Eubank Jnr v Renold Quinlan - ITV Box Office 4/2/17

[Master]

I have not seen any itv advert for this on TV yet. Have I missed it?

I wouldn't know, I can't remember the last time I watched anything on ITV and I can't imagine it being advertised on different channels, that's the thing with Sky, they put it on one channel and advertise the fight on 50 channels.

I hate 4 months of sky adverts and hype for the AJ fight.

[Primo Carnera]

I've got a theory about what's happening here. I reckon Team Eubank and ITV have struck a deal here where he's on a low purse with a big cut of the PPV takings. Eubank Sr. has gone on about what a PPV star his boy is, so ITV have said "Fine , if he is that big a draw, take the risk and have the thick end of the PPV wedge."
Therefore ITV's risk is minimal. So what they have then done is put together a pretty decent undercard which they are showing free to air on ITV4. The Eubank thing has garnered interest, but people won't pay for that , but watch the ITV4 part.
ITV wouldn't need to sell it that much because they don't give a fuck what happens about the PPV element. They'll ride on the back of the Eubank train and get the exposure and then get a decent audience for the undercard , gently introducing themselves back into the mix.
as for the lack of advertising, that's down to this Poxon Promotions and "Motion in Unity" , whoever they are. Eubank Sr. has probably got these guys on the cheap, and the old "pay peanuts, get monkeys" syndrome kicks in .
nothing else makes sense to me, and if this is the case , it's a ridiculously big gamble by Sr. which will definitely backfire.

I think you have pretty much nailed it right there

I think it's your right too Primo. The card is excellent quality especially for a free to watch show!

David Price? On his own or against a bum? Boring but he's in a pretty good match up with a decent fighter who could beat him here.

I think the Eubanks main intention is getting their own platform. I don't think e future of it is going to be dependant on how successful the buys are for this show. It's a pretty low risk opponent although heavier. This is to get the platform up and running. Potentially this could be a bigger earner than sky could be. ITV can advertise to everyone whereas sky only advertise to sky customers. A lower price on the pay per view and a good name opponent or a similar level match ups on an undercard included next time and most boxing fans will pay when you think some of the shit they pay sky for!

As I said before (and I could be wrong) the benefit that Sky have is that they advertise one PPV across 50 channels, I don't think ITV ever advertise on Sky channels do they, so would they be advertising to a larger audience than Sky do?

I mean what percentage of the UK watch channels that Sky provide? I'm pretty sure that even a large portion of the freeview channels promote Sky don't they?

again I could be wrong as I don't watch all that much TV

[Mark TKO]

As Chris Eubank Sr would say to something he likes on Twatter ''you sir, are good to go''
