    Might as well get their cut off the top. That was a publicity stunt that saved the show and it needs it. The circus is in town.

      He saw a chance to land a blow to the head and did so with a poachers effort, scrambling the brain of Benn. Nash out - His Most Majestic Majesty

        If, as has been suggested, Eubank Jr is getting a cut of the PPV revenue, this might well be one of the best business decisions he's ever made. Especially as it's a 2-fight deal and this manufactured rivalry now looks like a genuine beef, which translates into column inches, clicks and sales.

          Seems like the commission tacitly approved of Eubanks' benn omelet because I would of thought that if they were as upset as they said they were (I believe their response was something along the lines of "we want to send a message to make sure this doesn't happen again") they would have fined him more than that considering he probably increased his take of the ppv sales by quite a bit but besides that his base salary b4 ppv wouldn't be less than 2mil and even at just that it's only %5 of his purse.

            It's a good thing Eubank Jr didn't actually punch Benn. He might be in jail today!

                  It was all dairy until Eubanks turned it into a beef. Benn got egg on his face and everybody got the joke.

                    To an extent I am hoping this doesnt do good numbers. Otherwise, if it does well, it could encourage others to pull crap like this
