Comments Thread For: Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn Fight is Absolutely Huge, Says Hearn

[Phase III]

Hearn could care less Benn is a cheater. That tells you how desperate Matchroom is having pretty much lost their meal ticket in AJ who’s confidence must be in some pawn shop waiting to be reclaimed.

Translation- Hearn believes that despite the fact that these are two mediocre hype jobs living off of their father’s names, the British public is gullible enough to make it a major event.

They are though.

Trust me, nothing more ****** than British boxing fans. They’ll pay for any trash if it means they can get drunk and sing Oasis songs in a public venue.

Meh Benn ruined the hype for this fight obviously will still do good sales but not as big as it was imo

Anyone else think they may have paid Smith to take a dive so they could make Benn vs Eubanks?

Nonsense. Why would he be beaten to a pulp for nearly 12 rounds only to "take a dive" as you have speculated? He took a serious beating, was cut badly and was basically a punching bag for the bulk of the fight. On top of that, the ref stopped the fight because it hadn't been even remotely competitive since the first couple of rounds. Did you see what he looked like in the post fight press conference? That's not the face of someone who took a dive. He was systematically broken down and the ref had no other choice. They could've stopped it earlier actually. You'd have to be an idiot not to see what was happening.

Who paid massive money for Mayweather/McGregor? Who paid for old Holyfield vs that Belfort guy? Who paid for old Tyson vs old Jones? Sports fans in general can be pretty ******. Pro athletes in popular team sports are vastly overvalued and overpaid yet people continue to shell out money for tickets, garbage arena food and ridiculously priced merchandise so junior can walk around decked out in sports apparel thinking he's an athlete.

Before the first fight fell through I thought Benn was too small but might pull off the win because of his energy. After seeing Eubank this weekend I think Benn will Crush him.

Maybe Smith has too much pride to trash his own image. Lara stench still fills the air and now we get the wood vs Warrington super fight.

You cared enough to watch the post fight press conference? I shut that garbage off. You’d have to be an idiot to think Eubanks is good enough to systematically break down anyone. Smith was so bad it’s inexplicable, that much is clear.

I dont get why folks are hating on this fight. Eubank-Benn is an interesting matchup despite Benn’s drug history. He made a mistake a paid the price so who gives a sht. Why do Mosley and Roy get a pass and Benn dont?

Benn is an exciting fighter and he just needs to get it in that ring with Eubank.
