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

[Boxing Beast]

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.”

Bob Arum is getting sued for not being able to make that fight as well. Do you think Eddie is a bad promoter? Where would you rate him among other promoters? I see him as not the best but not the worst either. If I was an English fighter he would seem like the way to go for me.

Eddie seems competent, however he has his fighters on DAZN, and he can't even make fights with GBP, i.e. Haney vs. Garcia, and Bivol vs. Zurdo! He can't even make GGG vs. Andrade, and they're both with MatchRoom! He can't make BJ Saunders vs. Andrade either! If you can't make in-house fights, then maybe this game is not for you?

Janibek looks quite good, figures that Andrade would want something easier.

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

For real. Btw why didn’t Jacobs vs Andrade ever happen?

What do all those guys have in common? Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn is sucking Canelo off, and trying to get Bivol and GGG fights with Canelo. He has already gotten Luke Campbell repeated shots at championship fights. What's wrong with this picture? I've already known that Hearn was the biggest liar in boxing and now I know he's a racist, too.

Things aren't working out at 160 so it makes sense to move up. He can try to become a 3 weight champion even if he still can't get the big names to fight him.

I don’t understand why andrade thinks he can force canelo to fight him. Hearn is filling his head with nonsense. Andrade has done nothing in the sport not even beat an opponent the caliber of a derevchenko. Canelo ain’t fighting mandatories. If he wants a big fight why not unify with GGG. The share the same promoter same network affiliations same weight class. Hearn just trying to keep them all on deck without fighting each other as food for nelo. Matchroom is the worst promotion in boxing.

3x paper weight champion. Won vacant belts at 154 and 160 fought no one of relevance in either div all he does is cry he’s not getting fights him and snake oil Eddie like why not unify with golovkin I just don’t get it lol. Maybe canelo will fight the winner of that it would that would be appealing

[MPA2000]

There are just people who don't like this guy and I cannot fathom why? If you watch the Youtube videos he is in the face of Charlo and Canelo asking to get a fight, and they kick him out of their press conferences.

Then his naysayers keep saying "he hasn't fought anyone". Then I bring up the press conferences and they are like " that doesn't mean anything. What has he done to try to make the fight happen?".

What the heck does that mean? The best way to make a fight happen is to go directly to that boxer and tell them you want to fight them. Am I missing something here?

Supposedly there very good friends.
