Matchroom said they weren't prepared to give Blackwell more than £120,000. Apparently Jr is already on bigger than that, so the fight didn't make sense for them. They certainly wouldn't have expected to get the elbow though. Hence why old Bazza did his nut
I probably need a lesson on what purse bids areQuote:

then you add the sanctioning fee and other bits and bats of £30,000 then matchroom decided their purse bid would be £300,000
?
or is the purse bid the £30,000?
I think what Matchroom and BJS have alluded to is why does a fighter prefer to fight for a British Title on Channel 5 than a World Title on Sky?
I think Eubank Sr. is paranoid about being stitched up and goes completely the other way, making him very difficult to deal with as Frank Warren has stated. It probably went like this:
Eddie Hearn : we could get you £300k for a shot at Jacobs or £150k for a warm up prior to that.
Sr. : Yesss , but Hennessey will Give uthssss and Blackwell £120k each for a British Title fight and you will only give uthssss £100k each.
EH : English, me old son, forget about the British Title , I ain't paying Blackwell £120k, if he fights anyone bar your lad, he'll be getting £80k!! If you fight Jacobs and beat him, Jr. will be on a Million a fight!!!!!!
Sr. Yesssssss , however, Kipling once sssaid "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind"
EH : I'm sorry, English, you've lost me?
Sr. No Sir, it is YOU that have Lost ME and Chwistopher to boot! Either you pay the market value for the Blackwell contest, or we shall depart!
EH : English , you'll get MORE money for not fighting Blackwell.
Sr. Edward , in the world of Pugilism, one must accept the challenge and fight the good fight! as Kipling stated " If you don't get what you want, it's a sign either that you did not seriously want it, or that you tried to bargain over the price” and you Sir, must pay the correct price.
EH : English, why the fuck are we talking about some faaaacking cake maker?
Sr. it is with a heavy heart that I bid you good day Edward.
EH : fack off back to Channel 5 you Lunatic.
Sr. Would Matchroom be interested in Promoting my upcoming fight with Nigel Benn.
EH : English, Faaaaack off!
Sr. As Kipling once said, and I Quote "If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming you. . . . The world will be yours and everything in it, what's more, you'll be a man, my son.”
EH: Call facking Security, I've facking 'ad it with this facking Loon!!!!!!!
;D;D;D
I've googled it
The purse bid is just the amount the fighters get
Yep. So if Matchroom wouldn't pay Blackwell more than £120k, then Eubank would have to get the same because the BBBOC have requested the fight. They couldn't give Eubank more , so team Eubank said fuck it.Quote:

Well I don't know then. I would've thought if Blackwell is champ and it goes to purse bids, then he would get more.Quote:

For instance, them muppets at the IBF give an 85% - 15% split.
Eubank probably wants to learn more and get some domestic titles along the way.junior probably feels he is not ready for world tile yet.
Purse bids happen if the promoters can't reach a deal after a fight has been ordered - for whatever title.
The champion will be entitled to the superior cut.
So in this case (Blackwell-Jr) - Frank Warren bid £150,000, Matchroom £200,000 and Fat Mick £250,000. Therefore Mick has the rights to stage the show.
Matchroom clearly didn't want to go the Blackwell route unless they're in control, but weren't expecting the Eubanks to bin them off either. Hence the fall out. Purse bids are lost all the time by the A-side, the fights then get pulled, but these nutter Eubanks said we're doing it, taking themselves off SKY and seriously pissing off old Barry. :D
I say well done the Eubanks!Quote:
