Comments Thread For: Conor Benn plans eventual move back down to 147lbs

[brettWall]

Fight would not have been made without Turki. Eubank wanted too much money.

When Benn climbed up the ring to confront Eubank in Jr's post fight, Chris was glancing at Turki while facing Benn, "Come on Turki, this fight can't happen without your money. "

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.

The fact you think Slow Eddie is the best in the business says it all

Lmfao

Eddie did nothing. This sells because of their names and Eubank. Eubank has done all the self promoting for this, the slap the press conferences etc

I’d base it more on the fanatical UK fans more than anything else

Not only did I say he's the best in the business, I actually explained why. Name any promoter that could have got 65 thousand Englishmen and women to pay for this non title fight from two average fighters? BOOM

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

I didn't say fan. I said tan as in a black and tan.

Yes it is selling because of the names and casual audiences will turn up, Eubank has still helped promote this fight more than the rest of them. Eddie and Benn have not done too much selling instead have been getting embarrassed by Eubank. Also since Benn was a drug cheat he can't really say much lot of people don't like him which says a lot when you realise a lot of people did not like Eubank Jr but now want him to win this

The fact that Eddie couldn't get Benn any names to fight at welterweight is such a red flag
This reminds me of how he grima wormtongue'd Brook into fighting Golovkin.
What a disgrace.

It has nothing to do with Hearn
Actually really nothing to do with him
British fight fans go see any boxing show no matter a farce or not
And only that is why boxing is so successful and booming in the UK

In all reality it’s a farce
The fans attend anything boxing just like Germans will attend every metal show that they come by
Nothing wrong just calling a spade a spade
