    The street image doesn't really wash when everyone knows he's a silver spoon kid though.

    A little nugget I’ve seen in two Hearn interviews today is him casually mentioning Pacquiao as Benn’s next opponent.

    DAZN are far from being broke with Blavatnik’s billions and they obviously see Benn as their next PPV star. If Rizin can afford Manny, DAZN definitely can.

    To quote his own words after one of his last fights ..... "PPV baby, I'm PPV" ( or similar) ... he wants the money up front before risking losing, and losing his financial "entitlement". It made me laugh that when he did get his PPV fight he f***** it up :) I hope he never gets his PPV baby.

    Surely today has got to be the say we find out. If they gave Benn the heads up the other week then I don't know what the delay is.

    The board have right ****ed me off with this as well. As soon as they found out about the first failed test they should have paused the fight.

    The whole sport is a complete ****ing mess. You can't fight if you've failed a drug test, should be the easiest ****int rule in the book to administer. ****ing shameful carry on.

    This is the mad thing, it's only one test being investigated.

    It's the WBC Clean Boxing program test, the second test was paid for by Eddie Hearn, so he is the one who decides what happens with that second test.

    Anyone who's watched Eddie's interviews on this, people looking right/up whilst talking are generally lying.
