Nigel Benn fighting again at 55 - contracts signed

[Mark TKO]

I suppose it all comes down to how they all are financially.

If Benn does surprise us all and does ok - looking good when he does it- then you can see what will happen.

But in boxing's defence a lot of other sports have a 'seniors' tour and events so if they want to why should anyone stop them

Benn has just built a 10 bedroom house in Australia so he's definitely not doing this for the money.

[Mark TKO]

I'm not doubting Benn at all having financial motives. I'm completely convinced he has 'stuff in the basement' and is raring to go.

It's the others who may follow.

Hell if Benn eubank III fought next year on ppv I'd be a pre ordering now!

Whilst Benn is financially rich he is not boxing for the love of the sport or to clean up whatever demons he has if he was not being paid his worth.

Training hard, getting up for morning runs, putting your body through a lot of pain you will ask yourself "why am I doing this?".

Knowing that you will be getting a huge amount of money eases the pain. He will earn more money than anything else he will do in his everyday life. That is what motivates and drives most people. He is "fortunate" at his age to be able to box and demand an interest in him. If he is a success watch his old foes come out of the woodwork and ask for rematches.
