For telling Demetrius Andrade and his father to leave the press conference. That's your fighter. Long before Canelo, GGG, or any of these guys signed with Eddie Hearn, Demetrius Andrade signed with Eddie because he trusted him. His old promoters, Star Boxing, could not get Andrade the big fights. He signed with Hearn to get the Glolovkin or Canelo fight, but it seems like Hearn is trying to stop him from getting these fights.
Eddie has a duty to look out for his fighter, Andrade. It's not his job to kick him out of Canelo Alvarez press conferences.
true. Perhaps I have an English bias here bc I understood what Andrade was saying, but I didn't feel that his tone could be misconstrued as disrespectful even with the language barrier. It was just a matter of him not wanting to take questions from Andrade and letting him know this is his spotlight. I understand why Canelo got upset, I just didn't think he needed to get riled up like that.
As for Hearn, I don't think Hearn handled that poorly honestly. He just said it's not the place for this and he's not wrong; let Canelo enjoy his victory.
Cmon, Andrade was trying to insert himself WHERE HE DIDN'T BELONG.
Or do he have press credentials ?
It's a grown folk business. Act like you got some sense, 'drade
He pulled a bums move.
1) We know Canelo wants undisputed vs plant next. Andrade's intent there was not serious, he doesnt expect the fight, he just wanted to make noise sohe could look good. like 'i put it on him and he didnt have anything to say'. plus get a bit of attention.
2) Eddie didn't tell Andrade to leave, but Eddie, like all of us, could clearly see that Andrade left himself exposed to humiliation in that situation. He has no hand to show and just came out with an empty bowl begging. THAT is not how you demand a fight. I'm certain Eddie didn't tell him to do that, he did it of his own volition and it back fired.
3) Eddie stated that he would be interested in Chris Eubank jr vs Andrade in the UK. That fight completely makes sense. I'm surprised al haymon just like Eubank go like that too, i mean Eubank vs ANYONE is a great fight, Eubank is entertaining. He may have flaws, but he is good to watch, a come forward fighter who is flashy and not scared to trade.
That was a terrible and classless way to get a someone's attention.
I guarantee you, Nelo would not have stooped so low and if he did, MFers would be in here dogging him for acting like a fool.

felt the same way. Canelo started cussing and making a bigger scene of it than it needed to be. I get his frustration, bc that is his presser, but it escalated way more than the tension in the room dictated. Andrade actually handled himself good. Coppinger was extra cheesy about it afterwards like a tool, but that's a different topic.
I respect the honesty and keeping it 100
I thought it all went quite well - very boxing - but I said this already.
I am hard pressed to believe Hearn didn't put the guy there.
It lasted the right length of time, lots if swearing, and it was the highlight if the press conference.
If Eddie Hearn didn't arrange the whole thing then he should be ashamed of himself.

As a Canelo fan I didn’t like how Canelo handled that situation...I’m disappointed that he wasn’t more gracious about it :( . Andrade wasn’t disrespectful, I mean in a sense he was because he was taking away from canelos moment, but how he addressed wasn’t disrespectful. But at the same time Andrade has talked **** about him and maybe Canelo had enough, but still I wish Canelo would’ve handled it differently...like he did when Lara crashed his press conference.

What a legendary resume looks like (and I'm a fan) -
Shot to bits Broke
Some dude with a million letters in his name
Shot to bits Con
A patsy named Jose
A part time teacher
A patsy named Julius
Felix somebody
Shot to bits John John
One hit wonder Viktor

Yep I heard him saying this, but not sure what more people expect from Hearn. He had Canelo next to him, it was Canelo’s post fight presser. And he is the number one boxer etc
Boo Boo is doing what he has to do, Hearn hasn’t done his job for him but we all also said those words in regards to Jacobs and BJS. At the end of the day we just hope someone steps up to fight Boo Boo.
Hearn cannot force anyone to fight him. 7m couldn’t get Charlo to fight, DAZN cannot force GGG to look that way, everyone wants Canelo to fight every single of one these guys… Cheesh
You do know that when you say "who has Andrade fought" you are dissing on Canelo resume right? Sulecki is a bum? Andrade shut him out 12-0 and dropped him in the first round. Well then, he almost beat Danny Jacobs who almost beat GGG. So them 2 great wins for Canelo must be bums too.
Akhavov is a bum? BJS almost lost to him. So BJS must be a bum too.
Willie Nelson is a bum? Willie Nelson knocked out Tony Harrison who has a win over Jermell Charlo, who Canelo ducked.
And let's not act like Boo Boo didn't dominate EVERYONE in the amateurs, including Keith Thurman and others.
Why the **** should Kingnelo put money on that BLM scumbag's pocket? Who has he beaten? Why isn't this bum calling out his own "bruvvas" for a fight? Shartlo and Plant are there. Always want the easy money, but never want to work hard for it. It's just in their blood; always want everything for free. Doo Doo ain't ****. I'm not even a boxer, but I know I'd rock his ****in' bells in less than a round.
First of all, what does BLM have anything to do with this??? Andrade is not a scumbag at all, he's an upstanding class act. Who has Andrade beaten? Who the f*** has BJS, Yildirim, Smith, JCC, Kirkland beaten?? Andrade's been calling out everyone and no-one will fight him.
His number one job now is retain Canelo and develop a long-term relationship with him. Canelo is THE needle mover not Andrade. Harsh but that's just how the game goes.
Money talks bull**** walks ....
Don King arrived with Frazier's entourage and went back to the hotel in Foreman's limo. 'Harsh but that's just how the game goes.' Don King never walked.
How can you tell your own fighter to leave the room? You are supposed to be looking out for Demetrius.
demetrius was his fighter before canelo fell into his lap....canelo is canelo and hes going to do whatever he can to suck up and keep that thing going.....a plant fight for canelo is bigger....and they can take out some of the comp in the process.....hearn is slimeball of course....its nothing new...andrade was just a nice little signing for him to add a name to his talent roster when DAZN was getting its feet wet...andrade doesnt move anything and hearn could care less...i bet hes annoyed with andrade ...not like his actual actions or anything...but andrade is prob more of a nuisance to him now that canelo is in the picture
did not see or hear this but it wouldnt suprise me...as others have mentioned hearns #1 goal now is to suck up to canelo and keep him happy...hed much rather have canelo get a big fight with plant at this point
he has failed andrade but andrade has failed himself too....its hilarious that hearn, who has a top prized asset in boxing in AJ, cant leverage that into getting andrade a fight.....theres more money in plant/canelo rn and canelo can go beat the competitions fighter instead of one of DAZNs own....

LOl you sad cvnts can't stand it that the Hearn train rolls on and even the biggest star in the sport wants him at his side.
Is Andrade even plying his trade at 168? No and he knows as we as everybody else Canelo has eyes on Caleb Plant next.
Canelo had just unified another title, he just crushed the skull off an unbeaten champion and he didn't want Andrade out there trying to take over his post fight interview.
Andrade's resume is a joke. You don't earn a lucrative fight with the biggest star in world boxing just by showing up to the post-fight presser trying to stir up some drama. He needs to earn it in the ring by beating someone of relevance because right now there is a whole list of more deserving names ahead of him in the pecking order, and a silly t-shirt isn't going to change that.
