Comments Thread For: Conor Benn Willing To Face Adrien Broner in The United States

[brettWall]

Typical of Hearn laying his cards out in the open again.
Does this guy ever learn anything putting all his eggs in one basket?

If you were Broner how would you react? I'd demand truckloads of $$$ for the fight
because these clowns have no choice but me.

Why not put out other names like Victor Ortiz, or even the once great Andre Berto?

Hearn still a baby doe.

Hell, I'm willing to face Broner in the U.S....

As much as I love Calzaghe, his trip to the US was against a way past his prime Roy and Hopkins (great win still).

Calzaghe was well past his prime with bust hands when he faced Roy and at least he travelled, Roy in his prime would never leave the safety of North America , no one outside the hard core had ever heard of him in Europe, he was striclty an American champ shame he could have been a world champion like Ali or Tyson.
Steve Collins wrote a book about chasing Roy, Roy even admitted ducking Eubank in an interview hard work/ not enough money guess it went the same way as the Benn fight etc etc

Sure Roy was a big star in America, great .. this stuff in boxing is the only sport that it happens in tennis players, athletes, golfers everyone else travels and fights the best, it's what kills the sport. All this eye test rubbish.

[Butt stuff]

The announcer tells him,” I’m scared to ask who you want next because you may say Crawford “. He goes and mentions names as far away from Crawford as possible with Broner and the Brook vs khan winner. At least say a Danny Garcia if you want to gain some sort of credibility.

Prob because Danny still levels above and makes Benn eat a big counter hook, then goodnight.

They have been discussing this fight for a while.

Broner posted maybe time to EH (Earn with Hearn) on twitter a week ago, Hearn has been asked about in all the pre fight interviews.

Broner got upset with Al on twitter apparently Al pays his fighters in installments and Broner wasn't pleased at being issued his money as pocket money.

Broner can’t rub two nickels together and he’s complaining about installments? Pocket money is more than “About Bail” has gotten in the last year. He should be thankful to just receive table scraps. The man is a complete waste of oxygen.

Another UK bum basher. What has broner done in years to be relevant and called out? He holds no titles at 147 and isn’t viewed as a true 147 player. Then he wants the winner of Brook and Khan .

will get stuffed anytime he faces a real contender instead of chasing bums

I’m not certain he’ll get stuffed against any contender, but you’re right, there’s **** all point giving him punching bags now everyone can see they’re not a problem.

Time to fast track Benn and put him in the fire. Stick him with Thurman or Ugas

Adrien "the expensive gatekeeper" Broner !

I wouldn't mind seeing Benn vs. MIkey Garcia @ 147! That would be a good fight for a U.S. debut!

Indupitably the dumbest-ass ****** comment on a forum which, lets be brutally honest, isn't short on dumb-ass ****** comments. Have you ever heard of James Toney? Living in the UK I can assure you I had heard of Roy Jones, in the sense of 'who's the best P4P in the world? Roy Jones'. Meantimes Calzaghe was fighting, like, 'Kid fire' Macintyre, Kabery Salem, & refusing to give Robin Reid a rematch

Not sold on Benn, but, as someone who wouldn't want a tattoo on my arm, I'm unsure whether to be disgusted or awed by someone who has a full tattoo across his throat!
