Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Will Be Making a Major Play for Conor Benn Against Kell Brook

Any fight Eddie isn’t part of are “awful and past it” if Eddie can be involved in their fight then the guys still got a lot to give.Hearn needs to come up with around the same money for Brook as when he fought Khan and he said he didn't want to get involved with two finished fighters for 'the kind of money they are asking for' which makes little sense but Hearn doesn't often make sense. If Brook takes the fight it will be on his terms at 150lbs for around £4 m otherwise he'll probably consider Eubank Jr for the same amount at around 158lbs.....I'd like Brook to hammer the pair of deluded loud mouths but because of weight Benn would be the right option.
No promoter contradicts and manipulates an audience like Eddie does. The man knows his casual audience. He says it often.

If this fight happens, Dominic Ingle needs to make sure it is at 149 or above.
Good fight this, better than the Eubank Junior fight.
The catch weights would of devalued the Eubank Junior fight.Comment

“They’re both similar in terms of profile and stature. But Conor Benn is your weight.”
Not exactly! Brook weighed 148.3 for the Khan fight. Some might say, what's another 1.3lbs? A lot for a man who is 35 years old! I would advise Brook to ask for a catch weight of 150 for Benn, or 157 for Eubank Jr.!Comment

According to Ben Shalom on talksport right now, Brook wants to continue, murmers from khan team that he’s blaming jet lag and too short a training camp.
Hes also talking as though Kell would face Chris Eubank Jr at 155. Also claims Thurman and García have both enquired about Kell.Comment

Kell might take it, but not going to drain himself to 147lbs. If he said let's do it, he'll say a catch weight to 150lbs or rather to light middleweight 154lbs.
Brook's the man in terms of calling the shots for these British fights. Yes, Khan doesn't have it anymore, but Brook did what he had to and was impressive against his rival and a famous guy.Comment
