Wow. Good for them. Figuring that most of these PPV buys were in Great Britain.
Gary it was ppv here on Fight Network but in the UK Sky Sports is a subscription channel similar to Showtime etc. It is available on the stick
OK – thank you, Johnny Ace.
Puts a lot of hype job American fights/fighters to shame.
The article is a bit misleading because it wasn’t ppv in UK. Still good numbers though. Shows there is an interest when fans aren’t shafted with fees. Eubank Jr also has this weird nostalgia following because of his dad. He has always had a bit more public interest in his career than other fighters at his level.
Weird nostalgia following because of his dad? are you having a laugh. Eubank jr is 32 wins two losses The Media has a massive influence on the fans, If the media said Chris Eubanks jr is a great fighter then the fans with go with it, the media has massive influence not just in boxing, the media tell you what to think who to vote for. They can convince the most people to believe anything they’ve manage to fool millions of people in to believing a common cold is a deadly disease.
IMO, Eddie Hearn is the best promoter in boxing today!
Dude is snake oil slick and gives false information to the media like its his job. Such as, “Fury-Joshua is a done deal”.
All is forgiven.
This was not Hearn it was Boxxer not Matchroom
Not to watch Shields that for damn sure!!
massive numbers for a card mostly full of b grade fighters. The most exciting thing was seeing Shields and Marshall arguing, was hoping to see some bare knuckle fighting. I think Shields needed a translator to understand Marshall
I wish Eddie Hearn would take over the career of boxing’s best kept secret, Charles Conwell. He literally killed a man in the ring, so I can see why other fighters avoid him, but c’mon, he needs to be fighting & Hearn would keep him busy.
