Interims, Silvers, WBF, UBO, IBA, EBU etc take your pick. 4 is bad enough. When does it stop?
yeah 4 is enough
I am a fan of multiples, I don't count the IBO tho, a lot of world champions with multiple belts mention the IBO
wald klit, GGG for example

They just get to sell "world championship boxing" to the unknowing masses that don't know the difference between obscure novices with sexy records and genuine world-class fighters. Some would say a con job.
The PPV number being bandied about is 86,000.
???? @Fenster
Eubank Sr estimated 6 million? Lmaaaao
Re: Eubank Jr - Next Fight? April ITV PPV
Yeah boxing is doing a great job of killing itself in the UK considering there's never been more shows per year with numerous TV stations - including its own dedicated one - showing live boxing plus two PPV platforms.
A geezer streaming the fight on facebook had 100,000 viewers.

Which shows there is massive support for it but people have to find alternative avenues to watch it.
It is a ridiculous situation.
Re: Eubank Jr - Next Fight? April ITV PPV
I reckon 86,000 ppv clicks would be a lot better than I would have imagined. I even reckon those figures have been "massaged" upwards. I don't even reckon half that amount paid for it . The only person I know whether it be on here or people I know, that has bought it was @erics44 !
Re: Eubank Jr - Next Fight? April ITV PPV
Well surely alternative avenues is a good thing?
For people that couldn't afford £10 they got to watch it free, if you're too tight - or refuse - you got it free too.

Watching it free on terrestrial TV Saturday night is the preferable way to watch any contest.

And if Christmas Eve is on a Saturday you get a visit from Santa as well!
Re: Eubank Jr - Next Fight? April ITV PPV
Eubank has arrived he beat a 12 fight veteran for the IBO title at SMW , GGG and Jacobs must be so relieved he is no longer fighting at MW.

It happened with Haye on Dave and Junior on Channel 5. Santa is real. :)
Re: Eubank Jr - Next Fight? April ITV PPV
Did anyone here have trouble with the coverage? I watched online but apparently the show cut off for about 20 minutes or so.
