Comments Thread For: Hearn Says Conor Benn's Next Fight Almost Finalized, Insists It 'Will Not Be In Britain'

[MulaKO]

I though Slow Eddie was pissed with Benn
Oh right , Slow Eddie IS a bullchitter
All about the money , he don’t give two fughs about the sport let alone the doping

[P4Pdunny]

sounds like it may be against Pac, but what does potentially beating Manny do at this point? He is going to be 45 before the year is done.

[ShoulderRoll]

Let's pray he doesn't get a license from anyone until he meets with the BBBoC

He shouldn’t be allowed to fight anywhere until the BBBoC hands down a ruling on his doping.

[Tonyu]

I don't know if it's possible but BBBofC should ban Hearn from promoting any licenced fighters who the Board had licensed if he promotes Connor in any fights until his been cleared in a hearing.

The arogance of Hearn and Benn alone is sickening , Benn said he's not prepared to show the board his 270 page report and that they can 'go and do one' (obviously nothing to show -WBC could only come up with the 'egg' story after reading it) and Hearn said he's 'had enough of this now and it's time to move on , for Benn to fight'....this pair of reprobates are clearly brining the sport in to distribute and if the BBBOC have any clout or want to show they are relevant they must act on this and give Benn a ban in his absence and suspend Hearn for promoting in this country whilst he continues to support a fight whose been caught twice and refuses to put his case forward to the board and instead intends to sue them ! Nice one Eddie I always knew who you were!...and Benn should 'DO ONE'!

Manny in Manila?

I assume you mean disrepute.

In theory what you suggest is probably morally right. I suspect it's a bit diffult in practice, unless the BBBoC wants in future to have to legislate every possible thing someone involved in boxing might have done in the past outside of their jurisdiction (I'm referring to the body suspending Hearn for promoting Benn in a fight outside Britain). I don't think such a stance is practicable... and would likely result in lawsuit from Hearn that the BBBoC would struggle to fight.

The way things are, it is hard to see how Benn might be getting a licence to box in Britain for the foreseeable future (if at all).

None of it is a good look for Hearn and probably the best thing is for fans to hold him to account for this. Make noise about it on social media that he is promoting a drugs cheat on foreign soil to avoid domestic regulators. Let everyone know that it is not going unseen and nothing is forgotten. And vote with your wallets.

His opponent will be Pac. They will decide who is better PED expert.

I favour Benn by late TKO. Even PED bath can't make him younger.
