Dana doesn't have a promoter's licence in the UK and it's as sure as sh1t that Connor's not gonna be a massive draw in the states.

Does not matter. The board can issue a licence in a heartbeat. Failing that,there are plenty of licenced promoters he can pay a fee to promote Benn. The only language boxing people understand is £££££

Exactly this. Take him about 2 minutes to get his own licence, or someone to work with him.

Wouldn't have thought so, but who have Zuffa got for him to fight? Even if they sign someone, does Benn vs TBA fill a stadium? I don't see that filling Wembley. Do you John?
