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%).
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
I hear what you and Ross are saying and in an ideal World it might work like that. But it doesn't.
Just for a second , put yourself in the Promoter's shoes.
Imagine you are Warren or Hearn. you feel like Team Eubank have pissed you about. Do you do business with them in the future? Yes, but only on your terms because you're not going to let the same thing happen again.
Eubank already went from Hennessey to Warren, then Hearn, now back to Hennessey.
Hennessey - Why did he leave him? because he felt he'd progress with Warren because of the matchups he can get and the financial clout. What happens after the Blackwell fight?
Warren - He got him his first big payday and the WBC Interim belt shot. all going well........Until Warren says "it's impossible to negotiate with him." he goes to Matchroom, Why? because he felt he'd progress with Hearn because of the financial clout.
Hearn - He gets him his other decent pay day and talks big talk about "the Future." one week later, he's left. Matchroom are obviously gonna be fuming. Why has he left ? because Hennessey won a purse bid on a "step backward" fight that Matchroom didn't want him to fight. Short sighted? I think so.
So Eubank beats Blackwell, then What? he's still mandatory for Jacobs, can Hennessey deliver that?
Who is Hennessey's Golden Egg? answer Fury.
What does Fury think of the Eubanks ? Pair of Wankers! interesting.
finally , and it's not completely connected, but is it me, or has anyone else noticed that although Adam Booth is officially his trainer, they don't spend much time together, and Booth never gets interviewed about Jr.
after the Jeter fight - nowhere to be seen after the fight.
after the O'Sullivan fight - Ditto.
I reckon Adam Booth has said "look, I'll train you to fight , I'll be in your corner, but I want absolutely fuck all to do with your stupid fuckin circus!"
Theres quite a few recent interviews with Booth about Eubank.
If the promoters do jot want to work with Eubank then they can go to high heaven. Junior can move to USA and carry on there if he needs to.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Yes, the Brook fight is still on. And where would that fight be ? UK or USA? Which is the original point about you saying Eubank could go off to the States.
They don't suffer fools gladly in the U.S. There is big money to be made out there, but only if you've proved yourself first.
At least Khan was a World Champion when he made the move, Eubank isn't.
