Comments Thread For: Andrade: We Need To Overpay Canelo, GGG, Charlo, Saunders For Them To Fight Me

[Caxcan]

Andrade has no one but himself to blame for the position he's in. He avoided step up fights like Jermell and Lara because he regarded them as high risk/low reward, but Jermell has since gone on to bigger things while Lara had already accomplished more. And if he can't land whatever ideal fight he's holding out for, the least he can do is stay busy. Williams is only his first fight since returning from covid and he previously fought only once in '20, '18, '16, '15,'14 You can't expect the public to get excited by a fighter unproven on the elite level who dines out on scrubs at a rate of once a year, maybe twice a year max.

Andrade is a catch 22 situation. He isn't much of a draw so he can't bring money to the table to attract marquee fighters and he can't attract marquee fighters because he doesn't bring money to the table. The only thing he can do is fight other fighters who don't bring any money to the table either. Part of his problem is that he has a boring style in the ring. He might be able to change that situation if he would do more fighting than boxing. It would also help a great deal if he could position himself to be the mandatory challenger for Canelo -- perhaps by fighting and defeating David Benavidez.

i dont disagree with you...heres the thing

eddie hearn holds one of the most valuable assets in boxing...AJ...he needs to leverage that or use it to get favors....he should be able to land andrade a fight people care about

But first, someone actually has to give a f*** about an Andrade fight to begin with. Yawn!

Yeah.... there are all action fighters. There are technically sound boxers who force action. Then there are the "B" level and club fighters who at least try. Then, there are fighters like Andrade that has no top level competition AND not even an exciting fight to hang his hat on. The guy is not must watch TV, and in the day and age of streaming services and boxing several times a month, that is death to a career.

[SweetPbfAli]

we need to pay GGG, canelo , saunders to fight him. lol. all those guys are the A side vs boo boo. they all pay you the highest purse you ever receive.

I think you misunderstood what he meant.

That is a good point. Hearn has done next to nothing to get him top fights. At a minimum, Eddie should push for a fight with Jacobs

[sicko]

Yeah but DAZN and Eddie have to see some sort of return to make it worth their while to overpay. Andrade I like but come on, he haven't shown yet that he is worth investing that big money in. He needs to destroy Williams on Saturday! Come forward, stay in the pocket be exciting and take care of business. You have to create the Buzz for those fights, fighting the guys he has fought while it is getting him good money, it is not helping his career in anyway. Williams is slightly better but even he doesn't excite anybody nor is it any BUZZ for that fight which is this week.

Andrade is dellusional or he has amnesia because he completely acts like he doesn't remember pulling out of the fight with Jermell Charlo at the last minute with no explanation. Boo Boo also can't remember avoiding the fight with Jermall who has been calling him out for over a year now. Andrade loves to fight low risk fringe contenders and collect checks. That is the lane has been riding in his entire career.

[1hourRun]

Its time for you to drop dem bans 'Boo-Boo'! Yeah, hunnid thousand!

[TernceBudCharlo]

For all you talking ****, I have just one question - give me one good reason why this fight should not happen
