Conor Benn roasted by fans for asking for an undeserved WBC Welterweight title

Conor Benn is fried by fans on social media today because he said he wants to ‘That WBC world title.‘Presumably Benn (23-1, 14 COs) refers to the WBC Welterweight title held by Mario Barrios. It is the most feasible for Conor.

Benn’s best chance of getting a title shot for the WBC belt is as Turki Alalshikh throws his weight behind it by financeing a fight. Without Benn beating one of the Stop contenders for that belt, like Devin Haney, fans would have a field day that mocked his undeserved title.

Benn’s WBC title call

However, he did nothing to earn to fight for the WBC welterweight title, given his weak resume, and a loss with him. If Benn got a title shot, it would be more because of the business. It makes the sport cheap to have fighters gave title shots just because of their popularity.

Fans don’t see Benn as a chance to fight for the WBC 147-Pond title soon. Barrios is scheduled to defend against 46-year-old Manny Pacquiao on July 19.

If Pacquiao gets his hands on the belt, he will probably want to fight Devin Haney or Ryan Garcia in a title defense. These two are much more popular in the US than Conor Benn.

He is only a household name in the UK. American fans would not bother to pay to see a circus level fight between an old Pacquiao and Benn, whose best career victory came against Chris Algieri.

Benn’s weak resume investigation

– Chris Eubank JR: L
– Peter Dobson: W
– Rodolfo Orozco: W
– Chris van Heerden: W
– Chris Algeri: W

The match -promoted Benn (28), 28), comes from a unanimous 12 -round decision to Chris Eubank Jr. In a middleweight fight in April. Benn reportedly received a $ 10m (£ 8m) wallet, which is a large amount of money for a fighter with so little experience.

Business on Sport: Benn?

This is clear why Benn targets the WBC title. There is a lot more money for him to earn, especially if Pacquiao catches the belt next month. Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis evacuates IBF and WBA Welterweight titles are now on the standings.

The IBF ordered Paddy Donovan and Lewis Crocker to fight in a title Eliminator. The fight is expected to be for the vacant IBF title. The WBA ‘ordinary’ welterweight champion Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero is believed to be increased to the full WBA championship status, and will be expected to defend against the overdue mandatory challenger. Shakhram Giyasov.

Again, Benn nowhere is making close to the same money fighting for the IBF or WBA belts. If Giyasov ends up with the WBA title, it’s a fighter who would have a hard time trying to beat. He is much more skilled than Conor and would eliminate him like Eubank Jr.

I want it @Wbcboxing world title
