It was an unnecessary novelty fight between two second rate boxers who have no chance of a sustained, legitimate reign at any weight class. Eubank fighting for an IBO bauble is about his level. As for Benn, if Hearn thought he was a serious 147 contender he'd match him accordingly. He knows he's not, hence this attempt to cash him out before he loses his value.

Since it's not for a title I had no problem with it – two Euro level fighters is still many, many levels above YouTube fights. We love a domestic dust up in the UK, and this would've been an intriguing fight. It is actually a bit of a shame we don't get to see one of them tuned up.

It’s really just a small notch above YouTubers fighting. 2 domestic level clowns simping off daddy’s name.

He sounds like a girl crying because a guy dumped her. Hearn publicly obsessed over this fight for more than a year, damaged his reputation with anybody who takes drug testing seriously, and it was all for nothing because he couldn't even get a deal done. Now he wants sympathy?

Come on Eddie. It was down to you to make this fight and you would if Benn had done the right thing all those months ago.

It’s pathetic Eubank may lose his license to fight him so make it worthwhile

[allen23]

Feck off Eddie you money hungry leech of a man. Benn shouldn't be stepping foot near a ring considering the substance found in his body.

This clown continously tries to make fights with known drug cheats and then get mad that it don't work out foh

[Mammoth]

I blame Benn's PED use. The fight would have already happened if it wasn't for the drugs.
