    Michael Hunter withdrew from Hrgovic talks to fight on Triller instead

    The fight is a WBA heavyweight eliminator as well.

    Is it still considered a duck? He is likely going to end up making significantly more money.

    I’m disappointed in any fighter who turns down an eliminator. Fair enough if you feel you can make more money elsewhere but don’t go crying about a title shot when you’ve turned down an opportunity to earn one. Case and point: Dillian Whyte.

      He is fighting a complete nobody cruiserweight. He said he was taking a different direction to a title fight. What he means is a longer route against easier opposition for less money.

      Its a massive duck. Its the American way these days. All yank fighters do now is duck, take easy routes and clout chase while smack talking about fighters they have no intention of fighting

        Disappointed is the right word. Hunter is still in an eliminator but it's a garbage fight.

        And he managed to make REDEEMER look good so **** him.

          Hunter was only going to get paid $363,999.60 for the Hrgovic fight.

          Not sure what his Triller purse will be but if it's substantially higher can you really blame him for taking it instead?

              I'm cool with fighters going somewhere else to get paid. You're getting your head knocked in, and your shelf life is limited - so your window for earning is small.

              Make that bank for yourself instead of lining the Promoters pockets with more.

                Mike Wilson who none of us has heard of I'm sure, yeah I respect Michael Hunter he is a guy you root for but NO this is a sh%t fight and yes it is a DUCK of Hrgrovic especially considering who he is fighting instead

                If he is getting just as much if not MORE to fight this guy that Hrgrovic then OK but a win over Hrgrovic would've let to a even bigger fight and Payday. I win over this Wilson guy does absolutely NOTHING for him
