    I'd much rather see Benn vs Ennis or Stanoic
    Nobody asking for those either
    Benn is getting is desperate since no one knows him on his American tour lol
    So you wouldn’t give Tank credit for this fight ?
    Let me ask you , why is Tank calling Benn out anyway ?

      If boxing was a sport first I'd agree with you. Thing is boxing is a business first so your value isn't necessarily based on how good or deserving you are of a big fight. Its based on how many asses for seats you bring, how many eyes on the screen you bring & how many dollars from fans for PPVs you bring. And Conor has solid upside as a potential next opp for that reason.

      Not to mention I think Eddie & Conor himself are looking to cashout with a big fight now with the lost time & seemingly declining power post-PED situation.

        I understand what your saying but do you really believe Benn has the potential to do what your insinuating
        H’s never really been a big draw or am I mistaken
        Then again anything sells well in the UK

          It's a Mayweather move. Back when people wanted Floyd to fight Paul Williams, he was talking about a DLH rematch at 54 or a fight with Winky Wright

          Either way, no one was asking for no DLH rematch

          This has Ellerbe and Co. written all over it

            Aren't tickets in the UK like $10 with free PPV? Where is all this money supposed to come from?

              That’s huge on your part knowing full well that your a Tank fan
              I totally agree that it don’t make much sense
              Unfortunately for Tank , he’s always been the guy who’s told what to do and what to say cause every time he’s done something on his own he’s had to cancel his tweet or own up to it
              I for one would not give him credit fighting Conor fughin Benn
              If he is going over the pond for a fight , I’m sure he can get someone much more worthy than Benn hence Haney who is sleeping with Slow Eddie

                And it's clearly not about the money. I'm sure the Saudi's will give him 50 mil or whatever he's asking for against Haney

                Its crazy because I think Tank stops Haney. I have no clue why he's ducking him

                  C’mon let’s be realistic ; this ain’t the first time or the last that Tank pulls a stunt like this one if he were to go through with it
                  One way I can’t blame him for the Haney fight cause he comes in weighing a super middleweight
                  But I can blame him for chit like this , him calling out Benn

                    Honestly idk that Conor needs to do much work vs Tank. I think UK fans will show up for Tank & more UK fans will show up cuz a UK bad mfers son is fighting him. UK audiences are definitely loyal to a fault one could argue.

                    And look I got near 0 interest in this fight & I hate how Team Tank moves business-wise 90% of the time, but I can't think of many Tank opp fights that do as good at the gate as this one. I'd rather see Teo, Shakur or Devin across the ring from Tank, but none of those guys are doing great numbers. Teo is always bragging about his sh^t & hes probably the biggest draw of those 3 but idk that hes bringing more fans than Conor in the UK.

                    This, like most sh^t Tank does, is business over the sport. And to some extent being objective, aka not a fan thinking about it, it makes sense. Can't eat or pay the bills with legacy as they say.

                      They’d probably show up in droves to see a UK guy beat Tank even if the chances would be slim
