Eubank Jr Splits from Matchroom?

Post by Boxerbeetle »

Chris (senior) just tweeted that Jr has been released from his contract with Matchroom as Hennessey won the purse bids for Jr vs Blackwell :o

They want to cut Hearn out and have Jr headling ppvs to early for that to work imo

They were never 100% in the Hearn camp.
Before they signed I believe they asked FW to come on board as an advisor.
Eubanks going down the Fury route of doing it their own way. Cant fault them for that, although it pains me to see Eddie not have things all his own way, it really does...

I think they have been with 3 different promoters already & I know that Allegedly always said they were both difficult to deal with so if they have left it seems possible.
But there comes a time when they will have to accept they cant just keeping thinking the grass is greener

Boxing is about striking whilst the iron is hot.
Eubank is a valuable commodity at the moment and his contract is up. That allows him to go and test the market, if Eubank goes to FW and Uncle Al and the money isnt right he will go back to sky sports and they will take him.
It isnt personal its smart business.
If Eddie got his feeling hurt they will just go over his head, fury has shown it can be done

I think that as long as CEJ wins he will stay with Matchroom.

Strange move - why are they bothering with Luke Blackledge?

Jnr has good moment from the Spike fight- why not have the final fight on sky before renogiating a better deal unless of course Hennessy has got himself a date on sky off the back of Fury..

Perhaps he wants to be British champion. Eubank senior never was.

Can someone explain this to me please.... Eubank just won a final eliminator for the WBA title, yet he wants to fight for the British title? Why?

The Blackwell is fight is actually a good fight at this stage for Eubank,he shouldn`t be rushed to much and I think Mick put in a big bid and it will be a decent payday.I think they might just be angling for a better deal with Matchroom with Snr tweeting that team Eubank is perfect product for any ppv platform.If he`s seen that Joshua is a ppv headliner already and think he can do the same with JR but cut Hearn out I think he overestermates Jrs pulling power at the moment.The only ppvs which will have little or no involvement from Matchroom is big events and Jr isn`t a big event headliner yet.

Reward (money)/Risk (losing) ratio probably a lot better against Blackwell!

Here's the thing. I would imagine all Hearn boxers must sign an exclusivity agreement with Sky Sports. If Eubank had stayed with Hearn, would he not be in breach, as the fight is on C5.

It's effectively team eubank, I like the way they do business it means they don't got frozen out of fights for being with the wrong promoter. Haye does or did the same thing and so does frampton. It's the way forward imo.

By loosing the bid Matchroom forfeit the right for the third Eubank fight in a 3 fight deal they had. Eubanks will fight on Chanel 5, after which they will be open for another deal. I think Blackwell is the best option for Eubank at the moment.
