They probably want to do it in the UK in a stadium for the spectacle and because it will be easier to sell the PPV.
I think everyone is just sick to death of having Hearn and Frank Smith telling us that Conor is the innocent victim in all this whilst constantly telling lies and twisting words. They think that the paying public are idiots and will believe whatever bullshite they feed us. I don't have any allegiance to any promoter or boxer but the way Hearn has been through this whole Benn fiasco has made me despise the man. He has become a very bitter ego maniac trying to always put others down. And his bullshite lately has gone through the roof even by his standards. Constantly linking AJ and Benn to big fights on such a date when nothing ever comes off. Since leaving Sky Hearn's stock has dropped massively but he's so smug he thinks he rules boxing. It's surely only a matter of time before DAZN get sick of him wasting all their money?
Definitely, I didn't think I would read anything less believable than his 'sources' but now we have it!
This content is protected I wouldn't be surprised to hear an announcement for Eubank Jr vs Benn in Abu Dhabi with Joshua on the undercard on DAZN PPV anytime next week. Joshua being on the undercard would encourage a lot of people to buy the PPV to be honest. That would be great.
Amazing how disgraceful Matchroom have acted over the multiple Connor Henn drug test failures. Simona Halep, female Tennis Grand Slam Winner BANNED FOR FOUR YEARS after failing a drugs test. Compare this to Matchroom sticking Connor Henn on a card in the USA hoping the issue goes away and using every lie, trick and spin to prevent a ban. Eggie Hearn is now fried and completely lost his good reputation built up over a long period.
Yet there is not an elite trait in any of the three fighters or titles on the line. The drugs cheat should be banned for life. Matchroom is a one trick pony milking the PPV Mugs with garbage. Hearn knows it, the fighters know it and you know it.
Matchroom have acted as I would act if I had invested 2.5mln+ into a fighter. It's disgraceful for the sport, but people make hard decisions around numbers and they've spunked a lot on him. Warren would have been in for Benn as soon as his ban was up. Look at how well Fury has turned out for Warren. Fury fights have single handley saved Frank's business. Benn is a ****ing Hampton however and I don't understand how anyone could like him on a personal level. He is a ****ing *****
Have you read the comments on this post. Nearly all of them are taking the **** about eggs or calling him a drugs cheat. No one like the guy
I'd love to know what Barry Hearn this of Eddie's handling of the Benn situation. All those years of building a reputation to be ripped to shreds over a 2 time arrogant drugs cheat who isn't even a good boxer
