Mark Shapiro: Conor Benn's $15 million Deal Covers Only One 2026 Zuffa Super Fight

TKO’s COO Shapiro said Benn’s reported $15 million Zuffa Boxing deal is only for “one fight in 2026” as part of planned super-fight events, not the Paramount+ card series. He blamed Eddie Hearn for “stirring the pot” and said Sela, led by Turki Alalshikh, funds the purse, “no different” from Canelo–Crawford. TKO expects 2–4 super fights yearly, starting next year.
