Anybody listen to the Chris Eubank interview on Radio 2 Tuesday midday. He's showing the full bout on his web site between himself and Michael Watson when Watson sustained brain damage and the debate was on the morals of showing it or not.
He and Watson are splitting all proceeds 50 /50 and there is not any promoter involved so they will share all takings on this so what is wrong with that.

Jeremy Vine leaned very much towards saying it is taking advantage of Watson even though Eubank made it clear that he is in full agreement and benefitting as much as he is.

A few callers had different opinions. All the women thought is shocking - they were probably driving home from the church coffee morning. Most men thought it ok and said good on him.

Me, if i get a spare hour i'll watch it and be pleased that the money is going to the correct place. I remember it well and it was a terriffic fight so why shouldn't they continue to benefit financially from it?

Chris Eubank was mortified when Michael Watson was so seriously hurt and it doesn't surprise me that he wants to do something that will benefit the both of them.

I say good luck to them both and I hope they get loads of money. I, for one, will log on and watch it. I do aslo remember it first time round and it was very upsetting. Michael Watson was a first class boxer. However, these guys know the dangers when they go into the ring and the people that try to condemn them for it obviously do not understand that they are free and willing to walk away if they want, at any time.

Good luck to them both.

As Eubank is almost skint he probably feels that this deal is going to get him out of shit street, but how long will the money from this last if he hasn't taken care of his previous earnings?

As to the boxing I agree boxers know the risks & are prepared to take them for the ?s some you win some you lose.

Let him show the fight if it's what they both want personally I won't be watching it.

If someone wants to watch it then its their choice. It would be different if Watson wasn't getting anything from it.
