Benn fails drug test

That surely means there are two fails

 

Also means they made the Eubank fight fully aware of the fact Benn had gear in his system?

Who ever said maybe this was just a big cash out for Benn and Matchroom, that theory looks strong now.

when did the van heerden fight take place

 

Good to hear Simon Jordan digging out Kugan Cassius on Talksport this morning.

Apparently Kugan the Princess was upset on Saturday night when Jordan questioned his crap interview with Hearn.

How the **** did he expect him too look?

 

Be surprised if this fight ever happens. The credibility both of the weight and Benn's testing saga is shot to bits.

 

A lot of the money on the table but yeah even still, I'm doubtful it ever comes off now.

The whole point of Eubank coming down was to help negate the big jump up from Benn... but we all seen the picture of him at 157 along, the negative reaction to the rehydration clause and Nigel's recent comments which basically means the fight would have to happen at 160. So disadvantage then all lies with Benn..... which I can't see his team taking.

 

I think it's 60%-40% in favor of it going ahead Jan or probably Feb as it's a big fight with massive public interest which would sell very well- and which I would argue DAZN and Matchroom need, some would say desperately need. I think it would only not go ahead if Conor gets a long ban.

What we can say for sure is that 157 lbs is dead in the water as Eubank now has massive bargaining power regardless of what 'findings' or defence Benn brings forwards. I think it will be 160 lbs, with a more generous rehydration clause (but still with some limit).

So Eubank will have a lot more weight to play with.

One thing I am confident of is that Benn is just in it for the money and deep down his team know his limitations and know this fight represents not only his best but perhaps his only chance of this sort of money. There will be some posturing and some resistance but no way does Benn and team Benn walk away from 3 million GBP.

Remember Benn unlike Eubank Jnr has never been in a PPV fight in his life, never even been in a big fight either. He's getting paid well but only in the context of how poor his opponents are. His purses are still very much in the 6, not 7 figure range, he's never had the pay day's Eubank Jnr has had e.g. Yildirim/Groves/De Gale Fights.

He will take the fight at 160 if it is there on the table!

 

In the photo, Chris Eubank Jr. looks like a prisoner from a concentration camp in World War II.

Terrible.

Let's all hope the fight never materializes.

 

Exactly what I was thinking. 157 is no longer credible and you're basically into trading which puts Benn back at a disadvantage (whether he did actually use PEDs or not). Suspect Benn will slink off and have his legal concerns whilst Eubank fights someone else.

 

He’s possibly permanently damaged his organs now for nothing.

Jr’s own fault though for being greedy and not listening to dad.

Nigel Benn is an idiot.
