Comments Thread For: Hearn Expects To Part Ways With Andrade After May 21 Parker Bout: 'We Tried Everything'

Goodbye and good RIDDANCE!

This is very sad. My heart goes out to this kid. Nobody wants to fight him. Also, now since DAZN is under a more stringent and limited budget; They can no longer afford to pay him what he wants and keep him on their roster. I can see Matchroom releasing even more American fighters from their stable as well.

I like how diplomatic Hearn manages to sound, even with an impending break-up. Compare that to Arum's toxic comments about Crawford.

Andrade gets serious stick for his resume and rightly so, but compare his 31-0 to Julio Cesar Chavez's when he was 31-0, and Andrade's is a million miles better. Shame Andrade didn't fight in the older era, and retire with his 31-0 record, just like it is now, he'd probably be regarded as the greatest to ever lace them up, and Keeler, Williams, Quigley, Sulecki, Akavov, and Kautondokwa classed as amazing wins. Nash out. We must respect The Great Nash.

So Andrade did shamelessly duck Jahnibek. That’s why he moved up a division. Eddie has done awful. He’s fed certain guys to Canelo as food and made them feel as though he got em the big fight. Hearn is hedging his bets on AJ. His output goes down dramatically when AJ doesn’t have belts and is on the losing side of the column.

No one wanted to fight Andrade it seems, Golovkin and Canelo never mentioned him as an opponent and Charlo is with the PBC, who don’t seem to want to make a fight. The contest with Billy Joe Saunders falling through (BJS failed doping test), if he won, was a big chance to turn him into one of the bigger names. You‘ve got to give it to Hearn, he’s one of, if not, the best promoter in the game at this moment in time, but obviously couldn’t come good for him.

How? What stars has he made? Don’t say Joshua. Sky sports made Joshua. He isn’t the best promoter right now. That’s a ridiculous statement. There’s only one promoter with several fighters that are capable of running divisions. That’s bob arum.

[James Hunt]

Even if he signs with Almighty, Charlo still won't fight him.

[Liondw]

A pretty sound comment from Eddie.

To be fair, he tried to get Charlo for Andrade, but it seems that PBC is difficult to deal with, and also some guys don't want to take risky fights it seems.

Did you even read the article? Hearn said he couldn't deliver Andrade any top fighters. And that it wasn't Andrade's fault.

He also said Andrade can't draw. Which is more of the bottom line. No way to entice big names when your guy can't even pack a high school gym. Andrade has no personality just an entitled attitude. He better hope the fight isn't close because the fix may be in.

Haha, you’re so anti Hearn it hurts!

He was the promoter all through Joshua’s career, sure Sky helped, AJ ducks no one and all of this has helped create his massive profile. It’s not just down to a promoter to make someone a big star. Imagine if Tony Yoka was promoted by Hearn? Both Olympic gold medalists but AJ has progressed much quicker than he has, in regards to how long Yoka has been a pro (I’m not dissing Yoka). You can pick any fighter/promoter combo that hasn’t worked. Look at Crawford/Arum? Sometimes the chemistry doesn’t match the potential.
