Sure Eddie, sure. We get it, you need a cash cow post Joshua regin and inability to make the Saudis pay for your rubbish fights

[Jab jab boom]

We all know this is bullshyt. Benn cheated, he shouldn’t be fighting but Hearn and his continued desire to maximize money off of mediocre Brits will trump any sense of morality.

you can bet any money if Benn was under Warrens promotional company Hearn would be demanding clarity and championing Matchroon believing in clean fighters

sadly for Hearn he already tried to stick a fighter who pissed hot in the ring with a drained Eubank just so he didn’t lose money

What nonsense…

Smith only has jurisdiction in the UK. That’s why he couldn’t stop Haye-Chisora as it was sanctioned by the LBF.

Hearn is full of it as always, not a fan of the BBBofC but they’re definitely the good guys in this scenario. Benn is simply exploiting a loophole to avoid taking responsibility for a banned substance being found in his system.

The ABC said, they don't have the jurisdiction to stop Benn from fighting. That implies, they would if they could. Eddy has no sanction, nobody is saying this is right.

eddie keeps saying eggie has been cleared, he has been Cleared to Box, not actually cleared and deemed innocent of charges, cleared to box because they cant even recoginse his failed tests it seems, noone can have faith in a process that clears serial cheat stumble bum after roids are found in him anyway, its just face saving exercises with everyone hoping it all goes away somehow

Matchroom USA takeover so mission accomplished that this PED cheat and even his Dad are completely unknown there. Ask who Nigel Benn is to 100 US casual sports fans and not one would know. This clown might as well be in witness protection going to the states

If he was cleared to box, this fight would be in the UK, where Benn sells tickets, not on an undercard in a state with a 'no questions asked' mentality.

So, we lamente casuals, but when it comes to an argument, they're in the back pocket for a statement.I couldn't give 2 shiny shytes about casuals, those who are a proper fan of boxing
know who Nigel Benn is.
