It's stupid that Matchroom would turn down 45% of the money they would make against Eubank Jr to fight Barrios. I'm not a fan of either guy, but I think it's fair Eubank Jr should get slightly more as he is the bigger name, the more proven fighter at World level, he has the better names on his resume even if they are not all wins. In addition all the problems surrounding their first planned meeting being cancelled were all down to Conor Benn's failed tests.
Agreed, I mean the fight is so close to being made and they're worried about 5%. The truth is Conor is coming off of a cheating scandal and a lackluster performance that pretty much went under the radar. Eubank has been the most active and has been getting his name out there. I think it's a fair split. Sacrifice 5% for a lot more in the future if Benn wins
They're both trading on their dad's names and rivalries. It's 50/50 all day. Eubank isn't proven at world level because he was beaten when he tried, years ago. All he's ever had is that minor title that no one gives a toss about and a string of underwhelming opponents. Man is a mercenary, and fair play but, he's pricing himself out over silliness here. Without Nigel and Chris Sr, this wouldn't even be a thing
Proven at world level 😂 nether boxer earns the same kind of money elsewhere if eubank will take home fraction fighting lara and probably lose its just egos
In fairness, for this fight…Eubanks effort vs Benns Eubanks boxed, he’s been on big stages, led PPV. Benn had smaller fights and messed up the first fight. Should at least be recognised otherwise he gets the same reward regardless of the the last 2 years onf nonsense.
If they both lose to Barios and Lara, the Benn vs Eubank fight will be worth a lot less. The fact either fighter gets paid £10 million plus, when neither has ever fought for a world title, is a little crazy.
Shes Dodged Caroline Dubois whos looking like her brother now.....just a nasty spite in her boxing....she is the real deal....Katy needs to have 1 more and retire before she gets hurt...shes taking too much punishment now.....and she will go down as one of the Greatest ever and doesnt have to keep on going to the Well ...Retire and go Live a Life beyond boxing Katy
A fight that no one but promoters wanted. Hopefully, that's the end of it now. Benn can get exposed at welterweight, and Eubank can get his ears boxed off by Lara
Considering the first fight between Eubank Jr and Benn fell apart because of Benn failing 2 drugs tests and then dragging it out for 2 years, in which time Eubank was knocked out. I think 55/45 in favour of Eubank is more than fair. It’s ridiculous. If Conor really wants that fight and believes it’s easy work then just take it!!
Conor Benn has some nerve… Who’s he though, another Gomez, Sanchez another road sweeper!!! Jr is being extremely fair I think 60-40 in Eubanks favour makes more sense. However Jr wants the Fight so he’s willing to take 55-45 split. Conor Benn out pricing himself, screams 🦆ing
Who has Benn fought beat to get 50% not to mention the last 2 years. Yea, Jnr lost to Billy and George but both close (ish) and had a 10% better at least CV.
Why doesn't the wbc adopt the open scoring system in all fights with the extra rnd if both fighters are drawing after 12 ?, it makes sense and stops the whole bout being called a draw and the judges get off with no comments if their score cards are awful and not similar to the others or the fight ???
@peterruff5810 well it's been on trial in ibf I believe, open rnd scoring system. So you don't get those robbery draws or fights that end in controversy,?. We will see how this grand prix boxing league goes with those rules ??
Benn has a great opportunity to pick up world titles at the welterweight division. Crawford and Spence have both left and there are weak champions out there who are very beatable (Barrios and Norman). Ennis is the only risky fight for him.
Calling inoue a duck is a stretch. Maybe you could say he ducked estrada n roman gonzalez back in the day but noawdays... the dude is chasing greatness
Carl Froch is so bitter and jealous. He didn't make 1/10th of the money boxers in Riyadh made. That's why he's on RUclips moaning like a baby. 😂😂😂 He's delegated to screaming at a camera on youtube. 😂😂

He’s defiantly not a bigger name like. 50/50 is a fair split. they’ll both still make an absolute fortune. It’s just pure greed
In fairness, for this fight…Eubanks effort vs Benns

Eddie flown in for a night with skye
Good for him. People are talking like this is a bad thing
hes sky high in shrimp
@raz6828 Its the worst kept secret in Boxing....Lol
Shes Dodged Caroline Dubois whos looking like her brother now.....just a nasty spite in her boxing....she is the real deal....Katy needs to have 1 more and retire before she gets hurt...shes taking too much punishment now.....and she will go down as one of the Greatest ever and doesnt have to keep on going to the Well ...Retire and go Live a Life beyond boxing Katy
She dodged Dubois but is fighting sorrano or Cameron😂😂 stfu you muppet she’s the only female fighter that takes on all comers. Stop talking rubbish
Benn world title shot 😂…based on what 😂
That he lets Eddie suck his dad
The P.Diddy of boxing promotors is in no position to negotiate. Eubank is being very fair.
A fight that no one but promoters wanted. Hopefully, that's the end of it now. Benn can get exposed at welterweight, and Eubank can get his ears boxed off by Lara
Nah deal is done this percent nonsense is just to give boxing fans chewing gum and they're lapping it up.
Benn and Eubank should fight for the +/- 5%. They'd still both get a big guarantee
Actually top idea!
Contract winner gets 60 percent loser gets 40 - deal done
No no deal eubank has said 55% or nothing
I wouldn’t agree to that if I was Eubank Jr. he’s the A side and the purse should reflect that.
AJ doesn’t deserve a fight with fury, he’s lost last few
If Eubank vs Benn isn't happening next. Eubank should fight Lara, and Benn should fight Barrios. As for Boots, Stanionis or Teo.
Considering the first fight between Eubank Jr and Benn fell apart because of Benn failing 2 drugs tests and then dragging it out for 2 years, in which time Eubank was knocked out. I think 55/45 in favour of Eubank is more than fair. It’s ridiculous. If Conor really wants that fight and believes it’s easy work then just take it!!
Why would Eubank /Benn ever be on ? They are nothing like the same weight division.
Nothing like? They are 2 weight classes away from each other
Prizefighting. Fighters fight for money
@robbiemacdonald777 Weight draining, very , very dangerous.
I wonder what Umar Ahmed felt when Eddie Hearn Nicholson told him that “ Eubank making only a Million quid” isn’t enough. What a shambles
The Skye's the limit with this man😉
Hearn should have said my side piece has to fight her mandatory
Jack Catterall getting shafted on all fronts
Never gets a fair shake.
Submissive catterall 😂
Conor Benn has some nerve…
Who’s he though, another Gomez, Sanchez another road sweeper!!!
Jr is being extremely fair I think 60-40 in Eubanks favour makes more sense.
However Jr wants the Fight so he’s willing to take 55-45 split.
Conor Benn out pricing himself, screams 🦆ing
The Monaco card is laughable.
Who has Benn fought beat to get 50% not to mention the last 2 years. Yea, Jnr lost to Billy and George but both close (ish) and had a 10% better at least CV.
The fight stinks anyway , the weight is too much of a problem
Why doesn't the wbc adopt the open scoring system in all fights with the extra rnd if both fighters are drawing after 12 ?, it makes sense and stops the whole bout being called a draw and the judges get off with no comments if their score cards are awful and not similar to the others or the fight ???
Doesn't that ruin the whole aspect of Boxing tho , that's like saying in Football play on until there's a goal to stop a draw.
@peterruff5810 well it's been on trial in ibf I believe, open rnd scoring system. So you don't get those robbery draws or fights that end in controversy,?. We will see how this grand prix boxing league goes with those rules ??
Seems like the nightmare to deal with is Boots, He only wants easy fights
Benn has a great opportunity to pick up world titles at the welterweight division. Crawford and Spence have both left and there are weak champions out there who are very beatable (Barrios and Norman). Ennis is the only risky fight for him.
Did Eddie and Skye share a room? 👀
Maybe they did. Wouldn't you share a room with him... I bet you would, ye wee bottom
Eduardo Hernandez can’t be a real boxer?! That’s Eddie taking the p1ss isn’t it?? That’s just the Spanish version of the name Eddie Hearn🤦♂️🙈
Eddie championing Fury makes me sick
Eddies still fuming from when Chris Snr put it on his old man and made him pay up that 250
Remember when Benn was crushing it in the gym and wanted Boots NOW. Make it happen Eddie 🥊
Eubank and benn liked each other the last time we saw them face to face
Eubank. You smell nice
Benn. Thanks jean paul gaultier 😂
Calling inoue a duck is a stretch. Maybe you could say he ducked estrada n roman gonzalez back in the day but noawdays... the dude is chasing greatness
Well he has ducked the fight twice , to fight lesser fighters . Thats only the truth . Why ?
50% of something or 100% of nowt!
45% or something or 100% of nothing. Eubank has headlined 5 PPVs while Benn hasn’t headlined 1. Eubank is the A side.
@@Glasschin2.0 If they fight they get a pay day. If they don't they get NOWT.
The goat
Boots is the ultimate ducker
Conor eggs
Hearn flew in last night for a night with skye
Eubank is the A side
Pish again eddie
Carl Froch is so bitter and jealous. He didn't make 1/10th of the money boxers in Riyadh made. That's why he's on RUclips moaning like a baby. 😂😂😂 He's delegated to screaming at a camera on youtube. 😂😂
He doesn't chase money .
He is in the hall of fame
He is healthy and happy
@@Kamran-u9i7uAnd knocked out George Groves in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.
Cobra is a legend. 😊
Hearn laughing at the idea of Eubank making a mere “million quid” purse against Lara like it’s 10 pence!! 😂 these cats living on another planet
Not their fault that they are able to make a lot of money. Stop being bitter.
Wonder what Connor’s purse was for Peter Dobson lol 😂
Laughs at a million.
What’s Benns other purse options?
