Benn fails drug test

Has Hearn still not commented?

Thought he'd at least do an interview with loads of lies and suggestions then avoid answering any direct questions using the old confidentiality card

 

That's why it points at the leak is true as if it was the other way he would have done about 10 IFL interviews about it by now

I know that Matchroom has invested a lot of money in building Conor Benn's career, but they should get rid of him.

 

Exactly.
The money Eddie must be making at the moment with the Saudis aswell

 

Rumour is that it will be announced he takes a 2 year backdated ban and fights before the end of the year

 

Matchroom is not going to let go of Conor Benn until they get their investment back.

I don't think Eddie Hearn's ego will be able to withstand it either

 

Cheers. Got a laugh out of that.

 

They are going to be waiting a while.

If they hadn't run interference in the process for the past 2 years, Benn could be fighting Eubank now, having served a 2 year ban. Instead they have snuck off and fought 2 no-names in the US for next to nothing, helped Benn destroy his name and NOW face a 2 year ban.

 

Any ban should start from the date of his last fight. Serve him right for the spin of the past 2 years.

How can it be backdated when (presumably) other commissions would have denied him the licence to fight?

 

That is true, as you can't backdate a ban if he has fought.

How funny would that be if that happened

 

I mean if you took this to the conclusion that he shouldn't have been fighting, his last two bouts could be declared no-contests in hindsight. No idea what that would do to the fees and so on (probably nothing) but it's a can of worms.

 

Absolutely, but I can't help fearing there'll be a 'compronise' backdating it to the original date and they'll overlook the overseas contest in pursuit of an easy life

 

The BBBofC haven't gone to the trouble of protesting this thing only to roll over after being successful and just letting the guilty party - Conor Benn - do what he likes. If they were to do that they would be providing a blue print for every future drug cheat to avoid penalty. Benn needs to be made an example of here and deserves to be.

 

I wonder what goes through Eddie and Con Bents head when they say things like. "I just wana move on now, I want it over and done with now, it's dragging on for far too long" .

What the fack? Face the fackin board you gimp and take your ban you massive monng.
