No, Screensport. Barry Hearn asked one of his European snooker contacts Francis Baron to have a look at Eubank and invest in boxing. The guy saw Eubank's fight with Les Wisinewski, including the ring entrance, and invested in Eubank. It was a programmed called ProBox on Eurosport, and was distributed to FoxSports in the US after Eubank won his first (Intercontinental or whatever it was) championship, and by three years later about 60 countries were picking it up and Eubank was attracting hundreds of millions of viewers. He made Matchroom a lot of money.

David Brenner used to suck Eubank off, while over on ITV Gutteridge and Watt would be having a pop.
