The Benn move was never because he represents the best boxer or even a future world champion.

It's a message that they have unlimited funds.

It's a message that it doesn't matter who it is, nobody is off limits.

It's told every other boxer there's no need to be loyal, it's nothing as bad as what Benn has done.

It's the best move they could've made, outside taking AJ.

The floodgates are open.

So true.

Are Shakur, Ryan, Teo, Haney next?

None of them have/need loyalty now, so why not...

(Although Shakur is resistant to going to 147 right now and 140 isn't recognised by Zuffa - I'm sure an extra few mill will remove that barrier though)

Any clue what their current contracts look like?

"and insisted that Queensberry Promotions’ contracts with Tyson Fury, Hamzah Sheeraz and Agit Kabayel will safeguard them..."

No mention of Itauma...hmmmm

Warren told Hearns that Benn sucks and he will probably lose his next match and be dispose of.

Not sure about Teo, but Shakur, Haney are free agents. They just fighting under Ring cards now, so already with Turki.

Ryan Garcias last fight was last weekend with Golden Boy, but apparently they are fighting that because he had a year out suspended.

Guessing they can go Zuffa whenever Turki wants, but he gets to keep 100% if they are free.

You don't sign with that type of outfit (Zuffa) once you've truly made it and things are trending "upward"..

He’s not wrong. Conor benn as a 10 figure one fight investment is laughable. He lost to Eubanks jr already and even counting his rematch win over Eubanks he still doesn’t have an elite win on resume lol. Zuffa can have him and if he comes crawling back feed him to Bootsy or vergil
