Certainly sounds that way, BJS sent a number of tweets mocking the Eubanks regarding the situation and Chris Eubank snr didn't deny it and referred to BJS as toxic.

Shame it had to go this way I'm a big fan but they need to concentrate on boxing not business. Yes look after interests and don't settle for a raw deal but make big money fights happen.

Saw it coming miles off.

Gloating that you've managed to pull a PPV event off without Matchroom and Sky seems to be a death nail. I wonder if like Queensbury the Eubanks are gonna give it the 'we proved it could be done' line.

Kugie Bear has tweeted saying he has been told the fight is still on and the undercard will be announced today.

ITV backtracked and are persevering.

I'd be amazed if it doesn't fall through though.

ITV lost through football with ITV digital. This will be boxing version of it. Awful model.

Eubank Sr on fight poster aswell. I'm a huge Eubank fan but the social media age has taken a already inflated ego through the roof.

Nope and it's got ITV box office on the bottom right,

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

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.

Then 2020 - 'Restyled on the Nile'.

Few people with egg on their faces seeing that no doubt. It may still fall through but there are a lot out there desperate for this to go wrong.

More expecting it to go wrong to be fair. As a PPV event it's being given four weeks build up which isn't great.

It's also a very, very bad fight. People are correct to say that if this was chief support on a fifteen quid PPV card a-la Joshua Molina it would be heavily criticised. As a PPV headliner it is manifestly pathetic.

Is there any indication of the undercard ? And is it true Chris Eubank Sr has requested all internet services switch off their service throughout the world that night?

I definitely jumped the gun. But just can not for the life of me see this fight being a success and thus think it will be pulled before it happens.

Anybody have a idea of the break even figure for ITV with this PPv ?

I'm sure it will do 50k and at £20 a pop... It won't be a disaster.

This pretty much sums it up, it's a shite fight, if Hearn put it in for free Eubank would still get stick, to expect people to pay £20 is just daft, I still think it won't happen, if it does it won't sell very well.

I'm not thinking of this place more the likes of Saunders and his cheerleaders.

I think the £20 isn't the true figure either, it's absolutely absurd if it is tho.

Fair cop.

Warren has come across as justifiably baffled by the fight, and don't get me wrong; it is garbage.

But this coming from a man who put Evans Ashira and Bobby Gunn into genuine world title fights?

No chance this fight does 50k.

Joshua is not doing 500k on sky and Canello barely done 300 last fight

Please tell me you're making that up

Gonna do 8mil according to snr.

I was shocked to see this too, considering how he likes to stay out of the limelight and keep a low profile.

If snr said that, it must be true

If it even goes ahead it will bomb bigstylee .

Can't imagine who is gonna buy this, its not like the Joshua ppvs where we all say we are not buying but then do anyway because of some interest in the undercard

Yeah even if they pretty much give it away it's going to only appeal to boxing fans. Unless they are marketing geniuses and some how convince the regular ITV viewer that this is the greatest mega fight that's ever existed.
