    Bet Eubanks pissed off. Lost multi millions for an easy nights work.

    Hope he files a lawsuit

    And they'd STILL be trying to make sure a Weight drained ghost turned up on Saturday to "make it fair" while their man's juiced to the gills. The fact I wonder why I still bother is down to parasites like Hearn

    But on the positive side, think of how many times we will get to watch a 28 stone man eat a Chinese.

    Yeah he has probably been going through hell to cut this week.

    I posted a few weeks back that Kell Brook was back in camp and Dom Ingle had been posting photos of him looking in decent nick.

    I reckon if it was the other way round and Eubank had pulled out of the fight for whatever reason, Brook could have come in to box Benn at a catchweight. No chance he’d box Eubank at short notice though.

    Absolute cluster**** with Eubank presumably busting his balls to make weight and getting paid zilch for it. If they try to make the fight again he should insist that it is at 160lbs.

    Think you're getting into the realms of conspiracy here. As someone who works and has worked for government organisations like UKAD there is no chance of brown envelopes imo. More likely it was luck in terms of test timing, UKAD caught Whyte when VADA didn't after all.

    Not too mention all the sparring partners he's had to pay.

    Fair enough lad, I just can’t take them seriously when they had to back out of the Fury case because they didn’t have enough money. Anytime there’s a situation like that IMO organisations can be bought.

    Who signed him to Dazn?
    Hearn

    Who signed him to matchroom?
    Hearn

    Who signed the rights to the Saudis?
    Hearn


    He is the root of the problem. The reason Dazn didn't get the AJ fight and had to scramble for a PPV to put on was Hearns fault

    Fury's lawyers added up all the potential earnings from several fights for a defending heavyweight champion and said that's what they were seeking from UKAD. They (UKAD) then got told by the (severely pressed) UK Treasury that they had no interest in paying out a hundred million so they decided to make it all go away.
