I dnt remember the exact figure but they drew massively on TV when they had their fights.
I do realise how massive Benn v Eubank would be , and so do both of them. That is probably why Eubank got his promoter's licence. Benn said Eubank "offered" him a 70-30 split. Benn wants 50-50 and that's it.
But Eubank doesn't have the cash (he went bankrupt remember ) or the backers.
Haye also almost went bankrupt, but because he has had millions recently, he mixed in circles and did business with people, "friends" who could fund him. Eubank Sr. Isn't relevant to the money men NOW, because he made and lost his money a long time ago.
The TV Stations will also have a moral dilemma with Benn v Eubank, whereas eventually Haye will get momentum and TV execs love a "Cinderella man" story.
