Comments Thread For: Hearn Says Thurman, Not Eubank, Is Top Target for Benn: We've Got The Money

[Rodtang]

I'm not hating on Benn, just analyzing his development. Granados out boxed him, Algeri was out of his depth, and just because Boots KOd Vanjeerden doesn't mean Van was some sort of litmus test for Benn. Thurman is a step up, but frail, he lumps up easy. If Benn gets home town license, he might maul Keith.

Granados outboxed him lol?. I stopped reading there, as the fits of laughter took over. You have no clue lol.

There's no way Thurman is unaware of what is happening. If he is not making his feelings or views known through social media, then it just means he wants no part of Benn.

The whole pbc are promotional free agents.

Al Haymon isn't a promoter

Technically no. But he has a collection of promotional companies that he deals with to supply content for showtime. So if your signed to one of those promoter's ( TGB, Sampson and Mayweather are a few) then your under Haymons control, because he has the say on who gets the network time. So they won't go against Haymon or they will have no network access. So he basically has them over a Barrel. It all goes through him. Unlike at Dazn where both GBP and Matchroom provide content but are completely separate en****** that control their own ship. I'm not sure who Thurman is promoted by. But if he chooses to go fight on Dazn, against Haymons wishes, he'll never fight on Showtime again. I guess he won't be ready to give that up.

Benn is fighting gatekeepers and fringe guys just like Boots and Ortiz jr. do, so Thurman would be a huge step up, but I doubt it happens.

Thurman ready to retire anyway. Showtime offering him a boots ppv and he ducking that. So go make Eddie overpay.

The hell with haymon. He only letting his top guys fight once per year anyway

Is that so? Since you've got Spence in your avatar, ask yourself what Spence meant when he told Bud he was on the road side of the tracks.

Who is errol spence promoter smart guy? Exactly..he doesn't have one. He is his own promoter. Man down promotions

He meant bud has a promoter in Top rank.

Bud got rid of top rank and now we have a fight. No promoters in the way.

Ennis didn't KO no Van Heerden brotha. Fight got stopped after Heerden suffered a cut from an accidental head clash. No decision was made.

Ennis, Benn, Ortiz are in the same "heavily-hyped fighters" category. They have no plan of fighting one another. But they have one thing in common. They fight nobodies.

If Granados was English and Benn American, they would have given it to Granados.

All these kids bitching about the fight not going to be made because Haymon won’t let Thurman go to the deadzone don’t seem to have that same energy about Benn having to go to pbc…entitlement 101
