We'll never know because he skipped that route It's a pity as I thought he was being managed well before the decision to go for Eubank
His arrogant snarling road warrior image is so ridiculous. He was brought up with a silver spoon in his mouth not dragged up in the Bronx. Just an extremely poor imitation of his father
I wonder if Conor Benn, as a brand new and young professional boxer, has been told by Eddie Hearn / Matchroom how he should behave and which brand Matchroom wanted to build around him ? I have heard from several boxers how (before press conferences) Eddie Hearn tells the boxers what to say and encourages them to argue.
Hearn has sold many a Box Office event based on pre scripted and rehearsed acting. The Haye v Bellew rehearsed script started when Haye attended a Bellew fight, the post fight acting by Bellew threatening to leave the ring and confront Haye was well acted until Bellew forgot what to call Haye's hairstyle. The bad blood at the presser was followed by both Haye and Bellew laughing, joking and congratulating each other in another room about how good they played their parts. Not forgetting Chisora declaring war on a table and a glass of water. Plenty of people think the bad blood etc is real and have no idea they are being made a sucker.
I used to say this years ago when people argued for years during the mayweather v pacquiao situation. Both guys probably were in constant contact with each other building that fight to maximize ppv revenues. Wouldn’t be suprised if they were friends the whole time.
Eddie has been slipping with his staged fake beef over last 12 months or so. The Benn/Brook shove at side of the ring was pitiful and even casual suckers didn't fall for it
This is not new to Matchroom , Barry has said for years that they done this with Snooker & Darts , make up different characters to create a storyline/interest.
It was only an attempt to defend Conor Benn. It must not have been easy as a young man of just 18 years. You´re not grown up and mature at that age and he has been advised in a wrong way. I'm probably not going to be popular writing this but a part of me feels sorry for Conor Benn.
That table Chisora threw looked like it was made of polystyrene Bellew admitted on a podcast that he demanded Haye was a pundit for the Flores fight when signing the contract.
