The Chlamydia Kid Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm a big Eubank Junior fan but even that's too high. £4.99. Should be free to air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargsTON Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Should be free to air. Goes without saying. I heard Eubank Snr claiming it'd draw more viewers than Coronation Street! [emoji23] -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 8th of April at the Hydro. Undercard better be good. Seems like an overly dangerous fight with very little in terms of reward. Paulie would've been far less risk and would've done more to raise his profile. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they met in a car park in Kent to exchange a brown paper envelope but there'll have been something going on behind the scenes there. Mentioning Pacquiaos name alongside as pish a 140 as Burns isn't a good look whatsoever for Roach so there'll be a reason why and we see it time and again with Hearn that he mentions his effectively domestic level guys in with the elite before serving up yet another fight that nobody really cares about.

We'll never hear the end of it if Burns has 2 belts in that division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"World Champion" and "Double belt holder" mean exactly the same thing to your AJ loving fan who goes along for a sing song and a piss up before the Alan Hansen. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is extra marketing leverage to promote to casuals though. Everybody understands the difference between one and two and I'm sure it won't be long until we start hearing all the unifying the division pish as though he's a lighter version of Golovkin. It's actually remarkable what Hearn has done with Burns post Beltran there's no doubt about his ability as a businessman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying re the hype machine - maybe we have a different definition of casual boxing fans.

Fraser Fyvie Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Burns by robbery. Would be good to see him get a big payday against Crawford for all of the belts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) A Burns victory against Indongo and Crawford rematch (another very high level HBO fighter like Pacquiao) looks like the plan right now. Hearn could market that endlessly/HBO can serve it up as being an ok match up because of Roach's comment this weekend and then Burns gets cashed out against Crawford who will ruin him and everybody gets a nice paycheque.

I think I get back from my holiday that morning. Just seen this notification, been a long day working. As a couple of people posting on a Scottish football website, it's not our individual definition of a casual fan that's important, more an understanding of how the promoters see the casual fan and how they can be manipulated to part with as much cash as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the same way he "ruined him", last time out by decision? Yes, it was clear, but Burns was in the final throws of his bout with Warren in the courts. Which DID "ruin him". http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/30045000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
