As much as that's good for him, that kinda sucks for Americans. I'm not going to Saudi for this fight but I'd be there if it were in Vegas.

Because boxing is such a slow moving sport. Were these dudes active with multiple fights between those two years? Hell No

Eddie Hearn, Conor Benn and the poison at the heart of British boxing
Promoter’s determination to press ahead with Middle East bout is inexcusable. Surely boxing has become a mockery if Benn plans to fight again without fully clearing his name?

'appearance' ?
To be fair, Catterall fought twice in 2023 after that fight. Taylor's only fight was against Teo, I think.

The Benn thing is the one thing I can't get jiggy with.

That whole article is pretty telling tbh.
Lining fights up without telling fighters their opponents have popped dirty etc. Imagine the repercussions if there's injury or death?

Context is everything
In this Boxing game and how promoters usually move, Eddie Hearn is decent
How?
By explicitly stating only 1 fight. When will it be, the first or fifth fight in his contract? I've never heard of that being a thing in boxing before.
Say anything about Don King and corruption but he tried to make all fights big as he got the lion's share
Were the rings bigger back then? I’m still going through y’all’s list and the ring looks huge for Pryor vs Arguello II unless I’m tripping.
Yeah... That doesn't makes sense. Everybody can't be a draw. Since he's signed to Matchroom, It's a lot easier to talk up and make a fight between him and Haney than it would be to talk up a fight between him and Russell if he was still signed with PBC.
Also DAZN is out here making fights Hansen damn near every weekend while we wait for PBC to put on a fukkin PPV between Thurman and Tszyu.

It could have been, ring sizes fluctuate, mostly dictated by
-Which boxer is the A-Side/Promoters side. A boxer/team/promoter might want a bigger ring to utilise their outside game, their strengths in fitness or movement, or the opposite, their opponent has these attributes, so they make it smaller to negate the B-Side strengths. The same goes for smaller rings, and the inverse of this (make it small to brawl, negate an opponent's longer, straight hand etc.)
- Or it may have been the camera position/field of view of the lens was different back then.
A recent example -
Today is fukk Hearn day. fukk that slimy motherfukker.

Dude basically started 24/7 when he was covering Mayweather with all those exclusives in camp. Till they fell out over Leon reporting his IRS troubles lol. I think he even beefed with Arum
But I think Arum was having a senile moment with that lol

I don’t have the energy to upload all the other videos that were taken down, but I uploaded this one since it took me awhile to put together and edit.
