Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn expects both Chris Eubank Jnr and Conor Benn to get booed in London

[Pulmonary Embolii]

one of them will be screaming i want a rematch after & the other will pretend not to be interested and eddie will be cackling away

This is what I dread and also what makes me cynical. They not only talk about a rematch but have already identified Manchester United's ground as the venue. I wondered to myself "who is going to pay for the rematch after Eubank Jnr splatters Benn all over the canvas?". After all, he looks twice the size of his opponent. Then it occurred to me that this fight could be more rehearsed than a WWE bout. To make it look like a debatable outcome, there will be lots of hugging, back pedalling, laying on the ropes and nonstop peek-a-boo poses. All they need is a ref who will let them hug and kiss all night long, just so long as they keep their shorts on. And then, hey presto, cards that can be called controversial. Followed by a 10 month promotional campaign that no one can get away from. I might throw myself off the balcony.
