Latest boxing crack

I wonder if on reflection the UK boxing community will look back at Matchroom's time with Sky as the pinnacle of UK boxing popularity, a golden age? You need blockbuster fighters, an alchemy of talent & styles of course...it seems to have passed us now. Maybe wrong to link the good times (if you agree they existed) to Sky and Matchroom, but the time scale perhaps runs parallel.

Sky was the TV for the masses for the last 20 years, coinciding with great rivalries, generational fighters & barnstorming match ups.

Like or loathe them Sky bring a huge amount when it comes to promoting a fight
 

I think Eubank has been terrible recently. He doesn't seem to have much interest in achieving anything and rather is looking for a few big paydays before retiring. He could have some very entertaining, well matched fights if he reverted back to his old style and looked for the challenges around his level..

The brook call out was pretty pathetic imho.
Feels a lot like he knows he's never going to reach the top, so needs to extract the $$$ before its too late.
 
Got both cards on at the minute. Almost went to the Boxxer card, but didn't want to miss Dubois
