Where are you getting the double ticket prices? Did Hearn say "double?" What's wrong with commentary team? Saunders won by SD, and most boxing aficionados have acknowledged Eubank won Rd 6 and after. The Eubank's are careful in branding their name, especially after the Saunders bout. If he is going to fight Golovkin they want it done "propah!" Imagine Arum telling everyone, "easy breezy, I've been doing this for 50 years and I still think Don King is a n....."
Oh Hearn, you jokester you.Comment

From his interview last night. Hearn explains why the Eubank deal didn't materialise.

Lets see if the Eubanks come out and deny the stuff about wanting operational control of the fight. Presumably it is all written down in emails. No denial will show up the Eubanks.
Both Hennessey and Warren are on record for saying how difficult and unpleasant it is to deal with Eubank sr. so there is that as background.Comment

Sr is very difficult, that is a certainty.
However, Eubank Jr has been publicly asking Hearn for days what the hold up is? You'd have to imagine the negotiations with Hearn and the Eubank's hit the sticking point and instead of trying to work them out, Hearn has went behind their back and sold Kell Brook down the river instead.Comment

There are many inconsistencies too. Abel publicly stated that they couldn't wait any longer for Eubank Jr because of HBO's "dates," as if HBO has a problem with Lil'G... or better, Lil'G always trains, and it's not like Lil'G is changing his style anytime soon, that same style even before Abel was in the picture, for his upcoming opponent.
I can't blame Hearn and its his "promotion," but he basically admitted that Eubank's demands were there from the get go, and that he wasn't bluffing about not changing the same style of Joshua negotiations. Meaning, "it's my way, ot the highway." So in theory he could've told the public from the get go, but then that would lut pressure or negativity towards Hearn. One way or the other Eubank Sr. has earned his respect in British boxing. I think this was all some ego trip by both, but at the end of the day, as we criticized Arum, it's the boxers who put on the gloves, and Sr. has every right to ask for concessions. We're talking about a 160 vs a 147. I mean cmon here...
Hearn doesn't realize he has lost some respect regardless of his efforts or accomplishment with Joshua.Comment

So the Eubanks torpedoed the fight and all their trash talk was emptier than a bimbo's skull.
Figures. That's usually how the pathetic middleweight division operates. Guess I won't ever take Chris Eubank seriously again when he opens his mouth, knowing this. It's all fake talk.Comment

Eubanks has previous with these types of demands.
The deal offered was exactly the same as Joshua gets, and Joshua does VERY well out of the PPV revenue.
Eubanks Snr wanted to control ticket prices, the undercard AND the undercard purse.
They made similar demands when trying to negotiate a rematch with BJS.
Remember, Eubanks has NO EXPERIENCE of promoting an event this big.Comment
