Let’s be real. This isn’t about honor or settling a family score. It’s a business. A very annoying, complicated business.
The weight class is the first hurdle. Conor Benn fights at 147 pounds. Eubank Jr. lives at 160. Last time, they agreed on a 157-pound catchweight. It was awkward for both of them.
Conor needs to move up in weight. He says he can. But boiling down or bulking up takes time. And a whole lot of nutritional compliance.
Then there’s the money. Who gets the bigger split? Who gets the A-side treatment? Both fighters have massive egos, probably inherited alongside their last names. Neither wants to blink first.
And don’t forget the broadcasters. DAZN and Sky have their fingers in the pie. They’re arguing over rights like kids squabbling over the last slice of pizza.

But here’s the thing. If they actually sign the contract tomorrow? Every single one of us will scream. We’ll pretend we didn’t call it a circus. We’ll buy the pay-per-view with zero shame.
Why? Because Eubank vs Benn is a license to print money. And a fight with that much bad blood doesn’t just go away. It just sits there, festering, waiting for the right moment.
