Comments Thread For: Hearn on Andrade: 'I Can't Deliver Him The Fights That He Needs'

[hhh1200]

Issues -
Charlo 154 10 yrs ago vs Rocnation deal
Offered a fight Quillin pullout but had to go straight up to 160 on short notice for 1/3rd of the 1.6 mil purse. Setup to get beat.
3 fight Showtime Deal with Lara at the end which Espinoza till this day has never even talked about


Bad
BJS nasal sprays himself out of the fight to sell his belt to Canelo
Charlo and Shields turn down between 7-10 mil
GGG's equity in-network protects him from the fight. Plus he has to be saved for a Canelo KO
Mungia drops out his mando
Canelo passes on an undisputed fight to fight Sweet Cheeks on the other side of the street
Benavidez's dad said we need 7 million minimum guaranteed to fight him.

DAZN refuses to pay for Janibek b.c the fight leads to nowhere. Fanboys think Andrade should pay for the GREAT Janibek's purse
Parker fight delayed b/d Andrade isn't ready for camp, out of shape. Go watch his youtube channel. He has been traveling for the last 2 months.

The crazy thing is, after Rocnation pulled the rug on him, he could have signed with Top Rank. That is the mistake. Everyone after lil Charlo pretty much goes away or his career looks a bit more like Crawford's

This guy cant sell. No one wants to fight him. It's no ones fault honestly.

That was for peanuts though.

That was for peanuts though.

I'm aware it was a 200k undercard fight for his belt while Haymon was paying Charlo 500k. And people forget that was not the version of the Charlo we see today, was the version who literally threw no punches in a Vanes robbery?

Hearn put the money up for Charlo and Mungia. Show me where they make that kind of money fight to fight. What does that have to do with sell when DAZN covers the purses? Janibek fight for the fanboys is the one DAZN refused to pay for.

Lads who have been watching the sport for a while remember a fighter named Winky Wright. He was awkward, tough to beat, and didn’t have the typical casual fan base pleasing style. Yet Vargas, Mosley, Taylor, Hopkins etc etc still fought him. This is a sign of just how bad boxing has gotten with the “I don’t want to fight him because he might beat me” mentality and Hearn has really fed into this. There is no reason why andrade shouldn’t have fought either ggg or Canelo by now, it’s absolutely shameful on those fighters and their sham promoter’s part. Andrade was a fool to ever sign with Hearn as is any American fighter. If you’re an american fighter you’re better off signing with Queensbury over matchroom if you want to fight in Britain

Anything close to a 50-50 fight, and Hearn's wallet seizes up. He let Warren have Whyte and Canelo have Smiths, but who wants Boo Boo?

[STREET CLEANER]

All that ability and nobody cares to watch him fight. His career has been mismanaged, I know that it is prize fighting but they geared everything to get paid instead of making a case for him.

Lol Canelo turn down PBC for other reasons. Let's not act like PBC doesn't show the love for all fighters from different backgrounds. A Mexican man named his son after Al Haymon. It's not like Haymon is being accused by his Mexican and Caucasian fighters of being racist. That's only a fantasy on message boards.

LOL you’re making this a race thing. The fact that fighters like Canelo clearly prefer to fight with one vs the other doesn’t necessarily mean one is good and the other evil. and I was speaking about promoters. Al Haymon is no promoter, he’s an advisor. Tom Brown, the promoter, made the offer to Canelo. Btw, Brown was also the promoter for Canelo-plant. Canelo had worked with both Hearn and Brown in the past and clearly prefer to work with Hearn instead.

I agree with this but do you think he signed with Hearn because he felt that it may give him the inside track at either the Canelo or GGG fight? To be fair, he's mismanaged his career but it is also combined with bad luck and people just outright freezing him out

A combination of quick money and the belief that signing with the same promoter as those two would lead to fights. I definitely maintain that BooBoo has BooBoo for brains because his entire career is a sham and he has a pattern of making the wrong decisions and now he has given his prime years to a promoter that was hostile to him
