Comments Thread For: Hearn: Kell Brook Wants 10 Million To Face Conor Benn

[SugarDeanC*ntly]

Don't know why people are having a pop at brook. Coming off an extremely big win that was big business in the UK. If Benn wants to continue fighting has beens, at least this one is hot property in the UK at the moment. If he wants what he thinks is an 'easy' big name win, cough up.

After chucking Brooke under a bus to save his card to get broken by ggg & on the wave he's on for a short time, pay the man.
Oh yeah but Benn is on the shot past it Rematchroom diet.
Eddie alway's blocking fight's the people want with money.

I don’t quite understand what all the hate is about. Kell’s had his retirement fight, made a nice pot of money and doesn’t need the cash. Puts in a crazy offer to fight a young gun and gets that offer turned down as you’d expect. £10 million is an utterly mental amount of money to fight anyone. He didn’t get anything close to that for fighting Crawford who’s arguably P4P number 1. Why on earth would any promoter pay Kell £10 mill for fighting anyone?? No disrespect to Kell but realistically I doubt he expected Hearn to accept the offer and doubt very much he’ll ever fight again now. If he wanted to he wouldn’t be asking for £10 million.

He’s had a tough stretch for sure. Lost a few purse bids & couldn’t deliver the big fight. Warren is in a great HW position. With Fury WBC champ, WBO #1 Joyce & WBA#1 Dubois. If Joshua & Whyte lose he will be in the back seat for awhile.

Warren always finds a way to survive, he’s looked dead a buried several times but somehow manages to claw his way back.

Eddie has always been protected by Sky, the move to DAZN has exposed him. This is the first time he’s had to scratch and claw to stay relevant in the world of boxing. I’m not sure how long he lasts.

Hearn again making negotiations public to take attention of his own failings. He's trying to do Benn-Khan after how bad Khan looked? Hearn said Brook-Khan wasn't worth watching and both were shot, but he wants Benn to fights both and will complain about fans who don't give a ton of credit for it.

I accept that all promoters are liars and all look for low risk high reward fights. But this guy is the worst for it because he does these long daily interviews with handpicked youtubers where he just talks shite and sucks himself off. Haney and Andrade are leaving this guy as he couldn't do his job well enough, so now it's back to selling UK fans a cherry picking prospect vs a corpse. Hearn was saying 'I'm gonna take over the US market with my warchest of cash' not long ago, he went back to domestic level British fights pretty quickly.

Eddie is now back where he started. Joshua is like his modern day audley Harrison

I forgot all about that time Saudi and the rest of the world's biggest sporting venues were putting 9-figure proposals to Audley Harrison for the Danny Williams rematch...

7.5m final offer since it obvious paying for benn to get a big name on resume and an offical change of reign for the uk at welterweights. Take that then retire though amir a free check. Tell hearm 16m total deal to rematch amir and then fight benn after

[BodyBagz]

Sounds about right.
Anyone who isn't Khan is putting himself in grave danger.

[Ragga1]

I hope Kell gets a decent payday if he decides to fight again.

never hurts to ask............
