I hear Hearn plans to offer a double of her last purse.

So many people criticising hearns two fight deal, but depending on how the fight goes a rematch is the best but option for both financially!

if they move on to fight someone else how much would they get?

[Buggy bear]

Sounds like this guy wants unobtainable guaranteed money and let someone take all the risk , matchriom are way to wise for that

Almost sounds like a duck, like with the men, Spence saying he wants as much as 80% of the cut against Crawford.

It doesn’t matter. That’s the reason a lot of fighters who are not with matchroom don’t want to entertain fighting on dayzin under Hearn because he makes demands on fighter’s careers. He makes these multi fight contracts as part of the fight package and then when boxers don’t want those options he goes to ifl tv and spins up a whole “ducking” campaign to the “time to put the kettle on” casual crowd. If anything he should just be honest and say he wants fighters from other promotions to sell dayzin subscriptions in the USA for him

Yeah, this is what I was going to say. She's pricing herself out of the fight.

LOL.

I suspect my cousin who's always going to one of these payday loan places could pay double her last purse if push came to shove.

Its a business. Its a negotiation. You don't go into a negotiation talking about wanting 10k when you want 15k. You go in talking about 20k when you want 15k. Thats just how finding your number works man. Might look like ducking or pricing oneself out to civilians or those who don't realize whats happening, but everyone with skin in the game or knows the game knows the rules. And sh^t sometimes you even go in asking for 20k when you want 25k cuz you know there are other things that are gonna be added to the deal so you know you can raise your number higher when those things come into play. And sometimes you know you can get 20k elsewhere so 20k is just the minimum you are gonna take. This ain't as simple as not wanting to make a fight or wanting to make a fight. Its a business where you always wanna be finding your max value cuz your days are limited.

I hear Hearn wants to put in a rematch clause. Even though his fighter is neither the champion nor the A-side.
