In Part 2 of The Pain Game, we go even deeper into Conor Benn's explosive move to sign with Dana White and the brutal fallout for Eddie Hearn. Is this a calculated escape from boxing politics, or a dangerous leap into unknown territory? We break down the financial power shift, the legacy risks, and the potential fights that could define or destroy Benn's career. Pride is wounded. Alliances are fractured. And in combat sports, loyalty means nothing when power is on the table. This isn't business as usual it's war behind the scenes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As is so typical in this sport, they're going to give us the superfight. They're just going to give it to us about 10 years too late. Such is the case with Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, which will go down May 16 (yes, May 16, 2026) at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. Perhaps the biggest surprise of all is that the people giving it to us aren't the UFC, but Most Valuable Promotions — and the fight will air on Netflix. Let's be clear: This seems inadvisable. It likely won't be competitive. But it's probably going to be a big, big deal. Guess you can't say Jake Paul and Nikisa Bidarian don't swing for the fences. Plus, Zuffa Boxing signed Conor Benn for $15 million for one fight. Hey, UFC fighters, are you paying attention NOW? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's a SWERVE in the boxing promotional world as the new start up, Zuffa Boxing, in the U.S. has snatched away British prominent fighter Conor Benn from U.K. based Matchroom Boxing.We had a spirited discussion on this weekend's "Fight Freaks Unite Recap," as host T.J. Rives particularly is criticizing the terms of the signing by Zuffa and how it hypocritically contradicts their supposed "revolutionizing" boxing promotions with their own system, fighter pay model and ignoring the boxing organizations.Insider Dan Rafael provides his counter points, but also agrees and is questioning how Zuffa can justify the apparent ridiculous money that Benn is getting for a "one off" fight with them?Benn is off his career best win defeating Chris Eubank Jr. in their rematch last November. And what about how he left Matchroom, whom had stood by him, including financially, during his PED suspension?Enjoy this portion of the Pod and a reminder to hear the whole show, just click the previous podcast on this feed.
