Comments Thread For: Conor Benn To Explore His Options, Says Kell Brook is Demanding Large Sum

[thack]

We'll probably find Hearn doesn't really have that much confidence in Benn to pay a deserved amount of millions that Brook is rightfully requesting for his scalp. This equates to Hearn normal way of business with Benn getting the headlines and publicity without actually getting in the ring.

[just the facts]

at this stage in his career theres no pressure whatsoever on benn to rush things opposition wise. he is young and learning his craft.

Learning his craft? A couple months ago you claimed Conor was a problem for the welterweight division. Then you went on a rant about how fast he runs up a flight of stairs. Too funny........

Liam Smith at 154... at Wembly... PPV! Because Hearn will feed any crap to his people, and they'll eat it.

It just speaks to the business structure of the sport. What we have here, is a 50/50 fight, between two guys with names and other options. By other options, I mean, they both have 80/20 fights they could take for good money, so of course they’re going to ask for crazy amounts for a 50/50 fight. The mindset going into negotiations is, “I might lose this fight, so show me a number that makes me fall out of my chair or I’m moving on.”

I would like to see Benn fight Marco Antonio Barrera he’s still doing exhibitions around 147 and Benn looking for easy name fighters; so why not! My bag they can’t afford his a(sS) either!

Im sorry when did we all have a long nap and wake up and Conor benn has achieved it all? Him and hearn thinking benn is the A-side is ridiculously arrogant and brook should tell them to go do one if there low balling him.

They can always try to get Paulie out of retirement or Collazo. Heck knowing Eddie he'll offer the fight to Robert Guerrero or Devon Alexander

They already tried to make that fight

"Great ValUEEE" Eddie Hearn.

If Benn is fighting TBA in April, and he feels he could be ready for Kell Brook in June, TBA is TRASH, and they already know it!

"The Legend" Conor Benn is the b-side here lol. Everybody thinks they are a superstar these days.

Hahahaha hearn with more BS this dude is just so garbage using brooks name saying he’s demanding too much lmfao if Benn could beat him they’d take the fight in a heartbeat and give Brook what he’s asking it would put in the conversation with Terence Crawford/Porter/spence level potential if they could beat Brook convincingly even at this point in his career.
