According to the reports, Chris Eubank Jr. has been fined with £ 100,000 ($ 129,500) for hitting Conor Benn with an egg during his entertaining press conference on February 25, in Manchester, England.
PPV arises
That fine is obviously a fall in the pocket to the dough that Eubank Jr. will fight with Benn (23-0, 14 kos). It will not hurt your pocket too bad because the incident will pump PPV purchases, which will be worth more money than would have earned before. You hate saying it, but this worked well for Eubank Jr. and Benn. It is a pity that you have done this at the first press conference instead of the last or weighing.
During his confrontation, Eubank Jr. Silly threw a raw egg still in the peel of his pocket and applauded Benn, 28, with him, sending the yolk flying and covering Conor’s face. This encouraged the press conference and created a lot of press for its medium weight fight on April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Tottenham, England.
The attention that this incident brought to the Eubank JR-Benn event is incalculable, since there is now much more interest than before. You have to thank Chris Jr. for that. Before that, fans have just seen this as a British scrap between two limited talent combatants that does not go anywhere in the sport. Now, fans want to see them fight, that’s positive for promotion.
The next Eubank Jr movement
It will be interesting to if Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 ko) can maintain the impulse with the other press conferences and media events because he is doing this on his own. He is the show. Chris Jr. was talking about circles around Benn, making him look mentally overcome during the event.
Benn is a kind of third wheelAn unnecessary person in the promotion because he cannot participate in an entertaining discussion. His Manchester press conference involved Eubank Jr. and the promoter Eddie Hearn going and coming because Benn could not continue with anything. It was just a body in the chair. It will be reduced to Eubank Jr. and Eddie Hearn to maintain interest for the April 26 fight. To maintain interest, they simply Boscan in Benn and focus on the rivalry of Eubank Jr-Hearn.
