The whole of the Boxing hierarchy is seeing this Eubank circus for what it is . Even ITV are taking the piss really. Yeah, we'll pay you peanuts, but you can have the PPV. at £10 - £12 a shot , he probably stands to make at least £50!!! ;D;D;D;D
Fighters who were supposed to give him a tough fight got absolutely battered. Osullivan got pulled out. Blackwell...
Hes doing what you would expect a world class fighter to do to lower level opposition, he's making them look like they don't belong in there with him.
If Murray were to fight Eubank Jr at middle I seriously doubt he lasts as long with Eubank as he did with Golovkin. Same goes for Brook.
I'd probably still fancy Murray against Eubank Jr. Despite the fact that I reckon Murray's best days are way behind him.Quote:

It's all conjecture, but I reckon Murray at his best was better than Eubank Jr. Has ever been. He certainly achieved more than Eubank Jr. Has to date. Obviously that may change, but Jr. is 28 now. 28! Not some up and coming kid.
When you consider that around 9 Million ITV viewers will potentially be seeing this advertised during the Rugby on Saturday afternoon you realise how small Sky Sports are in comparison and what an brilliant opportunity Eubank Jnr has found himself in and what a massive platform he can keep fighting on if it sells well - It's on a plate for him really :)
Chris Eubank Jnr begins a new venture on Saturday night, in a new division, with ITV Box Office intent on making the young fighter a flagship name for its foray into pay-per-view sports programming.
Eubank meets IBO supermiddleweight champion Renold Quinlan, a little-known an Australian boxer.
Yet with Eubank, and the Eubank name, ITV Box Office have chosen well. Eubank and son resonate in boxing circles, and beyond. It is a name which the public associates with the sport. And with ITV broadcasting the Six Nations match between England and France live on Saturday afternoon, expected to draw around 9 million viewers, there will be teasers for the boxing extravaganza on its box office channel.
There is little concern that 'Eubank + Boxing' sells. Place them in a room, with opponents, and let the chemistry happen. On Thursday, Eubank Jnr, a quiet, menacing man, offered a withering assessment at a news conference from Olympia of future rivals Billy Joe Saunders and Gennady Golovkin.
Eubank said he would scorch both the UK No 1 middleweight - Saunders - the only man to defeat 27-year-old Eubank in his 24-fight career, and Golovkin, the world's No 1 in the division. Chris Eubank Snr, the former two-weight world champion, looked on serenely.
What ITV are doing - with pound for pound modern great Andre Ward and once great undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis providing ringside analysis - looks intriguing and by dipping their toes into the box office market, it has created another potentially lucrative outlet for the bigger names in boxing.
Thursday gave the platform for Eubank Jnr and his father to expound their next few years. Although Junior stressed he is not overlooking Quinlan, his heart is set on another fight with WBO middleweight champion Saunders, and the Kazakh Golovkin.
"Saunders, I'm never, ever going to get past that fight, I'm never going to have him out of mind, until I right that wrong," said Eubank Jnr. "He has a win over me; I need to even the score."
The contest on Saturday night is Eubank Jnr's first fight at super middleweight. He admitted to being comfortable with the extra eight pounds. His father, worth recalling, went from middleweight to cruiserweight by the end of his career.
"After this victory, I'm coming for everybody. Saunders, James DeGale. I want the rest of those teeth, I've told everybody I'm going to put DeGale's teeth on my mantelpiece," he said.
"Then there's Gennady Golovkin. He is viewed by some of you guys as one of the best in the world. I don't see it. I can see holes in him. I've got a nice little plan for that man Golovkin."
Eubank Snr told The Telegraph: "We have no fear of these opponents. We are serious. Even Andre Ward who is here, working for ITV Box Office. I do not fear these fighters for my son. ITV have been very wise to see us, to become involved with us. It has created an opportunity for us to steer our own path, to create fights which the fans want to see, the biggest fights."
Also on the card are the heavyweight David Price, who faces Christian Hammer, and flyweight Andrew Selby who meets Ardin Diale for the WBC international crown. But the 3000 fans will be at Olympia for team Eubank. The father and son who refuse to be denied.

I think he will get, and maybe win, a GGG fight. And it may well be negotiated outside the Hearn/Warren empire
Can't believe this is a sticky, they'll give a sticky to any ole' fight these days. In fact, any ole' guy can get a world title shot. In my day, Frank Warren had to pay some eastern European dude to lie down for a title. #graft
Given the amount of views and posts this thread has received why shouldn't it be?
It's by far the busiest current thread on the forum so people obviously have an interest in Eubank Jnr.
Superheavy is obviously joking.
The whole card is good and far better value for money than what sky are offering. In fact this card embarrasses them.
its a good card, im looking forward to all of the fights
I'm not sure it embarrasses sky tho, they have put on some good cards themselves recently
well have to wait to see how the fights go first too, they might all end up shit
Sorry mate, Master's right. I was trying to be humourous. I shall try to signpost it better next time.Quote:

ITV is a huge platform to be fighting on but he needs to look devastating on Saturday night to get people talking and get the ball rolling.
Being honest here if i was young Eubank and knew my punches were hurting him and was confident i could walk through his i'd carry the fight a few more rounds than i had to and systematically punish Quinlan over more rounds than i really needed to and sell myself more to the average man in the street type of fans.
Basically a 1st round KO win is gonna 50% impress but also 50% get the hardcore fans jumping all over the missmatch bus.
I'm actually looking forward to this not just for the decent looking card but also because of the pressure it puts on Sky, BT and Boxnation to up their game should it prove a success.
Throw the David Haye/Richard Schaefer - "Hayemaker Ringstar" newbies into the mix and it surely leaves the UK fight scene in it's best EVER position.
It's all looking rather good and British Boxing is rocking at the moment :cool:
Does not matter if they end up rubbish fights, the point is we all knew GGG v Brook was a mis match and Haye v Bellew will be the same. Have a word with yourself and your love of all things Sky. :)Quote:

How do we see the Price v Hammer fight going? Could be the end of Prices career.....
i'm not arsed what channel shit is onQuote:
