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

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

It’s not gonna be Thurman.

[Hustle]

He's going to be saying Thurman's name right up to announcing Benn vs Julius Indongo or some similar bull****.

Thurman's promoter doesn't work with DAZN. Thurman's promoter doesn't send his guys to go fight on DAZN. Thurman isn't fighting on DAZN.

Hearn may as well be talking about Colby Covington (UFC) as Benn's next opponent.

Thurman doesn't have a promoter. Allegedly nobody at pbc does except tank. Thurman needs to stop being a puppet and secure his future. If hearn has 5 million. And haymon can't match it. He should take the benn fight. It's simple mathematics.

Haymon is a manager not a promoter and his job as manager is to get you the biggest purse possible.

But instead he advises his fighters to pass up bigger money just to stay with pbc. He advised charlo to turn down 7 million for 1 fight on dazn against Andrade only for him to turn around and fight for 1 million dollars on showtime. That's bad business

He advised broner to turn down a 5 fight ppv deal with roc nation worth a minimum of 40 million. Meanwhile cotto and ward took roc nation deals got paid and retired. Meanwhile broner still hasnt made the 40 million at pbc that he passed up. And now he can barely get on the schedule. Pbc dudes are just letting money slip by being caught up in the pbc ponzi scheme

Even at this stage of Thurman's career he'd beat the hell out of Benn.

Did this idiot just say Eubank jr. and young Benn is one of the biggest fights of all time or is it a misprint ....no one can be that ****** ...!
Edward is a complete tool.

Pbc fighters have fought on dazn before famously snickers man, but others like vargas, Devry, Garcia, jacobs etc etc. more pbc fighters have fought on dazn than matchroom/dazn fighters have fought on pbc

“I think it’s a sad moment in the sport if you can’t mention fighters that are outside of your stable,” Hearn told iFL TV,” Hearn said. “We should always be looking to fight the best, and Keith Thurman is one of the best 147-pounders in the world. I’ve spoken to Luis DeCubas, and I’ve mentioned to him that we would like to fight Keith Thurman.”

You can mention them all day, but at some point, you have to be able to make the fights your clients need and want! Good Luck with that! Would rather see Thurman fight Boots or Stanionis! Those should be easier to make! MAN UP!

If I was Thurman I'd rather take the high reward-lower risk fight in Benn

[Nash out]

After all the money Eddie Hearn has blown with Dazn, there is probably more money inside Nash's couch than Eddie has right now. Nash out.

Are you really this ******?

Hearn is name-dropping Thurman because PBC doesn’t work with him and the fight is not a possibility. He’s making it sound like, to the public and to Benn, that he’s on the verge of delivering a big fight.

He’s not. There is no fight in negotiation.

Hearn recently said Jose Ramirez was also in negotiation for Benn. He wasn’t. There was zero possibility Ramirez was moving up, let alone moving up and Top Rank sending him to DAZN.

This is marketing.

If Benn wants to fight the fighters in PBC stable - he’ll sign with PBC. If he wants to fight fighters in Top Ranks stable - he’ll sign with Top Rank. That’s reality.

[Liondw]

Thurman a safer choice than Ennis or Ortiz for Benn.

[Fist_ti_cuffs]

But doesn’t Virgil Ortiz fight for Dazn? Why chase your tail when the obvious fight is staring you in the face. Hearn is just name dropping as usual, and if Benn really wants to see his career take off he’ll leave Eddie and Matchroom as soon as his contract expires.
