Comments Thread For: Hearn on Losing Andrade-Parker Purse Bid: It Has Absolutely No Commercial Interest in America

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Why does the self-described best promoter in the world keep losing purse bids? That question, in all its baldness, was lobbed to Eddie Hearn, the head of Matchroom Boxing, in light of Hearn's recent failed attempt to win the purse bid for the super middleweight bout between his charge Demetrius Andrade and Zach Parker. Hearn, to be fair, has won his fair share of notable purse bids over the years, but his recent track record has caused some observers to wonder why the well-heeled British promoter is becoming uncharacteristically tight with his money. Earlier this month, Hearn came up short in a well-publicized purse bid for the Tyson Fury-Dillian Whyte heavyweight title bout, losing out to Frank Warren of Queensberry Promotions, whose $41 million submission was a record and more than $9 million more than Hearn's offer of $32 million.

Man Eddie Hearn is just a complete idiot. If he'd get off carnelos nuts and stop overpaying him then he'd probably be able to get his guys some fights.

Of course nobody cares about this fight. These guys have a combined 53 fights between them and neither one of them has ever faced a legitimate world titlist in the ring.

As with any fight involving Andrade, nobody cares. No American should sign with this clown, he's a career killer. He has 2 talented Americans and does nothing for them. He can't get them big fights and just complains about other promoters or fighters.

He isn't overpaying Canelo, the man is the face of the sport. He just sucks at promoting American boxers, they take a backseat to his countrymen.

But I’m supposed to believe he offered Charlo 7 million? Saying it in an interview is one thing and faxing that paperwork is another thing.

[wrecksracer]

he's not wrong here. If you are looking for a profit, this isn't the one to bid high on.

He definitely offered 7 million. He gave mikey garcia 7 million to fight jessie vargas.

Dazn was throwing away money until last year. Its all over now tho
