Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn 2 – contract concerns dismissed

When speaking on “Inside The Ring,” Eubank discussed certain aspects of the rematch not being agreed upon: 

“Yes, we agreed for a second fight before the first fight,” Eubank said. “But there are certain parts of the contract that are still up for negotiation. I’m not gonna go into what parts of those contracts they are, but we are in negotiations for certain things. So, it’s up to me and my team to get the best deal,” said a coy Eubank Jr.

When asked about Eubank’s (35-3, 25 KOs) comments, Benn quickly said: “Not my concern. I couldn’t care less. I don’t even know about it. I’m not even bothered.”

“He’s always had contractual issues; he’s always had promotional issues. He’s always had managerial issues. He’s always had issues in that department,” added Benn (23-1, 14 KOs).

“So, for me, it’s straightforward. I have my team deal with what they need to deal with. I get paid what I want to get paid. I pay what I wanna pay. That’s it.”

“You won’t ever hear me have no promotional, contractual issues with anybody. You won’t see me having problems with anybody, contractually,” said the 29-year-old.
