Also will Eubank have more power at the bigger weight, if he does and can put guys to sleep he's gonna be very hard to beat.
I think Price is getting banged out, I have serious doubts about his chin still.
It's more important than having KO power especially in the Heavyweight division.
its massive for price
if he wins he has the same ITV potential as Eubank
there could be 2 ITV PPV stars in the making :)
Could we see BBC PPV?Quote:

Eubank is still hurt by his only pro defeat to Saunders back in November 2014 when he dropped a split decision to the Traveller.
He is determined to avenge that defeat against the current WBO middleweight king, even though he has stepped up to challenge Quinlan at 168lbs for the IBO title tonight at London's Olympia, live on ITV Box Office.
"Saunders, I'm never, ever going to get past that fight," he said. "I'm never going to have him out of mind until I right that wrong.
"He has a win over me. I need to even the score."
Eubank, 27, knows the IBO is lightly-regarded, but feels winning the title could lead to bigger fights.
He still wants unbeaten middleweight king Gennady Golovkin after talks for a fight between them broke down last summer and is also eyeing up IBF super-middleweight champ James DeGale.
"After this, I'm coming for everybody," he said. "DeGale, I want the rest of those teeth he didn't lose against Badou Jack. I've told everybody I'm going to put them on my mantelpiece.
"Golovkin, he's seen by some of you guys as one of the best in the world. I don't see that. I can see holes. I've got a nice little plan for that man. Golovkin, I'm coming for you."
ITV hope Eubank can launch their return to big-time boxing and the challenger is grateful to Quinlan for flying over from Australia to face him.
Quinlan is not highly rated and this is only his 12th pro fight, but he did knock out former WBA middleweight champ Daniel Geale in two rounds to claim the IBO crown in October.
Eubank, who is 23-1-0, said: "He's travelled halfway across the world to come here and defend his title. I’ve got respect for that; he didn’t have to do that, he could have taken the easy route."
Chris Eubank Jnr hoping victory over Renold Quinlan will offer chance of revenge against Billy Joe Saunders
Yeah this pisses all over Sky/Matchroom PPV's.
An outstanding IBO supermiddle world championship main event between two fighters not ranked in the top 10 anywhere in the world. The Dunghutti Destroyer (11-1-0) is the 20/1 defending champion, Simply the Best-ish MK II (23-1-0) is a 1/200 challenger. The bookies believe there's more chance of Elvis living on the moon than the Aussie going home with his mickey mouse belt.
The fantastic undercard consists of -
Andrew Selby (7-0-0) vs Ardin Diale (32-10-4), which the bookies also see as a mismatch. The Welsh Mayweather's younger brother (1/200) challenges for the WBC international title against the filipino Jackal (20/1), who will be hoping to make it 5th time lucky that he isn't stretchered out on foreign soil.
Kid Galahad (21-0-0) is a 1/20 favourite over 50-year-old former bantamweight "world" champion Joseph Agbeko (31-5-0), in an IBF voluntary featherweight eliminator for #2-position. The old boy is going backdown in weight to challenge the UK's Lee Haskins and/or Jamie McDonnell after losing to Bazza.
Adam Etches (21-1-0) faces John Ryder (23-3-0) for the vacant IBF International supermiddle title. The gorilla (8/11 fav) needs a win to stave off a day job back on the building site, Etches (6/4) wants to erase the memory of the last time he was on the box when Sergey 'bond villain' Kometsky decapitated him. On a form line through the bond villain, Ryder - who has also mixed in higher class - should have the beating of Etches.
David Price (21-3-0) finally takes a slight step back up in class against Christian Hammer (20-4-0). Ironically considering his name, Hammer (2/1) is a virtual powderpuff puncher for a heavyweight, however, big Pricey's (4/11) beard ear is so fragile that, along with his non-stamina, will struggle to see the line should the fight reach the 10 minute mark.
....and only for £9.99 :)
Only difference is that there is no main event for this PPV. The undercard is good, but it is an undercard.
Hopefully now then, instead of picking famous well known fighters, Sky/Matchroom will follow this ITV/Eubank model by picking totally obscure fighters, you've never heard of let alone seen, to headline future PPV's.Quote:

PPV's between well known world-class fighters may well not be more competitive, in fact they could be considered a mismatch, however, you KNOW what you're spending money on.
If you believe fighters you've never heard of make for better "worthy" PPV's then fine.
This is ITV dipping their toes into the water of PPV so it's not exactly a big shock that they haven't thrown crazy money at it is it?
As far as i'm aware Eubank isn't even getting a purse, just a big slice of the PPV buys ;)
I'd be quite happy to pay £9.99 for it but can get it for free in HD anyway ;D
Was just about to order this fight and noticed you can watch it on a iPad etc how does that work ? Will it be like Netflix where your streaming and the quality is only as good as your connection?
Err... Wouldn't that be true for anything you watch on the Internet?Quote:

obviously if you order online through ITV it'll be a lot more stable than watching an unnoficial stream...although you will also be wasting ££££ because it isn't worthy of PPV
ITV will probably show it next week for free anyway.
