Who pays for this? Is Hearn really going to do a couple of million quid to bring Barrios over here? It's not a PPV fight. Hearn would have to take a massive bath on the show. Hearn has enough debits on on the Benn account, he needs some credits asap. I can't see Barrios promoter paying to bring Benn over. Benn will fight Eubanks. Benn needs to pay his legal fees, eddie wants an earner, DAZN desperately need a PPV
I'm not sure; if Eddie was thinking with his wallet he would have cut ties with Benn long ago. It wouldn't surprise me if he continues to prop up Benn by paying Barrios to come over here, and it equally wouldn't surprise me if it blows up in his face and Barrios springs the upset.
Honestly, Barrios is a weak champ in a currently weak division. Conor Benn at his best can win that, especially with home advantage.
