren Price and 10 rounds of Mayer. It will probably be televised too.

Horrid stuff.

Eubank has none of the intensity he had against Blackwell etc. I think Liam wins and gets a wbo shot which is winnable

There doesn’t seem much buzz about this. Certainly not as much as the first fight.

Shalom was asked yesterday about drug tests for this fight. He said it was confidential but there are lots of different agencies around.

Joe McNally and Kalle Sauerland both confirmed no VADA and didn’t mention anything else. McNally was complaining that Beefy hadn’t been tested.

I fully agree that Eddie handled the Conor Benn stuff poorly (as the board did too) but given the fact we know how few UKAD tests happen in British boxing, surely they have to find the money to some form of additional testing on Sky boxing PPV?!

Eubank wins a fishy decision setting up a third PPV.

Eubank gets bonked by a right hand over his crappy jab. He really got lucky against Korobov in hindsight

Will this sell ppvs?

Shalom said this card is almost too good… it’s feeling like a very mediocre ppv card for me.

Eubank Jr has got more out of the sport than he deserved, mostly due to his dad but I won't hold that against him, it's the fact that he's fought like an established world champ most of his career, inactivity and constantly changing trainers, even the trainers he does pick aren't very good, his dad was an egomaniac, the other fella who trained Sr whose name escapes me is a yes man(edit, Ronnie Davies), RJJ is a sh1t trainer who never keeps a charge, Bomac is flavor of the month because of Crawford's god giving talents

Jr said he mostly trains himself and that's why the British title is his ceiling

It’s £19.95.. which today is a cheap PPV lol.

The card isn’t too bad. Should be some good fights. Styles etc. we know what we saw in the first fight.

Liverpudlians love a fight and it’s nice for Manchester to get this.
