    Benn is a piece of **** but he has outsmarted the promter here which is rarely down

    Hearn and co needs to get back to basics, promoting UK fighters, exciting knockouts and scraps that gets the football crowd into it but the problem is they don't have the Sky Sports machine and the era of that has moved on a bit, before the became households names with Sky pumping them 24/7 on Sky Sports News, Gloves are off, mentioning it during the football, ask someone the street now to name five matchroom fighters

    I think the shock comes from the way Con Bent left Hearn and Matchroom after they clearly lied and defended him throughout the drugs case. It makes them all despicable really. They're all cuunts. Like Chris Eubank said. It's one scumbag screwing over another scumbag.

    Wonder what Bellend Bellew has to say about the genuinely dead lovely sweet kid Con Bent, now that he's screwed over his God Eggie Hearn.

    Love how Eddie and Fat Frank have immediately told the world that Eddie loaned Con Bent money. Why don't they spill the beans on the drugs tests too. Scumbags. All of them.

    This reminds me of a woman who shacks up with her affair partner, thinking it won't happen to them. Once a rat always a rat.

    Oh yeah, if it was Shalom he would be calling him an amateur.

    Yep. That's why the only "dirt" he gave 2ae the fact he loaned him money. He also said, I could say a lot but I won't.

    It would be the funniest thing ever id he fails another drugs test, because Dana sure as hell won't be throwing himself on any grenades to protect him.

    Exactly. He won't lead with his emotions at the detriment of the business. Many in boxing would, but Hearn is too calculated. I do believe he is genuinely feeling hurt and let down mind you.

    Very surprised at this news but he could be looking to become a bigger name joining Zuffa should they be confirmed on Sky Sports.


    Eddie Hearn must be in shock.

    I was thinking the same thing. Or he gets steamrolled in his one contracted fight with ZUFFA.

    Agree with posters that Hearn is hinting he certainly had doubts or information regarding the CB testing and drug scandal.

    Two things, CB with the way he has gone to Zuffa which he's entitled to do, why not be a man pick up the phone and be upfront about leaving? Especially to a man that backed you when you were at your lowest ebb, thinking of suicide? I have on any forum been consistent about both, don't think much of either.

    Also if the first sentence rings true you as a promoter are happy to promote a drug cheat in a sport where that kind of edge can seriously injure or kill an opponent?

    All money I guess.
