Comments Thread For: Hearn on Andrade Moving Up to 168: 'We've Got to Try and Make Something Happen'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Hearn, whose Matchroom Boxing has an exclusive output deal with streaming platform DAZN, says a significant reason why Andrade is moving up in weight is that there is little appetite from his broadcasting partners to see Andrade swap punches against yet another middling foe.

It will be interesting to see, still doesn't sound like he will move up to 168, still a lot of speculation.

Jacobs, Farmer, Hunter, Andrade, and Devin Haney! Nothing but mediocrity while at MatchRoom!

Zach parker is live yet relatively untested but comes out to close the show ....Andrade is awkward and pretty elusive = decent match up.

Be careful mate, you’ll enrage the hearniacs speaking that way. Information is a dangerous thing!

The fact remains, that Hearn can't get them fights!

Eddie Hearn unsure about signing Terence Crawford, doesn’t know if he has big fights to offer

“I’ve had a couple of chats with his management. The problem Top Rank had is they couldn’t deliver him the fights, I’m in the same position, being quite honest. Can I deliver him the fights that generate money, the fights that give him legacy, the fights that interest him? I’m not sure. So we have to really look at that and say ‘can we deliver for him on the level that he wants to, probably financially, and that’s the problem that Top Rank had.

“Terence Crawford is an amazing fighter, pound-for-pound great, but he needs a dance partner, and unfortunately for Terence, a lot of those dance partners are on PBC who will want to tie him into a long term deal for giving him that opportunity. Terence probably doesn’t want to play that game so we’ll see what happens.”

"Make something happen" sounds like too much effort for Andrade.

Andrade is with DAZN, Golovkin is with DAZN. How in the hell can't you make that fight happen?

It's one thing when fighters have different promoters and are on different networks. But when they are on the same platform and the big fights STILL don't get made then what hope is there for boxing fans to get what they want to see?

Must be that Golovkin doesn't want it unless he gets paid way over the fight's worth. And DAZN don't seem to want to pay that much.
