It would damage this forums' reputation

Either just make it happen or shut the f**k up talking about it. 
Too many fights in boxing that should be made buy just then don't get put together or not until one or them there stock has fallen.

That's the great thing about ufc. Best fight the best 
Talks are still ongoing so I wouldn't say it's off the table yet.
Fury just giving himself an "out" to fight Manuel Charr if he needs it (a fight nobody wants to see).

And from the joint statement it’s the BBBCs fault as opposed to Benn failing the test

The BBBC did the right thing here - I think most people can see that.
Eddie and the Saurlands have not come out of this looking too good.

Benn thought they'd be fighting for the IVF title...

That would have been a decent fight. Did i read somewhere Benn was favourite? Id see Eubank beating him myself. Been seems overrated. I seen a fair few of his early fights and he didnt look that great. He defo lost one i watched earlybin his career but low and behold he got the decision. He was well beaten in the fight. Cant remember which one. Wasnt going to pay the subscription for it this weekend anyway so.

Remember watching the Nigel Benn/Gerald McClellan fight and thinking Benn wore loaded gloves.

What I don't understand is how Benn had the upper hand in negotiations and was able to impose the conditions on Eubanks. Whatever about the fight weight, the rehydration clause was ridiculous.

Hearn comes out of this looking very badly. But then again, he has form; Dillian Whyte testing positive before the Rivas fight.

Eddie is like one of the old style promoters from the 40's and 50's. The 2 fathers were some boxers back then. ITV used to get massive viewing figures before the sport sold the lot to sky.

Hes was fairly wobbled. Didn't think Smith would have the power to trouble him like that.
