"...rather than trying to match their strength or size, I use what I’ve got.” What is it that he has exactly? His best win is Algieri.. in his last fight before retiring.

how can an average fighter get so many lines wrote about him? I am no eubank fan but who he gets rid of him quick dread to think what Hearn would be like the weeks after the fight if Benn won. I am from England but 100% will not be buying this shyte.

If you're a tan then you should absolutely know why this fight is getting so much print and interest. 65 thousand sell out in Tottenham answers your own bloody question. Don't buy it if you don't like it.

He hasn’t actually left WW. He’s still a WW. Just doesn’t have to make weight this time.

Regardless of whether either of these two are any good or in Benn case , will be any good. We know eubank at 36 is pretty much cashing out on this fight. Anyway my point is Shakur, Teo, Haney, Bud and many more top stateside fighters must be screaming at their managers and promoters at how the **** are these two getting £10 million pounds and stateside fighters get 20 percent of that. I can just picture Teo crying.lol. You got to give it to Eddie, he just sold 65 thousand seats for a non title fight in England. The best in the business by far when it comes to promoting. If the rematch happens with these two it's conceivable that both Benn and eubanks will trouser 15 or 18 million pounds each. That's crazy.

Not just 147, he can forget about his career after this. And it's all bcs of Hearn's addiction to money.
This fight would've been on the table for at least the next 3 years, but Hearn wanted money now and here.
And he's too small for 154. So what's left? Fighting guys like Brook and Liam Smith? That's not a career.

obviously i am a fan of over 60 years in and out of boxing ring , why all the anger over a comment that i dont think Benn should be getting all this attention? As said wont be buying it that dont mean i knock people who do. Hope you calm down in time to to enjoy the fight

Not really, this fight would have sold whoever was promoting it because of the names and history.
