Eubank Jr. expected to pocket $4M for Golovkin fight

[OnePunch]

No purse bid possible AFAIK, Ggg wasn't ranked by the Wbc. Rubio was was given a title shot, and the Wbc agreed to have the interim belt on the line. Rubio got 33% vs the champ who's also the draw, that's very generous

that whole thing was basically the WBC covering their butts from the drug-testing fiasco in the Chavez-Rubio fight. The WBC agreed to make Rubio-GGG as part of a deal that kept Rubio from suing them.......

i assume that the $4m is not a guarantee but an estimate once PPV sales have been accounted for

it'll be a big fight here. way bigger than golovkin-saunders. everyone knows the eubanks, sky sports will go all-out marketing the fight and it sort of has a "creed" storyline going for it. the action should be fun while it lasts, too. this is a great fight for golovkin's profile

In turn, this fight will make the Saunders vs the winner fight much bigger.

They got 4 million for a prospect ..but jacobs that way over priced WTF ???? Hmmmm

my first thought

Dis prove that G-Strang SCURRED a Jacobs!

Saunders not really popular in the UK, not likeable. Eubank is pretty big over there already, obviously also because of his name/father.

It's comparable to Joshua and Fury.

Saunders is with Boxnation, they don't do PPV in the UK. Also Saunders told K2 that he doesn't want to face GGG, he wants to keep his belt and defend it as long as possible without having to face GGG.

I only see it happening when Saunders is otherwise forced to fight a very strong mandatory like Kurtzide where he

a) might not make alot of money and
b) might have a big chance of losing the fight..

Anyway: When does Eubank finally sign the fight??

Incorrect. He's quite despised & un-liked actually.

Joshua, Frampton & Selby are way more popular.

Even B level Burns & Bellew are more popular! So was the kid he beat last time out too!

I'd get mauled for 4million as well

Because you're an idiot and know nothing about boxing. Eubanks promoter is making the offer, dummy

It's going to be a PPV fight over here.
Much bigger than a GGG vs Jacob/BJS fight.

Getting GGG to come over to the UK will be a real coup for SKY/Hearns and Matchroom. Fans will jump and the chance to go watch him.

Eubank is also one of the most known fighters in the UK right now. He has a love/hate thing going on (much like his dad did), that appeals to fans and casuals a like.

SKY feel he/it's worth the money. I doubt BoxNation would feel the same about BJS. Would US stations feel the same about Jacobs?
