    Benn beats this version of Manny. Manny is 44 years old and I doubt he has been training.

    If the Dubai commission authorise him to fight, and he hasn't sent his case to the board, then the fight will be a disaster to promote.

    Every press conference would be similar to the first fury conference after the Kinahan announcement - no questions from the press.

    The whole build up will be around failed drug tests. It is an awful PR exercise for the ME to put it on.

    Indeed, Hearn will be horrified at how this is playing out. Over the years he has been the master of PR spin and painting his fighters (and himself) in a favourable light. I think he underestimated just how unpalatable Benn's character really is.

    The big difference here, like him or not, Simon Jordan pushing this so much on Talksport has killed Eddie on this.

    Eddie being dragged out off the untrained/under the thumb youtube presenter types to people like SJ who doesn't need media passes etc. Eddie ain't used to playing in the real world, and they've been badly exposed.

    I'm still laughing at Con Bent's reply to Piers Morgan.

    Why won't you give this dossier of evidence to the board?

    The board can do one.

    :lol:

    Classic shifting technique he deployed there. It's what liars do. It's so transparent.

    Start banging on something else like about his dad and how he tore up his licence 50 years ago once someone brings up the board.

    No one even bloody asked ConBent about his bleeding Dad and no one cares about that.

    Scum.Liar.Cheat. Nothing more to be said

    Pacquiao has nothing left, he was in an exhibition a few weeks ago and he looked dreadful.

    Probably Jordan was just waiting for the opportunity. Hearn is usually so slippery I guess it's hard for mainstream types to really go in on him, but with Benn you're defending the indefensible. If Hearn could turn back the clock knowing how Benn would act in public, I'm sure he would be much less supportive and distance himself as much as possible.

    Benn has made a career out of fighting shells

    He's 45, inactive, had 72 fights, and is much smaller, plus he couldn't feed himself after his last genuine fight, perfect opponent then, why WOULDN'T a repellent individual like Benn want to make a few quid off beating a hugely faded legendary name like Pacquiao?

    And you know just how full of himself Benn would be afterwards.


    Boxing really disgusts me sometimes.


    I do however , think EH has misread the room on this, both on the feasibility of what's being said, and Benn's totally totally unlikeable persona

    I've noticed Eddie has been grooming his next YouTube outlet of choice in Boxing Social and Parsons.

    Never once did Tebbutt or Purewal get a sit down with Boxing Social as they ask decent questions and don't just take his answers as a given.

    Hearn now has Boxing Social and IFL on the payroll but knows he can't give ID Boxing the same access.

    To be fair Frank Warren has Umar from IFL in his pocket too. Charlie Parsons seemed alright at the start but he has become increasingly unlikable. ID Boxing have the best coverage in my opinion but they don't have the access that IFL or even Boxing Social do.

    Please please please let someone like Errol Spence or even Liam Smith from a domestic point of view call Benn’s bluff and get in there with him.

    No bigger idiot or bighead than Nigels son himself. Plenty of evidence ( any time he sees a mic) to suggest he's much more of a twat than a nice kid who has somehow gone astray
