Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn Blames Chris Eubank Jr. for Failed Conor Benn Talks: 'It's Ego, ******ity, a Lack of Common Sense'

[Oldskoolg]

Young Edward is mad because matchroom lost a payday. That’s it, that’s all. The entitled Essex school boy showing all the signs of being a narcissist, not wanting to admit that the fight didn’t happen because of Benn’s drug use

[thack]

Benn has a massive question mark over him and is not cleared by the BBBOC and won't be until he puts forward his case , like everyone else has to, on their 'strict liability 'ruling. Jr. looked like death at 159 last time he tried to dry out . The ego , ******ity and common sense is all from Hearn , as this bastard for sure will end up getting someone killed!

[Butt stuff]

No issue with someone competing that failed a drug test?

If Eubank wants to fight him, then it’s his prerogative. I think a very large % of the top guys are doping. Fighters cry foul about another fighter doping and then sign to fight them.

Think of all the top level athletes that have been caught, admitted to doping without being caught, or even were exposed for a litany of TUEs.

If track and field athletes (who most don’t earn anywhere near as much as the top boxers) are doping out of their minds - then you can imagine boxers with millions on the line, and the threat of getting brain damage from a doped up fighter, is going to take gear.

There’ll be a huge exposé over the next couple of decades covering how many athletes cheat chemically.

Edit: I also think Eubank Jr is suspect of that too btw.

Yeah, it's the CLEAN fighters fault


Eubank did you a favor, Eddie. Now you don't have to have this fight happen on an offshore oil well.

It would have happened in the UK were it to happen, so not really.

Got to blame Connor Benn for taking steroids before the first scheduled fight for the fight not happening.

[Smash]

i think eddie is talking about eggie in this article

[Boxing2695]

Well if it's the biggest fight in Britain then surely it's gonna be close to the million buys? Eddie says all this promoter talk which is what he does as a promoter but hes just basically admitted he's not confident that the fight is as big as he thinks it is. It's always been a novelty fight anyway. Who really gives a **** really about it why can't these guys just fight the contenders or champions in there weight class. Because both aren't as good as they think they are so there looking to cash out by fighting eachother before there stock goes down even more losing to the quality fighters in rhere respected divisons

Clomid isn't a steroid but your point stands.

Two failed tests, hard to blame the other guy.

But it seems this time round it is Eubank's fault.

Who cares though? I have no interest in the fight any way myself.

so eddie blames eubank, eubank blames benn & benn blames everybody but himself, nice

Agreed to almost all you said, but just because you likely rightly suspect most boxers are on something doesn't make it right to just throw out the rulebook once someone gets caught. In essence sport is supposed to be about fairness in competition and if we can't accept someone needs to v
be reprimanded once caught thats a problem.

if a trsck and field athlete gets caught they get banned simple, boxing as corrupt as it is should be no different. This tainted supplement excuse has to stop for these masking drugs the science doesn't lie
