    He just built a 10 bed house near the beach in Oz. Guy is loaded.

    Not everything is about money.

    The bit that concerned me was at the press conference all this stuff was said about how fit he is, but he said himself he doesn't know if he can still take a shot & won't know until he spars...

    The fight is only about PPV Pie - he has no other objective in boxthing.

    He has been watching a plethora of puddings become multi millionaires including Pudding Whyte, Pudding Chisora, Pudding Parker, Pudding Toe etc - even KSI v Logan Paul having two huge helpings.

    He wants a slice and there is nothing else to this 'fight'.

    The PPV mugths will be lining up for a huge poking on the Fraud v Pac and Toe v Bellew richter scale.

    Oh man, just the other day at work I called that out in a meeting and demanded an explanation as to what they actually meant!

    Benn is done, this is stupid, Benn, for all his success, can be stupid.

    Rumors going around that Naz is only eating 1 KFC bargain bucket per day rather than his usual 2, comeback on the cards ?

    That's what really worries me about this, I'm not concerned about Nigel's fitness, technique or punch power he'll probably still be decent in that regard but the image I can't get out of my head are his legs and senses going under the first solid shot he takes and being pummeled against the ropes before the ref jumps in.

    I mean, he wasn’t renowned for his chin back in the day (though I think that was harsh...was more down to the fact when he did get hit his own momentum was carried into the punch).

    Does anyone reckon the fix could be on? Tinpot organisation, showcase fight, wouldn't be the most bizarre occurrence in the world?

    There's a reason he retired, there's a reason he hasn't fought in 23 years.

    Heard he was looking for a PPV appearance to recoup the huge bet he lost on Chris Eubanks Jnr to beat George Groves - he is still seething with rage.

    Still remember his fight with Collins when the crowd booed him for faking a twisted ankle when it did look like he was looking for a way out - he did look spent all those years ago after a hard career.

    All this talk of closure and that it isn't for financial reasons my left nut, so I suppose all the PPV revenue is going to be donated to some local harvest festival is it!!!
