    I used a Zuffa to scrub the dry skin on the crack of my ass last night.

      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
      Eddie also said he loaned Richardson Hitchins money when the door on his car was falling off.

      On a serious note, Eddie didn't abandon the drug cheat when he could have. Con Man could have at least gone to him like a man and told him he was signing this deal.

        yes a phone call from conor to eddie explaining things might have gone a long way, that was a mistake not to do that

          I don't think Conor Benn is getting 15 million for this fight. Likely much much less.

          I think because it's technically a Gold Star show and not a Zuffa show, this won't count as a contracted "Zuffa" fight and that will later in the year vs they hope to be a bigger name for the big money "one fight deal".

          That's why Eddie keeps bringing up Mark Shaprio saying it was a Zuffa show on a conference call and "he can't lie about that so its a Zuffa show" despite the reality of it is it's a Gold Star show and I guess Zuffa have "allowed" Conor Benn to fight on it.

          Eddie has consistently referred to technicalities and shenanigans going on around this deal and said legal action will be taken and that's what I think he's referring to and why he keeps pushing this "he's getting paid 15 million to fight on an undercard" when he knows full well that's not true.

          This is all just guess work by me, but that's what I think's going on here. There is no way Conor is getting 15 million for this undercard fight, no way.

            that makes sense i think, hes probably getting a nice payday alrite in a very winnable fight for him on a big stage and i think back at 147 if i am right, i didnt think he would even make it back down there, fair play to conor he has navigated his road very well in the end and made the cash he wanted and more

              He's done well to make himself a lot of money, have to give him that.

                Young Benn is a horrible kid for what he’s done , who stood by him when the **** hit the fan ? Who protected
                his very limited ability with easy fights and who loaned him over £500,000 and helps him buy a house .
                say what you like about Hearn but matchroom have been known to treat their fighters like family . The boys an ungrateful little …..t
