Benn fails drug test

Eddie never said it was the full stadium, might have been pre-match entertainment in one of the suites? You can get a couple of hundred in those too

 

Lol he may as well have just served a ban if this is the best they could come up with.

Is this his tune up fight before the big showdown with Paulie Malignaggi at the Cleveland backpackers centre or something?

 

They’ve gone from wanting the ‘biggest fight in British boxing’ to fighting Pete Dobson and there was absolutely no middle ground.

Hearn is clearly ticking him over before the cash out (to get his investment back) and he wants to take absolutely zero risks if the money isn’t massive.

Dobson will have been out of the ring 20 months by the time the fight comes around.

 

Assume Benn will have the front to show up in Saudi tomorrow, promoting the next big event on the horizon...

"Look forward to chatting with His Excellency and strategise for next year's Riyadh Season, Parsons"

 

Name another UK prospect with the balls to cross the Atlantic koogz

 

He is a complete moron. Headlining in Vegas? It’s in a tiny conference room which the Cosmo use for small time nobody acts like stand up comics to pad out the stays for guests with free tickets.

 

Genuinely feel sorry for Frank Warren on this.

In the new found era of not slating each other due to not wanting upset the paylords, he must be dying to have a pop about this fight.

Reckon Eddie's announced specifically as this time so other promoters can't take the **** as their all in the Kingdon

 

Possibly, but I suspect the promoters all know what’s going on behind the scenes with each others’ stables and maybe there’s some sympathy with Hearn over Benn’s behaviour despite all the backing he’s had…

 

Grove took it from him and threw it in the bin

 

Has anyone watched Dobson?

 

I know we should be use to it by now with Benn and Eddie but calling out Eubank, Ennis and Haney and ending up with a inactive, unranked pro with a padded record who was recentley being considered to fight Pat McCormack, it's embarrassing.

 

In any other sport with credible journalism which both promote the highs and criticise the lows of the sport this event and situation would be torn to shreds publicly, but as usual we will get the same few laughable social media 'journalists ' failing to ask a single question of relevance - just lapping it up.

......almost like they have paymasters they don't want to upset. Independent?! Yeh, course you are!

 

Couple of decent dust ups in pub car parks apparently

 

Don’t even know what to comment regarding this opponent, it’s almost becoming a bit of a parody now.

 

Their must of been a couple of dozen times now when you genuinely believe they couldn't possibly find a way of making the situation any worse or more laughable - and yet against all the odds they somehow find a way to do it!! Quite an achievement
