    Does it?. Tank is a big star right? So he can sell the fight in the US. Also long as it's not on at an unreasonable time, Benn's fans would buy it too.

      Boots said he wasn't interested as it doesn't get him closer to a belt in an interview, Hearn discussed it with him. Benn/Ennis know each other well and get on apparently.

        So he is saying , he wants to put Benn in with a big marquee name who’s better than him but because the marquee name is much smaller he might stand a chance. .No wonder this bloke has self admittedly got no friends , arrogant bastards deserve each other , but nothing else.

          What fanbase? he's never even been on PPV his "fanbase" is essentially contingent on him fighting Eubank and living it up off their respective fathers legacies.

          Eddie is selling snake oil with this kid truth be told and if other fighters are buying it more fool them...

              I don't know. If he has fans, presumably they'll buy it. If he doesn't, there's no reason the fight needs to be in the UK.

                  Seriously? What a joke, last time I checked Davis doesn't fight at Welter, Benn is euro level at best to afraid to take on guys his own size because he knows he'll get blasted by anyone with a pulse at 147 or 154....

                    Well exactly, the people who are calling him out, they're banking on him being a star in the UK but there is no proof on concept.

                    Hence why Eddie is selling them a dud so he makes some money off Benn.

                    As his actual money spinner against Eubank has fell to bits and of course he's acting like he's a "wanted man" in America hoping the issues with UKAD fade from people's' memories...
