[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There may be more than just corporate politics at play preventing Demetrius Andrade from a bout with WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo.

Espinoza is only saying this because he really wants to make charlo vs benavidez on showtime.

Too bad jermall doesnt

[TyrantT316]

Nobody wants to risk losing to Andrade

[wrecksracer]

They are at the same weight class, and both have belts. Neither has a significant fight lined up. Both are in need of a major win. Espinoza is full of crap

Andrade’s time passed after he turned down a couple good names, including pulling out of a Charlo fight a month before the fight due to wanting more money.

After turning a couple good names down (Charlo, Lara), Andrade’s career just didn’t pan out the way Roc Nation led him to think and he started calling out those names he had turned down and no one was interested anymore. No one wants to fight an untrustworthy clown.

Who’s Andrade ducking these days? Zhanibek? Isn’t Andrade a little too old to still be ducking dudes?

'That fight isn't as exciting as Charlo vs Benavidez' OK but since Charlo won't take that fight how is that relevant?

He may have a point that Andrade's time has gone though. He's pulled out of so many fights that some in the industry aren't keen on dealing with him, he's not a draw, and he doesn't even have his belt now. Yet he'd probably expect a big payday for facing Charlo or one of the other champs, which he's unlikely to get.

Resigning with matchroom in effect killed his career. Hope he’s made insane money with the “I will sign anyone and pay them for nothing” era of dazn that coincided with the “American takeover” because he’s never again going to make any serious money with dazn, pbc, ESPN etc etc. he did it to himself, he has no one but the man in the mirror to blame.

That's boxing for you l,smfh. Neither one is going to fight Benavidez,especially Mall so Fuhc him,Fuhc Andrafe and fuhc that little rat faced twat Espinoza. 2 of the most underwhelming careers ever for such talented fighters.

[killakali]

Espinoza is speaking facts. The time has passed for Charlo to fight Andrade but it’s the perfect time for Charlo to fight Sulecki

[Boxfan83]

If neither has some sort of an advantage they aren't taking the fight. This has become common them from certain fighters.
