[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Eddie Hearn says the determination to axe the scandal-laden Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn 157-pound catchweight fight came directly from him and his partners.

"There is a perception that Eubank-Benn—which was to be delivered via DAZN pay-per-view—would have proceeded apace had the Daily Mail not published its findings, as Benn’s adverse drug results were reportedly known to all relevant parties for at least two weeks. "

This is the nearest thing to the truth were going to hear. The rest is Hearn bs and damage limitation.

VERY difficult to want to read any article that is about what a promoter said. Tangled webs of lies and there is no reason to believe anything that any of them say.

The next time Hearn tells the truth will be the first time.

Seen a pic of Eubanks just before the fight the weight cut drained him all Benn had to do was stay off Drugs. Somebody was gonna seriously hurt like Watson. Matchroom Boxing should lose their deal with Dazn which corporate company wants to be involved in shady business

A paper exposing what they were hiding, influenced their decision to stop trying to hide it.

No sht sherlock.

Hearn came out at first stating he didn’t understand why the fight was off and now this
Talk about ratting yourself out
Maybe he needs a really good PR guy in his corner

If the Daily Mail hadn't reported the story then I'm sure the fight would have gone on as if nothing happened.

This is really a very serious situation. A fighter campaigning at super middleweight has to drain 11 lbs more than normal, his opponent gains 10, uses ped’s to do it, and as of late his been destroying fighters with power that seems to have come out of nowhere, that fighter pisses hot and it’s covered up until journalists find out and report it, the boxing commission says “nope” because they now look corrupt and inept, pull the plug, and the two promoters STILL want to go ahead with the fight….one of those promoters has coloured himself the enemy of peds, has claimed ped users should be banned, yet fighter after fighter he’s worked with has pissed hot, and that same promoter tried to go ahead with this fight.
if Hearn hadn’t exposed himself for the smarmy slime ball that he is what more does he have to do? Dazn needs to cut ties with this crook

The a**holes knew for at least 2 weeks about the test and did nothing, Pure slime, Hearn I will not believe anything you say, you ruined the Tyson vs Joshua fight, and now you are playing with the safety of peoples lives.
