    I don’t know why they don’t state the figures a bit more publicly. If somebody has made an insulting offer then make it public or at least a rough figure.

    So by big names I'm gonna assume that the likes of Luiz Collazo and Paulie Malignaggi are likely to get the call?

    Keith Thurman, who's had injury after injury and fought once in the last three years.

    Thurman fights on Showtime PPV - he’s not coming over to the UK to fight on DAZN.

    Instead of pretending to want big unrealistic names why don’t they make offers for some good solid fighters who not only are realistic but also in their prime and by beating them would progress Benn’s career. I’m talking the likes of Kavaliauskas.

    Conor Benn dresses like a chav who's just had a big lottery win and talks like a character from a 2000's era Guy Ritchie straight to DVD film...

    Still can't believe that Nigel referred to him as a "white version" of him, the beatings he took at the end of his career clearly affected him.

    The way he quietly squeezes "and I reckon I'd have filled him in" in the middle of the Ramirez chat where he's otherwise trying to sound respectful.
