Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn Discusses The Boxing Future of Conor Benn

[War Room]

You can tell he's starting to turn a bit on Benn, detecting some passive nasty here.

[tkoboxingscene]

Hearn is a real prick

[LAchargers373]

Benns a bum off the juice he gonna revert back to his natural state. Hearn knows what’s up

[thack]

AJ has no belts... Conor is gone for a few years because of Peds ... Boxxer Sky and BT took all the UK popular fighters ... the chic fights are with espn/Sky ... Dazn has been an abysmal failure in the States and they have no fighters over here ... can someone please tell me what Hearn's next move is? It's over!

I don't think it is .There's still people here who are ****** enough to buy into shyte fights. Fury v Chisora , okay I part see the reason but stadium fight on PPV? .....It will sell out and the tickets will be expensive . Joshua against another nobody on Dazn .Whyte against a guy with not one noticeable name on his record. Joshua v Whyte 2 stadium fight PPV ....they are shyte fights and you'd be struggling to get a ticket for one if you tried.As much as I detest Eddie Hearn he's changed the market for boxing here with his 'sweet Caroline 'and his 'stadium fights' that are a regular no matter how average but the idiots get that pissed they hardly know what they are watching , I know I've been around these fools.With some at the end of the night standing with their backs to the ring just singing and wobbling to the main event. I'm not saying are all like that but there's enough to put you off going! Give me a night at the York Hall anytime.

Would not be shocked at all if hearn drops benn tbh an just gets out of dodge with this situation especially now he won't be able to fight in the UK for the foreseeable cus that was there plan to build bennn up as a ppv guy in the UK cus benn ain't gonna sell anywhere else really

Hearn fell on his arse when he was looking at still trying to get the fight over the line and then , just as he did that night Froch v Bute , when the idiot ran in the ring to celebrate before the fight was over , decided it was not 'the right look'. He is now saying Benn must defend his case before he has anything to do with him again , therefore looking to distance himself from this mess he in part created.....total wanker.
See you in court!

Has Hearn become the biggest turn off in boxing?
I can no longer read anything about his smoke & mirror's bullshido.
Test the B-sample.

I need someone to educate me.

He failed a VaDA test, right? VADA governs worldwide, not just UK. shouldn’t his failed test also affect his license in other countries as well?

Vada just test, they don't govern anywhere.
It's upto ukad (not fit for purpose) to investigate. Benn will be looking for the same loophole as Whyte.

Potentially similar defence but but different case to Whyte. Whyte popped with UKAD, who completely exonerated him on the grounds that the test had to be a contamination event given the UKAD and VADA tests he took around the same time.

If you consider complete exoneration based on scientific evidence a 'loophole' then I'm not sure how qualified you are to offer an opinion.

FFS "test the B sample".

It's the cry of the completely uninformed. You've been on a boxing forum for a while now; haven't you learnt that yet?

The B sample will be exactly the same.
