I enjoyed reading that. Though I would point out that it relies too much on the testimony of one, Victor Conte, and expects the reader to believe that he is at the very least a reformed character that can now be taken at his word. Whereas reading between the lines, Conte comes across as a sometimes hired hitter sometimes hired fixer. So, whilst I can completely believe that Hearn is dodgy as ****, I can also see that a story is being shaped (very expertly).
So - let me gets this right, Benn has been cleared to fight again, but he's not actually been cleared of taking PEDs. He's possibly been cleared by the UK's National Anti-Doping Panel just on a technicality around 'jurisdiction'.....and yet he once again goes on Social Media and gives it the old Bertie Big bollocks about being innocent and cleared. What a turd. ....and yes, I hope UKAD appeal the decision.
It's crystal clear now that what many people on here predicted has come to pass. UKAD simply don't have the resources to challenge Benn and the Matchroom machine. Hearn mentioned they have spent hundreds of thousands on scientists to come up with all these incredible claims and the only way UKAD will be able to counter them is by spending money they won't have. I'm sure they just want to call bull**** but would then be at risk of being sued.. again money they don't have. It's a truly horrible precedent and a sad time for boxing.
Given the BBBofC & UKAD are either corrupt, completely incompetent, or both, and the fans have neither the wit or willpower to stop buying tickets & PPVs to watch these scummy PED cheats box, I suggest the fans simply start a chant whenever they see Conor Benn out in public; "TWO-FAILED-TESTS!, TWO-FAILED-TESTS!" It may sound a bit cringey, juvenile, and even tantamount to bullying, but it may be effective.
I don't understand where Benn gets the money from. Nigel ain't that caked. Eddie must have paid Benn through the roof for his fights.
Post covid, i think his bank balance in his company went upto about 300k. I posted about it on here about 1000 pages back. Either Eddie has paid him really well for the few fights he's had post covid or he's advancing him money. But then he'd be extremely thick to go out and buy rolls royces, porsches, first class tickets to dubai and a nice big country house with that advanced money? Then again he's not the brightest is he. Dopey prik. That's what Broner did with Al Haymon. Al Haymon kept on advancing him money and come fight night, he probably barely had anything after paying back the advances. Now he's got absolutely nothing. Come to think of it, it is a nice way of tying down a fighter. If you've advanced them money, you cant go anywhere without paying that money back. Promotors like Eddie Hearn have plenty of money in the bank so can afford to do this. Dumb fighters are the ones who lose out thinking their paycheck will always be more than the loans.
I know he bought houses to rent, but he must be pretty skint now if he has done 300k to 400k on legal defences
I’m up for this especially as it’s sung in the same tune as ‘crying on the telly’ when aimed at that slimeball Steve Smith in the cricket. Good work.
