Conor Benn made Number 1 in WBC rankings at welter

Have I mis-remembered or was there a podcast episode once where Benn was pretty awful to his other half for being a bit honest about home life?

 

I think it was sort of in the background of an IFL interview or something along those lines if I remember correctly

 

I hardly watch live tv but I’ve just seen this on an ad during the darts. It’s Hearn trying to wash him after he showed his colours bullying his missus. Really poor form from Sky allowing it.

Hearn saying 15,000 Brits would follow Benn to America if he fought Garcia. Could be his best line yet.

For clarity, 10k went to New York for AJ who was much much bigger and that was before a cost of living crisis.

 

Beat me to it, mate. I was coming here to say this, a close second would have to be from the same interview, "Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn is the biggest fight in the sport" - absolutely mind-boggling shite.

 

Well, if the Dalton Smith fight is anything to go by, it might actually be cheaper for fans to fly to Las Vegas, attend it in person, and make a weekend of it than stay at home and buy the PPV.

 

Is there even a TV deal for this fight in the UK?

Billion dollar Hearn losing a purse bid to an outfit ive genuinely never heard of, for supposedly one of the biggest potential stars on his books.

Quite mental really

 

UK PPV is £41.95 - more than a gram of bugle at current street prices. That alone tells you this isn’t expected to sell anything.

It’s obvious Orengo at Fresh is playing with OPM. The only question is which kind, some external backer in the background, DK-style or otherwise. Either way, this fight is not making money.

PPV is dead, gate is dead, UK PPV at that pricing level will be basically nonexistent. So, however it’s structured, someone is eating a seven-figure hit this weekend.

 

Unlimited supply of dogs.
