Might as well get their cut off the top. That was a publicity stunt that saved the show and it needs it. The circus is in town.

He saw a chance to land a blow to the head and did so with a poachers effort, scrambling the brain of Benn. Nash out - His Most Majestic Majesty

If, as has been suggested, Eubank Jr is getting a cut of the PPV revenue, this might well be one of the best business decisions he's ever made. Especially as it's a 2-fight deal and this manufactured rivalry now looks like a genuine beef, which translates into column inches, clicks and sales.

Seems like the commission tacitly approved of Eubanks' benn omelet because I would of thought that if they were as upset as they said they were (I believe their response was something along the lines of "we want to send a message to make sure this doesn't happen again") they would have fined him more than that considering he probably increased his take of the ppv sales by quite a bit but besides that his base salary b4 ppv wouldn't be less than 2mil and even at just that it's only %5 of his purse.

It's a good thing Eubank Jr didn't actually punch Benn. He might be in jail today!

100k for the carton of eggs and another 100k fine

It was all dairy until Eubanks turned it into a beef. Benn got egg on his face and everybody got the joke.

To an extent I am hoping this doesnt do good numbers. Otherwise, if it does well, it could encourage others to pull crap like this
