    Hummm...... I mean im glad it's not Kell Brook, but Pac is a close second, these guys need to stay retired, Pac is 45 and it only takes 1 punch, i suppose we shouldn't be surprised given the other news today.

    It's all about the money.

    Tyson and Pac need to stay retired. Their best days are behind them.

    And the public don't even care for this
    Boxing fans don't care for it

    Weird and gay

    Most casuals and regular people have no idea who Conor Benn is

    If Pac wants to get CTE for a couple million dollars he should at least fight someone who is known lol

    When Pacquiao lost to Ugas, the first thing I thought was "I really hope he stays completely inactive and returns to fight Conor Benn in three years."

    E-Hearn and Conor clouting chasing. They're trying to raise Conor's profile by scavenging off the corpses of long retired world famous greats

    Haney is kind of doing the same thing in a round about way with Ryan who has a huge social media following. They're so desperate to piggyback off Ryan's fame to try and raise Haney's boring ass profile with his boring ass style they're still desperate to go through with the fight against him despite it being abundantly clear that Ryan is experiencing a psychotic episode and is very mentally unwell

    I guess you could argue Jake ''Money'' Paul is doing the same by facing an old Mike Tyson who is probably on the downside of his prime now but at least Jake is a fellow ATG and he's just as famous as Mike was in his prime

    Between this and stuff like Joshua-Ngannou and Tyson-Paul, we are really watching the final collapse of boxing's dignity in real-time, aren't we?

    Wrong Conor.

    The Irish version is the one Manny is targeting.

    Edit: sorry, never mind

    Just when you think Conor Benn could not get more unlikable, he goes and plucks a 45 year old ex flyweight out of retirement.

    I think I would actually cry if Benn beat Pac. After seeing Pac vs Ugas, I imagine that is what will happen. What a stupid and pointless fight for Manny to take.

    This egg eating drug cheat doesn't deserve a penny from this sport

    People who box for half their lives then quickly sell out achieving nothing for a payday deserve to be beaten in a small room by Francis Nnganou.

    I was saying this to my nephew the other day. It’s happened pretty much overnight as well. I remember back as recently as 10 years ago, the big fight nights had a real aura of prestige about them. Nowadays, boxing just feels really fu*king tacky and cheap.
