I heard Eubank on the radio the other week - apparently Benn wants to fight him again!

Mind watching that
an absolute epic.
A great Staurday night's entertainment live on ITV -it'd be SKY box Office these days and advertised for about 3 month before at £19.95.

was a big Eubanks fan growing up. Everything went t1ts up when Sky had that contract with him for 12 fights in 3 years or something stupid like that.

Benn was in the first jungle
and Eubank is in the current one.

There is the possibility their sons could fight. Both Benns were on Colin Murray's TalkSport show a few weeks back. It was brilliant listening.

I'm swithering on buying the Klitcho/Furey fight. Would love to see it but sweir to pay so much for the privilege. It's sure to be a massive anti-climax one way or another.....

last pay per view boxing match I ordered was Pacquiao vs Hatton. Was f cking gutted after that!

Booked the Slav v the pikey fight. Don't really care which one wins just so long as it's a decent scrap. Though I'm not too sure about that. There's been a mountain of hype already with more to follow all this week. I have a suspicion that Fury might have been better off following tradition and laying tarmac or dealing in scrap metal....

Well, I drew my pension and had to look twice and then think several times. But I don't drink and don't smoke, so convinced myself I could afford it. But you're right, they hype these bouts to high heavens and by the time they take place we are hooked. And as a former boxer I'm easily hooked anyway.
I subscribed to the TV channel "BoxNation" but in a very short space of time binned it. I objected to paying out good money to watch repeat after repeat of mainly obscure American fighters, although have to admit I was fair impressed by the ring girls!

One of my sons runs a pub in Wakefield and tells me he has to pay £175 to show the fight. He does expect to be packed out, though. I wonder how many pubs throughout the country are paying through the nose like that? Sky and Virgin making a fortune!
