Eubank Jr ITV PPV fallen through?

[rd350lc]

Dont quote me on this but ive heard from a relaible source that ITV have pulled out.

thats a real suprise , I'm suprised they even entered negotiations on this farce .

[magnus]

Quinlan is getting just A$55k, his wife is about have a baby and he's yet to even book a flight. Doesn't sound promising.

About £32k.

The first dollar must drop to the fighter, however, is the Eubank mantra. No doubt Qiunlan will see a healthy share of the PPV millions

Why is his dad on the poster? Is he fighting too.

Because he was a hugely famous boxer, and his son is fighting?

snr is a thing of the past and now is a deluded old man.

absolutely no reason for him to be on that poster at all, its divvy.

and that "reborn" and eubank legend lives on stuff is comical and cringey.

Indeed I dont get the reborn quote. I could understand if Jr had been in an epic battle ala Rocky Balboa v Apollo Creed 1 and has got another epic shot. But its effing ludicrous, I think Jr is letting daddy ruin his effing career, but saying that, it seems to be about money now not the glory. Jr is going to go the easy route to millions.

yep , He obviously doesn't realise what a massive tool he looks

I used to get embaressed with my old man shouting from the sidelines playing footy , but this is on another level of cringe .

[MrJasonM]

I get the whole appeal of using Sr as a bit of a PR exercise, especially at the start of Jr's career. Lets face it Sr is a character and he achieved some great things, and is very well known.

But I feel as soon as Jr fought BJS, he should have quietly ushered his dad aside and become his own man. That fight, even though he lost, did a lot for his profile as at least a credible fringe world level fighter.

Putting it mildly it has all become a bit of a circus act now. Shame as I do think Jr could be very good.

[keithmoonhangover]

There are probably almost literally a million things you can slaughter this fight for. Eubank Snr being on the poster isn't one of them. People keep talking about the Eubank name being a selling point; they're obviously going to try and capitalise on it.

Absolutely. Good for them if they are still cashing in on the Eubank name. Im waiting for the IBO world tour 10 fights in 12 months.

Junior vs Ray Close. #thistimeitspersonal

I'm a boxing fan.. Eubank Jnr is a very good entertaining boxer. Far more entertaining than some of the drivel on PPV.. I agree with Snr £20 is worth it all day long.. I think people underestimate the reach of ITV compared to Sky.. I think if pushed correctly will do over 100,000 buys just with casuals.. Eubank Snr is a bit of a muppet at times but was also fun to watch.. Why should Everything go through Hearn and Warren.. If everyone backed ITV boxing then boxing would keep getting better.. Hearn already under pressure from Warren and upping his game..

This is even better than your 'Vitali Klitschko would beat any boxer in history' post

End of the day at this moment in time he probably would anyone of them who's still alive.. People need to realize prime v prime is fighters in their own era.. It's the same with footballers the game has moved on in the last 30 years..

Who watches ITV these days? The worlds changed. ITV have got two hopes here Bob Hope and no hope.

If the Eubanks had a brain cell between them they'd set this up through an online production company at a fiver a pop and do it through YouTube or facebook live or whatever it is.

The idea that ITV can attract more viewers for a boxing match than any other freeview channel seems mad to me. I could see it through BT or BBC, they're much broader platforms to target sports fans but the days of big time boxing are gone.

Besides this isn't a fight that you just can't consider missing. Even if it turns out to be a decent scrap it will be considered the night junior got found out. Part with £20 or come on here and check the round by round when I get home from the pub? I'll keep the score for beer tokens thanks.

Have you taken light refreshment?

You're honestly going to pay 20 quid for this fight (assuming that's the price they charge) I think you're the first I've heard say that so fair play I guess in a way. I think all of us on here are happy to see itv back in boxing and will back it....a fair few even for PPV but just not this one!

[mickey1975]

None of my children or nephews, which there is a lot, ever watch tv in real time. They'd stream it if they were excited about the fight. They don't even know it's happening. Sky hammer the life out of a ppv to the point that even I'm questioning if it's a good fight, even though I know it's a mismatch!

I'm not a fan on PPV in general but I always pay it.. Same as Sky prices get on my nerves but I pay it. I do believe watching a Eubank Jnr fight on TV is worth £20.. He is entertainment and in my opinion our hottest prospect to be a superstar. Do I wish it was free to Air? Of course.. Is it any more of a RIP off than Some of AJ's? No.. I am maybe willing to pay for this more due to the fact I'm fed up of all these Bum fights.. Having people arguing with me on Facebook that Dillian Whyte is a Elite Heavyweight..

[mickey1975]

You've got to be joking here, Dave.

[Exoddus]

This is for the IBO belt correct? Have I been sleeping under a rock? Last time I checked the IBO belt meant absolute 0.

[TheLeprechaun]

The only reason people are getting angry because they know they are going to fork out the 20 quid.

These are the same people who paid for Bellew cleverly, Joshua molina, khan salita etc.

[forcefraser]

I blame all of this on Carl the feline Thompson. Had he not handed out those two beatdowns that Eubank admittedly took like a real warrior, none of this would be happening.

Through the adversity of those wars he gained the respect and from that respect emerged a monster.

Really? I genuinely can't imagine anyone in their right mind paying 20 quid for this. There doesn't even seem to be any anger about it like there is for Sky PPVs - people are just baffled by it.

This PPV will do great numbers. Almost everyone on here will buy it. You really think people who paid for khan salita won't pay for this?

I don't even think it will go ahead as the whole thing is a joke. But if it does go ahead, they will not get more than a handful of buys and the promotion will lose a lot of money.

As ive heard ITV have pulled this is an irrelivent reply.

But are you telling me that you would pay £20 to see 1 fight, not a whole bill of fights but 1 fight and a load of commercials inbetween rounds. Actually thats not correct let me rephrase it.

But are you telling me that you would pay £20 to see 1 fight, not a whole bill of fights but 1 fight and a few commercials before the fight and some after the first round before the interviewer speaks to the Eubanks about the 1 round blow out and how they justified their ppv event?

[Pugilist-specialist]

I've been very critical of this ongoing farce and it's never PPV but Galahad v Yefimovych is the support seemingly which is a decent fight at 126

Yefimovych is #9 with IBF and Galahad is #14.

Adam Etches rumoured to be in a decent fight as well.

[mfc_se15]

£12.95. Still no word on how free view customers get it as far as I can see. Personally won't be buying it living in London if I'm going to pay that I almost might as well go and pay 40 quid to watch it live.
