isn't that right?

so eubank must have been free to pick and choose

if after the Blackwell fight matchroom get him a fight that makes everyone lots of money im sure the fight will happen under matchrooms terms
that's how I saw it originally. But after what has been said from many sides of the fence, apparently Because Hennessy won Purse bids for the Blackwell fight, this allows Eubank to be released from his Matchroom and he has exercised that right.
What team Eubank have done is possibly sacrifice a World Title bid for a British Title fight! Matchroom had a value for the British title fight and weren't prepared to go above that. Reading between the lines , Team Eubank are probably getting a bit more from Hennessey for this fight and think they can go back and re-negotiate with Sky/Matchroom at a later date.
I don't think Matchroom feel quite the same way. They were starting to Build up the Profile on Sky and mistakenly thought all parties were in it for the long haul.
I think Eubank Sr. believes he can barter on a fight to fight basis, but he ain't Floyd yet!
he's playing a dangerous game, Warren's having none of it, Matchroom will be the same, and he's already been with and left Fat Mick before.
