Eubank leaves Matchroom

Interesting read confirmed by Barry earlier.

Thoughts?

Jesus, Blackwell is going to earn more than £120k for a poxy Brit title defence?!!!?!!

Yeh it makes no sense. Thought Eubank switching to Sky and hearn would have been a good move for his career.

Clearly he thinks otherwise I suppose.

Weren't figures of £100k being bandied around for Price-Fury back in the day??

Seems like crazy money.

Jr needs to get a big win under his belt to pep up his marketability if he wants his earnings/success to even come close to his dad's.

Fear not, the winner of Saunders and Lee will demand that Eubank have an eliminator with GGG for the right to fight them and boxing will make sense again

Dear Lord. Eubank Sr. back to mismanaging his son's career. Madness

i would have thought he'd be happy to ignore the british title route as he's a mandatory for world belt and will eventually fight for a world title if he keeps winning.

that said, with that money on the table it'd be hard to turn down.

he could always go back with matchroom. it's a business after all and makes sense on both sides to link up wit each other if it makes profit.

All this drama is nonsense. Junior may as well go to America. See what uncle Al can do for him. Big paydays for terrible fights.

Bad move again from eubank team

Surely he means the purse bid was 120k for them both not just Blackwell?

But yea strange decision
Promoters lose purse bids now and then it happens not gonna win them all

I didnt think Eubank was that interested in the british title, i thought he would go the euro route before taking on Jacobs. Sr really is ruining his son's chances

Looks like his dad sees chinks in his sons armour. Rather than face Jacobs or GGG he's put the brakes on. Good decision.

Silly move by the Eubank camp looks like Jr is being ill advised by his father, don't be surprised if they have to go back to Hearn cap in hand in the future.

Not seen him since the Saunders fight but he'll have to have seriously improved to make any mark at world level. Always looks to me that he has to load up on every shot for it to have any impact at all.

They're using a technicality to get out of a contract... You'd normally only do that if you had something up your sleeve. Maybe he'll be al haymons's latest baby and get a big fat cheque for fighting Jacobs.

Or maybe there's no plan and 'English' has lost the plot again... If he ever had a plot.
