    Makes you respect Bellew so much, as loyal as they come to Hearn, he would never do this and he never had a long term contract, AJ also would never do this, same with Froch and Barker, proper fighters

    He has a life time contract anyway, and even if he has to go and fight on Netflix for the Fury fight, Eddie will be involved financially, won't be cast aside like Benn has done.

    Froch absolutely boned Hennessy who had done all the hard work getting him where he was. Always been snidey as they come.

    Hearn must have some serious dirt on Benn with everything that's gone on but knows he can't give it to us straight from the horses mouth without also making himself look terrible. So I imagine we will see stuff getting released to the press but with a Hearn/matchroom friendly spin put on it in exchange for the info. It's a dirty business and this is how these people think and operate.

    Why is the whole boxing world crying about a boxer moving to another promoter for a better deal? Who wouldn't do that if it was your sole income?

    Don’t think anyone on here is crying about. Most are amused.

    I hope it comes out. Eggie Hearn will still be scum regardless of if it comes out though.

    Barry Hearn on talksport today

    "A guy that failed 2 PEDS tests, we believed in him. Did we get it completely wrong with him? Did we believe him when we shouldn’t have?"

    We all knew the cuunt was guilty. We just need that confidentiality clause lifted.

    Matchroom have suddenly changed their stance on the poor innocent little kid spiel.

    Would love all the dirt to come out on Benn though, he's such a scumbag.

    There are journalists who have bad stories about Conor Benn lying around. It may be that they will come to the public's attention ?

    Bellew never would have had an offer similar to test his resolve
