Comments Thread For: Chris Eubank Jr. Confirms Promotional Deal With Team Sauerland

[Oldskoolg]

How does this signing make any sense ?

I was wondering the same thing. Why sign with a German promotion when the Germans have nothing these days. Must have made him a sweet signing bonus. Probably means he will be able to fight more in Central Europe mainly Germany. It isn’t a bad move. I’m sure he was advised that it will result in more pay.

Good for him PBC wasn't doing anything for him. I would like to see eubank vs murata next.

You are aware that pbc isn’t a promoter....Vincent Feigenbutz who fought Caleb Plant on a PBC show is promoters by Sauerland. If anything changes it means that Eubank will get more fights in Germany and then can also fight the pbc champions and contenders as it appears pbc has a working relationship with sauerland. Haymon is a advisor/manager and he exists to get his clients more pay and to take home more of their money

Murata the Japanese WBA 'champion' is the weakest fighter (16-2) out there and that is who Jr. is hoping to fight. Jr. is a complete none starter who just looks for the easy route. I had high hopes for this kid a few years back but he thinks he's a star without actually doing anything. This talk of fighting the best is something that he doesn't deserve and really seems afraid of doing.

And Murata probably beats this headcase too. Gone through almost every promotional outfit, and had a 3 year span where he was his own trainer, but everything is always someone elses fault.

Eubank has been promoted by:

Mick Hennessy
Frank Warren
Matchroom
Richard Poxon
PBC
And now Sauerland.

What an eventful career.

And zero world titles.

It means that the Eubank's have pissed off so many people they need a middleman promoter to negotiate for them. He most likely ends up fighting on Matchroom cards

Looks like it's back to Europe then. Eubank Jr about to become sparring partner to Sauerlands next bunch of up and coming prospects. Or a huge fight against Sergio Martinez in the south of Spain.

So we're looking at Eubank vs Murata next? Not bad at all. Good fight!

I think Eubank vs Madiev for the vacant "Regular" is more likely. Sauerland just have to find someone to pay for it as noone with pursestrings will talk to the Eubank's directly.

PBC is a promoter masked as something else.

I like that one... I personally think Murata takes him apart but Chris does have a formidible engine so it ain't forgone by any means.
