Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn claims Eubank Jnr-Benn is the 'biggest fight in British boxing'

[DougalDylan]

" Forbes ranked Matchroom Boxing as the fifth most valuable combat sports promotion in the world" at 850 million I think he's fine ;-) they do a lot of other sports as well. As its a UK company they have to file their accounts every year so all the journalists usually look around the accounts. Top Rank , PBC, Golden Boy etc not so well.

Remember the Matchroom covid shows in the garden behind Eddie's house?
Now THAT place looks like a palace. Imagine the expenses needed to keep an estate like that maintained.
Eddie has to scramble and hype everything to keep the cash flow positive, I'm thinking.

At that valuation I reckon so, thanks

WHY??? Am I missing something? Why do we keep reading about this fight? I care so little about this and I absolutely love boxing.

A lot of UK fights I'd rather see:
- Any combo of Dubois/Fury/Joshua/Itauma at HW
- Buatsi/Yarde at LHW
- Sheeraz/Eubank Jr at MW
- Cacace/Wood at JLW

I would agree, but I don't want to see any more of Fury and Joshua. They're both done and Tyson Fury will turn his retirement into a pantomime all the way till Christmas. I really only want to see Dubois in with Usyk again rather than an all British affair. Mainly so Usyk can shut Daniel's huge flapping gob and make Warren cry at the same time. Dubois is still whining about being caught putting a kokshot in and then having no defence when Oleksandr hit back, getting stopped by what I swear was a jab. I'd like to see Hamzah Sheeraz turn Chris Eubank's face into mashed potato but he seems to have bigger and tougher targets. Right, I must stop talking angrily, time for a whisky.

What a sad pathetic state of affairs. Nepotism. Take the last names away and these clowns are running a fish & chips van

[BirdSong]

there is something a bit disturbing about a clown like conor benn getting a big pay day from the saudis for basically doing nothing on top of most likely cheating to where he did get toooooo lol what a sport it is

Edward lives in a world of his own , the problem is there's enough losers in that world to believe him .This is an 'event' for the causals who will think they are witnessing the great battles of their fathers 30 years ago , they are not , just two under achieving opportunist with very little substance .I'm excited for the real card in Feb. not this shyte.

That is why it is the biggest commercially because the names will attract the big casual audience as well as elder generation who watched their dads fight (Fury AJ aside), Fury Dubois is not bigger. This is a mismatch just like Canelo Bud. It will sell well though and they'll both be able to talk s***t to sell it.

If this is the biggest fight in British boxing, then British boxing is in a sad state of affairs.

Running it? Somebody else would be running it. These jesters would be on the fryers, getting hot grease splattered on their hands and forearms!
