# Eddie Hearn Calls Rival Broadcaster ‘Pathetic’ After Receiving Legal Letter

Eddie Hearn has revealed he has been on the receiving end of a legal letter, this time from a broadcaster whom he used to work with directly.

Matchroom had an exclusive partnership with Sky for the best part of a decade, however left in 2021 and is now affiliated with streaming giant DAZN.

In a recent interview with Boxing Social, Hearn explained his former partners had sent him a legal letter regarding comments he made about Chris Eubank Jr fighting Conor Benn instead of Liam Smith – which he quickly doubled down on.

> “I know Sky were disappointed and I think they sent another legal letter about my comments about Chris Eubank against Conor Benn. Unbelievable, it’s pathetic.
>
> I don’t care, it’s boring. He lost the first fight, no one wants to see the rematch. What we want to see is Conor Benn against Chris Eubank.
>
> I don’t know the contractual situation, is that possible? Not a question for me. But who cares about Liam Smith against Chris Eubank.
>
> Let’s make Conor Benn against Chris Eubank – it’s massive.”

The rematch between Eubank Jr and Smith, which was due to take place on July 1st, [was postponed last week and there has been no update as of yet whether or not it will be rescheduled](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/liam-smith-chris-eubank-jr-rematch-off-for-july-1/).

Despite being incessantly linked to big fights, [Benn is currently provisionally suspended](https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/12861811/uk-anti-doping-agency-confirms-conor-benn-drugs-charge-and-provisional-suspension#:~:text=UKAD%27s%20statement%20read%3A%20%22UK%20Anti,the%20UK%20Anti%2DDoping%20Rules.) and awaiting a hearing with UKAD to determine the future of his career and whether or not he will be forced to serve a ban following the positive tests for Clomiphene and the subsequent information he has gathered in an attempt to clear his name.

As well as the revisiting of a date with Eubank, ‘The Destroyer’ has also been linked to a fight with former welterweight world champion Kell Brook, with whom [he got involved with a scuffle](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/conor-benn-and-kell-clash/) at the Katie Taylor vs Chantelle Cameron fight in Dublin.
