Pretty poor of Hearn that this is also PPV. Not only have they gone back on the 'no PPV on DAZN' thing, but now they're setting the same old Sky threshold. I won't pay £10 for what to me is a stupid fight to make. Eubank continuing his total lack of ambition is a bit sad, frankly. This is a siding when it comes to a title run. He called out Alvarez for a title fight after the weekend, but this is hardly the sort of fight to take if he's serious about that. I'll read the result late that night.

Sad stuff. I'm not always a reliable barometer, but I'd be astonished if this sells much on PPV. I'll just look up the result late at night and I usually buy pretty much everything!Explains the angry outbursts by Conor Benn in most of his interviews clearly roid rage. Apparently Eubank jr stills wants to go ahead cus he does not want to miss out on the biggest paycheck of his career.
And promoters TV companies don’t wanna lose loads of money.
Given the circumstances hopefully Eubank jr is smart enough to insist the rehydration limit is removed in order for the fight to go ahead or better still the fight should be done at the full 160lb middleweight limit. No catch weight.
Here is the article in the Daily Mail.
