They weren't willing to pay Eubank his fee - which is more than he's getting for this fight - plus Blackwell £120,000. All old Eubank has done is chin his son off SKY. Terrestrial TV doesn't mean shit these days. Dinosaurs.

then why take the fight? he must just want the british title

which matchroom couldn't or didn't want to deliver at that time

Yes. I've said it several times already - Matchroom obviously wanted to go a different route. After the O2 bill the last thing they would have expected was the old man to bin them because they said the British title fight numbers don't make sense.

Blackwell as the champion is entitled to the lions share of the purse bid (I think it's around 65%).
