Yeah, it's particularly hard on them, they'll have been in camp, they're not millionaires, they'll be suffering as a result of this. The Benn family should have their hand in their pocket and if Eddie Hearn knew, which I wouldn't put past him, then he should be paying out too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, the only reason this has been exposed is because it was leaked to the Daily Fail. Hearn and cokehead Kalle would've 100% kept this quiet. It's disgusting really. I don't care what bs Hearn tries to spin, it's a black mark against him and Matchroom for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll justify it by saying “ they’ll all be on the rescheduled card “ This will not be a quick process. This will need to be gone through with a fine tooth comb and absolute transparency. Next spring - if even, i reckon. Undercard fighters will have acrued training expenses and all that entails - nutritionists, sparring partners, trainer. All gotta be paid. Like a builder taking on a new plot, getting supplies from a merchants on credit and squaring up with them then when he gets paid. Fighters no different. They pay who is owed money when they get their purse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just didn’t pay much notice and passed it off as him being his usual eccentric self. And yet he was still prepared to go ahead with the bout.. It's an absolute insult to all those stricken boxers who, throughout the years, have sadly fallen on their shields. Not to mention the tragic episode with his Father and Michael Watson. I'm appalled at the whole outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Hearn being made to look a clown in all this aswell. A mate told me that he had heard that Hearn is the one stopping Joshua Fury due to wanting to get more fights out of Joshua rather than potentially one big one, doesnt want to lose his cash cow.

Hearn and DAZN still has a multi fight deal with Joshua. Lose to Fury and the cash cow doesn't exist anymore. That's why it's not happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to Jr. It's obvious now that Snr wanted the fight stopped because of the result of Benn's test but didn't want to let the cat out the bag at that time.

OutByEaster? Posted October 9, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 9, 2022 A fight where one man has to use drugs to bulk up and the other has to starve himself to this degree is, in retrospect, a very bad idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 No one in the media has mentioned the guys on the undercard for the Benn/Eubank fight, they are big losers too, missing out on a needed pay day. Huge disrespect and just counters that this was all about the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully everybody who loses out financially will be paid by Hearn / Matchroom to save them the hassle of having to sue him and Benn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
