Comments Thread For: Michael Hunter: Hearn, Sauerland Talked Triller Out Of Hrgovic Purse Bid

[joe strong]

It is strange to see a guy with his talent get dumped by PBC & Hearn. He sounds like the problem not the promoter. I think he needs to stop talking or Trilla will dump him too.

Hrgovic ain't no boggyman, he unproven and ain't fight nobody and he's already 29 been pro for 4 years. The IBF need to ordered Martin vs Hrgovic, Martin had a injury when the IBF ordered Hunter vs Martin and as for Hunter doing low risk high reward like 98 percent of these boxers and he going the wba route, Hrgovic need to Bakole or Arsanbek Mahmadov. IBF getting cold feet ordering a final eliminator months ago.

You know Bakole declined the Hrgovic fight at least 2 times I think it’s 3 now with the recent one .

Hearn again. Hunter vs Whyte in the Yucatan?

I like Hunter, I like his style and I like what I know of his personality based off of interviews. Boxing is a dirty business and it can be especially ruthless for those fighters not deemed "A-Side".

I thought the same thing about the fact that he's already been dropped by a few major promotions. I wonder how much of it is him, he could be legitimately difficult or he could be unwilling to allow himself being taken advantage of (in his mind) which then makes him look "difficult". I don't know the answer, maybe it's a little of both.

His story doesn't even make sense, he says Matchroom had to negotiate with him in good faith but they had a hard time doing, yes they had to negotiate with him, or it would go to purse bids, which it did. He talks about having no promotional backing regarding purse bids, its a purse bid, he'll get his split whoever gets the fight.

Find it very had to believe Triller didn't bid because Matchroom didn't want them to, more likely because Triller's audience probably have no idea who Hunter or Hrgovic are and its not worth the money it would take to win that purse bid.

The bounty ducker Hunter continues to lie why he ducked Hrgović.
What's going on with this dude?

[Slowhand]

Quack Quack.

He's telling the truth. If you listen to the entire interview his reasoning made a bit more sense.

He didn't have a promoter and naturally didn't have the resources to bid to win staging the fight himself, so he was going to have to fight abroad again for the title shot for probably a modest payday since there would be only one real promoter bidding. He was also worried about being intentionally jerked around and not given the date until the timetable wouldn't have time to assemble a full camp, which he said has happened to him in the past.

Out of nowhere Triller got involved with Hunter and expressed interest in bidding on the fight. Long story short, after a series of discussions with Hearn, Triller offered him a contract to move in another direction. He took it.

It was a good move IMO. He's in line to pick up a regional title and will probably end up getting paid more to fight in a title eliminator than he would have going over and fighting for the title.

So why didn't they bid on the fight? He was tied to anyone, he is a free agent. Hearn doesn't even come into it. I mean Triller bid on a fight (Teo Lopez v Kam) a fight that had promoters already. So why didn;t they bid on his fight with Hrgyovic?

This is almost up there with the excuses wilder came out with. Man I cannot believe what’s happened to these US Heavyweights.

gonna have to wait another 3 years until Anderson ready to be a man and represent.

Hunter is a duck. I don’t believe a word out the lying toe rags mouth. He lost his bottle and still can’t find it. Let him fight on an obscure channel. He will sell about 4 PPVS and 3 of those are mike Wilson’s family. Absolute joke.
