    It is confusing, hard to believe what is reported a one fight deal where they paid Benn 15M? How would they recover that and profit?
    I don't think Turki is interested in profit at the moment and more just throwing money around to secure fighters to Zuffa.

      Wouldn't Garcia have to be signed to Zuffa?
      Wasn't Hearn hanging around the fight? Unfortunately this is a good money fight with two popular fighters so they will find a way...

        Seemed to be.

        But Eddie Hearn says he has no interest in working with Benn? He's also heavily implied Zuffa have more options on him and he will taking legal action.

            Interested to see if Benn can even make 147

            He looked horrible weighing in at 149.5

            That extra 2.5 pounds will be hard to shed (without PEDs)

              He will definitely struggle to make 147.

              Even with the assistance of PEDs.

                why when there is a risk for Garcia losing to Haney, This is the best match for Garcia a six round club fighter who is not even world class

                  PEDs or no PEDs, he's beating the dogshit out of Benn.

                    Eddy has a finger in every pie, he wouldnt give a crippled crab a crutch. Much less let someone gain after he did all the work. Benn is his creation, nobody is getting paid without Eddy getting his cut.

                      It'll be refreshing to see Benn get trounced by a legit world class fighter after fighting a washed up Eubanks and low level guys his entire career.
