Interims, Silvers, WBF, UBO, IBA, EBU etc take your pick. 4 is bad enough. When does it stop?

Recently read Murray was going down to middleweight because he felt disadvantaged at super middleweight.

Junior will do what his dad did at sky and just fight no bodies.

[Master]

They really are talking up the victory as if Junior is the second coming. They need to have some perspective and think about what they are doing.

Junior is not a super middleweight but has ended up with a title they can use for prestige and leverage. He may stay at the weight now for convenience.

they haven't got a fucking clue what they're doing. they throw a few scraps out there and see if anybody bites. get this straight, his "Title" has NO PRESTIGE AND NO LEVERAGE.
Everything is contradictory. he's fought at SMW, but says a MW is his no.1 priority! he can't make a fight for any top SMW because all of their promoters will laugh in Eubank's face. I've said many times before, there's nothing wrong with being thick, but when you THINK you're smart and in reality you're thick as pigshit, then that is a big,big problem.
It is patently clear that Jr. won't fight anyone decent next. And what is also certain is that we'll hear more of those Golden nuggets of advice from Sr. in the corner, like "try a body shot, just for the funk of it!" and "maybe try a 50 punch combination!" What a complete pair of fucking clowns!!!!
ps. if anybody knows the PPV figures , please can they let us know.

How does that title give him prestige and leverage? There's not a serious boxing fan on the planet that gives any credence to an IBO title. The main four mickey mouse outfits don't recognise it, so they can't use it to do unification fights.

They just get to sell "world championship boxing" to the unknowing masses that don't know the difference between obscure novices with sexy records and genuine world-class fighters. Some would say a con job.

The PPV number being bandied about is 86,000.

[Master]

The prestige is primarily for their ego because it is a "world" title.

The leverage is to use it to get some defences in for ITV PPV.

Now that they have the bug PPV they will want all their fights to be on that platform. I curse the greed of boxing and the promoters/tv stations running the sport into the ground.

[Primo Carnera]

I reckon 86,000 ppv clicks would be a lot better than I would have imagined. I even reckon those figures have been "massaged" upwards. I don't even reckon half that amount paid for it . The only person I know whether it be on here or people I know, that has bought it was @erics44 !

? @Fenster

Eubank Sr estimated 6 million? Lmaaaao

[Fenster]

Yeah boxing is doing a great job of killing itself in the UK considering there's never been more shows per year with numerous TV stations - including its own dedicated one - showing live boxing plus two PPV platforms.

A geezer streaming the fight on facebook had 100,000 viewers.

yeah 4 is enough

I am a fan of multiples, I don't count the IBO tho, a lot of world champions with multiple belts mention the IBO

wald klit, GGG for example
