Let's be fair, it is Eddie Hearn, whatever he says will be to suit his argument!
Loving the contradictions though, the man knows when to protect that fat cash pot.

Re: Benn v Eubank

Might try and get another boxing board to sanction it. Luxemburg sanctioned Chirosa vs Haye a few years back despite neither of them being registered boxers at the time.

Just when you though boxing couldn't turn any more into a farce. Between this and the heavyweight debarcle of who is fighting who it is no wonder fans are turning away.

It really is frustrating.
I've followed it for something like 35 years, and back then it was just so much more simple. The best fought the best and that was it. Fights just seemed so much easier to make.
Unfortunately that didn't last long, people like Don King and Frank Warren started to ruin it over time and it's never been the same since. The money-men control it now and have, indeed, turned it all into a bit of a farce.
The higher up the divisions you go, the worse it gets as you've rightly pointed out. It doesn't help having so many different bodies and belts mind either.

I said on here months ago that this fight was a pantomime which didn’t interest me, it’s been a joke from the get go.

Most people wont care about a failed drugs test that means nothing to them .
Boxing fans mmmmm I think there is more interest in how many press the pay per view button ..similar to football of course.

Maybe Joe public won't mind, but Carl Frampton had no sympathy for Benn failing a drugs test, he said it's drilled into you at an early age, if it goes ahead it makes a bit of a mockery for British professional Boxing.

Re: Benn v Eubank

The promoters are leaches with no shame.

A pumped up muscle packed fighter (the Matchroom fighter) v a dehydrated weight drained fighter.

Its a disgrace and should be called off now.

If it goes ahead I hope Eubank annihilates him.

Eddies pockets will still be full though.

He probably will to be fair, which is why he's happy for it to go ahead.
He can gloat about beating a version of Benn on PED's if he wins too.

Make no mistake though, Eubank won't be taking this lightly.

As much of a mis-match as this might be, both will be fired up something silly and there's going to be fireworks. Benn's full of hate towards Eubank for his dad's loss, and Eubank hates what Benn Sr put his old man through.

Both lads are quite literally continuing this feud.

Re: Benn v Eubank

if the fight goes ahead, hasn't boxing gone down the cycling route ( pre the clean up ) ? ??

Re: Benn v Eubank

At a bare minimum the dehydration clause should be removed and the fighting weight be set at the correct middleweight limit.

This test was done in late August early September apparently. Its a complete joke.

Its one thing a cyclist being a drug cheat. A boxer pumping up getting stronger fitter more aggressive and punching you in the head is another.

Frampton is right there should be lifetime bans.
