Obviously the money people have crunched the numbers and have come up with a good financial reason to have CB in the picture.
It's not squaring with the gods though is it.
There's bigger things at play and CB with that type of reputation isn't going where they're going.

I think this is what will happen, especially now Pac can't fight at the Olympics (he was targeting it but they won't lower the age ceiling any more)
If Pacquiao insists on fighting again at his age. Surely a more logical opponent would be someone like say Amir Khan right?

Khan's been harping for years about wanting him or Mayweather, he'd still come back for that I'd imagine.

Unfortunately mate where there is money involved continuity and fairness don’t always go hand in hand

The problem with drugs in boxing is the privacy laws.

I am willing to bet some boxers have paid a lot of money to ensure things will never come out in the open

He’s a grown man and he seems stubborn so hard to know whether he’s been badly advised or has just acted really poorly. I’d imagine the latter.

Either way it’s still a complete mess. Nearly 2 years in and he’s no closer to be fighting in the U.K.

Good ,just hope he's broke now and the sports cars get repoccessed ,, Then hope his next fight is against someone his own size with a pulse and ambition , hope his next opponent splatters him allover the ring , lays him out cold , then gets his father in the ring and does a dance next to his unconsious body ,,then i;ll shout at the top of my voice KARMA

Benn will definitely get a big fight, outside of the UK, if he does well enough he might get more fights.
I'd guess that PAC and Brook still have too much for him, I think Eubank would go through him, obviously the Crawford's and Haney are different levels.
All would generate money and be a good cash out for all involved.
I think plan A would be to get Khan out of retirement and then a harder fight.
Two big fights and everyone gets paid well.

If Campbell Hatton can pick up a WBO Global International Penta Continental belt against a foreign export in his comeback fight, he would be in line to fight Benn, would be a money spinner.

Then Khan, and if he gets past that Brook.

All in Fast Cars camp, easy fights to make, and everyone will earn big bucks.

Shambles as per, appeals, confidentiality, hearings, findings imminent blah blah, just fcn ban him and be done with it all, we all know he fights in Saudi and America regardless, let's stop pretending him fighting here will change anything, without a Eubank or even a Brook, the masses ain't buying tickets to see Conor Benn, he's unanimously disliked surely

Being unanimously disliked is great for selling tickets

Hatton, Khan, Brook, in that order

That WBO title what does it mean? I could break the words down using chatgpi but might not be what the title actually means or how does one qualify to fight for it.

So it means whole world, 2 or more countries, and involved 5 continents

What does any title mean?

You qualify if your promoter pays for it
