About this episode
The episode discusses Conor Benn's transition from Matchroom to Zuffa and its implications for the boxing landscape in the UK.
There’s clearly a lot more to this Conor Benn and Matchroom relationship than we are being led to believe because Conor would’ve made good money with Matchroom, and so for him to leave and move to Zuffa, and essentially relocate his whole career to the United States tells us that maybe the garden wasn’t as rosy as people made out. You never saw them being particularly close which is always a red flag. It’s the same with Anthony Joshua so you feel like Conor Benn moving to Zuffa Boxing has left Match very exposed and very devoid of star power in the UK.
