About damn time! Andrade knows where the fights are! You want Charlo and Benavidez? Then you know where to go!

I think we know that Andrade signing to PBC doesn't guarantee him those opponents, just like being with DAZN couldn't guarantee Canelo/GGG/Munguia. What we've learned is that boxers still have enough control to choose who they will or won't fight. Nobody is going to choose to face Andrade.

Andrade just needs to focus on beating Parker because that will put him in a power position at 168. He needs to KEEP WINNING!

This is great news. He can come to the PBC. There's Charlo, Benavidez, Plant and Dirrell.

Something badly wrong when you can't even deliver in-house fights.

And this here is simply the bottom line.

[Oldskoolg]

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.

What other American fighters do they have besides Haney?

[Oldskoolg]

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.

Agreed, the Top Rank/Queensbury combination is doing big things in the sport. Undeniable

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.

I wouldn't say that he has no personality. He just doesn't have the typical brash personality of black fighters. Andrade is quirky but nobody got time to promote such personality when most fans don't enjoy your style inside the ring and as a result, most media dump on you which gives other top names the perfect excuse not to fight him. Boo Boo has always been in a tough spot and yes, he is partly to blame for it.

For all those reasons, Boo Boo will most likely never enjoy the media push and fan push to get big fights like a Loma or GGG. For example, see how a Coppinger/Mannix had been pushing HARD for a Loma-Kambosos and a Canelo-GGG 3. They never had that kind of energy for Charlo-Andrade or Andrade-Munguia. It is what it is!

For all his bluster Hearn does struggle getting meaningful fights for a lot of his stable.
yep not a fan of Mr me me me

Tbh, its not so much nobody's fault as everyone's fault.

Andrade is a boring watch, although that's just my opinion. Some may totally disagree.

The biggest share of blame must go to DAZN, however. That they had Canelo and Golovkin under their au****es on mega contracts without ensuring they took on anyone of note bar Kovalev and Derevyanchencko (who nobody knows but hardcores) is just an absolutely phenomenal failure.

How are you gonna have all the major players at MW and these MFs don't fight each other once?

With the exception of maybe Top Rank, That "same promotional entity" s--t doesn't mean anything AT ALL. He'll be avoided wherever he goes. Barely any real men/fighters left in the sport.....
