Nice place
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
Pugilism fans were charged £12.95 to watch Chris Eubank jr fight Renold Quinlan for the IBO super-middleweight title – which had already been criticised for being too expensive.
To help sell the night, notorious promoter Chris Eubank Sr promised fans a packed undercard fill of quality fights on the ITV Box Office broadcast.
But any fans shelling out for this would have been fuming, as the ITV broadcast only started working for some minutes before the main event.
Raging fans took to Twitter to vent their frustration, with even fellow boxers getting in on the act.
Boxer Tommy Coyle wrote: "ITV what a joke. Iv paid for it twice both online and on sky and it still isn't working [sic]."
Former world title challenger Kevin Mitchell added: "The ITV Box Office is no good. Ive paid for it and it not even works retweet if you have the same problem."
Oliver Cooper also wrote: "ITV Box Office sort out the pictures I am just getting a blue screen."
Beloved boxing legend Frank Bruno even got caught up in the spat, tweeting that his broadcast was working fine.
The beleaguered broadcast was also hit with copyright issues, as a stream of the pay-per-view fight had nearly 100,000 people watching it for free on Facebook Live.
Top promoters Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn blasted the Eubanks for staging the pay-per-view, with Warren urging to think about it before spending money on the programme.
Eubank went on to win the vacant IBO title after stopping Quinlan in the final round.
He could now turn his sights to fellow Brit world champion James DeGale, who he targeted in a bizarre Twitter spat before the fight.
