Eddie always done his bit for Benn, crazy sport, crazy move. Must have been a massive whack they offered Benn for that, as he was always payed well by Matchroom.
Unfortunately loyalty rarely exists these days. But for a one fight deal for 8 figures I don't blame the man. It's so funny to see people on here defending Hearn when you lot normally don't have a good word to say about him. I guess it's a case of you hate Benn more than Hearn . But whatever, don't act like you wouldn't do what Benn has done.
That changes the perspective a bit then. We should maybe wait to see how this plays out. Hearn and Smith may well be in on this and have encouraged Benn to take the deal with an agreement already in place to come back to Matchroom afterwards.
Hearn on IFL saying he found out through Benn’s lawyer emailing him & that he messaged Benn saying he thinks they should speak on the phone after everything he’s done for him and Benn said no. Also says he loaned Benn hundreds of thousands to pay for his legal fees. Ouch.
Just seen the IFL interview. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if they are playing 3D chess here with a plan for Benn to jump ship back immediately after the reported 1 fight deal WWE style.
Just don't see it at all. Hearn is good at alot of things but hiding how he really feels about something he just can't do it
It's madness that anyone would be willing to pay Benn 10 million for a fight. Are they crazy?? Benn is utter shite!!
If Frank and Eddie have any sense they will keep working together and forget about Turki. They could easily put on a Queensbury Vs match room 5 vs 5 every 6 months and it would be huge ( admittedly Eddie may have to get more decent fighters).
