      For somebody who says he's not bothered about what others say and think he's talking too much. I do agree with his reasoning though. Hearn only stuck with him because he knew how much money he could make from 2 Eubank/Benn fights, not out of the goodness of his heart.

        'I’m a bit disappointed on a friendship level...'

        So he says they are his friends... But couldn't even speak to them...?

        Dude was suicidal and backs Eddie particularly as someone who helped lift him out of that.

        Nobody is saying don't take the deal, it is a no-brainer if true... But nope, friends who are there for you in times like that are as important as family imo. Treat them good.

        Conor never does himself any favours.

            if conor is getting that cash then eddie should just keep his gob closed its a total no brainer to take that, 1 fight deal as well which is very odd too for that opponent and cash figure

            and then this thing about the loan of cash, he either did or didnt get the cash from eddie, very bizarre stuff

            no reason to fall out over this and every reason to think they could work well again in the future, silly spat immature stuff from eddie hearn but not surprised hes very petty at times

              I know it's mental. Is this really the fight they're paying £15m for? Saying all that I am intrigued to see how he gets on

                  its a reasonable fight, i have to hand it to conor i really dont know, i mean he gets drained eubank x2 then this eye watering fee for a well past it opponent who barely even has a name left, all after testing positive for cheating, the dude has boxing done eazy mode fair play to him and his pops of course who passed on his name to him

                    Prograis is a 37 year old dish rag at this point. If another promoter is dumb enough to pay Con Man Benn $15M for basically a walkover undercard fight, Eddie should just sit back and laugh.
