Show Notes
In this special extra episode me and Matt discuss the ongoing Conor Benn saga.
We first discussed it when the news very first broke but have deliberately kept our powder dry since because no new information had come to light and we're not in the business of indulging in pointless speculation.
But last week saw some revelations so we decided it was time to address what has become one of the British sport's burning issues.
We know all the parties involved, Conor Benn, Eddie Hearn and Board of Control Secretary Robert Smith have all been on Macklin's Take, but we have no personal allegiances in the matter. We tried our best to look at it from the perspective of those parties and try and work out exactly how the whole situation was allowed to become the PR disaster that it undoubtedly has become. And to identify the lessons that can and must be learnt from it all because one thing we can all agree on I think is that there have truly been no winners in this, none at all.

Hosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...
