Comments Thread For: Andrade: I've Been Fighting Mandatories All My Life; It Gets Sickening; Let's Get Marquee Names

He’s definitely his own worst enemy in how he has conducted himself and his career and no one forced him to sign with the knobhead Hearn but you actually have a point. He did seem to have more backers on here when he was signed with hearn. People really lit into Charlo and they were saying Charlo needed to fight on dazn but those calls seem to have totally dried up. I wonder why?

Because neither guy has done s**t at MW or SMW where guys like Plant is fighting top guys. Where Canelo is collecting all the belts. You got these 2 who haven't done a damn thing since their days at 154. It's obvious they won't fight each other, both rather beg for a Canelo fight. I don't blame you, the race goggles are on, you can't recognize the truth, it's color first with you clowns. I notice for an "anti-racist" you focus a lot on skin color. Odd.

In 31 fights you’ve fought just 2 mandatory challengers.

The man is a legend in his own mind for sure and now he speaks as if he had little time left and he’s probably right. Shame he didn’t have that ambition the last decade

[War Room]

You turned down crucial opportunities when they were presented.

Now you're a 35-year old former titlist who has no fans. Why would anyone fight you? No value in it.

OWNED

I remember a few years back he and his team held a press conference at a local gymnasium in Providence (his hometown) and it appeared no fans and maybe two reporters were present.

Andrade is talented. He fights in a risk averse style. He can't even generate buzz in his hometown. He has not taken the chance to make the big fights happen and has just expected them to fall in his lap.

He hoped the WBO strap was going to get him the big money fights (which is why he was content fighting nondescript mandatories for big money) but it did not.

Good luck Demetrius but you really only have yourself to blame.

The day Andrade retires boxing will be a better place. He’s everything that’s wrong with modern day boxing.

Yea, chasing big fights is what's wrong with modern day boxing. Boxers looking to fight the best, not cool lmao!

From my thread: What does Andrade have to do to get a big fight though?

Andrade calls Jermall out, Jermall says "soon" and "when you get your stuff together". Well, they got 7M as an opener ---> then crickets.

Instead fights...

Brandon Adams	$700,000 (including ppv share)	60%	2019
Dennis Hogan	$750,000 (including ppv share)	60%	2019

...for peanuts.

But really.

One of the Jerms say they want to fight, right here! But does the fight ever happen?

Catches Clenny McButerol at a presser, all of a sudden this cheating Irish fake Mexican speaks English?

Andrade even had a shirt made calling Clenny scared LMAO!

Andrade gets 12 or 15 million for GGG, again ---> crickets.

Andrade in Kazakstan putting on traditional garb trying to call out GGG again! Even calling them Cackistan lol.

Andrade even getting GGG in the ring right after one of his fights lmao!!

Calls out GGG, yet again rofl!

GGG says Andrade should fight Charlo instead of me WTF!

But as far as helping me into a GGG fight, a Canelo fight, it’s not happening. He tried to help with Jermell Charlo - he offered seven million dollars, no counter offer.

Demetrius Andrade claims that Canelo Alvarez was offered a shocking $40 million to fight him in 2019, and instead of agreeing to a career-high payday, he went and fought Sergey Kovalev for less money.

Now with DAZN, Matchroom, Eddie Hearn was supposed to deliver the big fights, offered Charlo 7 million dollars to fight me, offered Canelo 40 million, which was $5 million more to fight me.

Demetrius Andrade didn't want to "waste" any more time. The former WBO middleweight champion will turn 35 next month. If the 2008 Olympian is ever going to secure the more meaningful fights he wants, Andrade realized he would have to give up his 160-pound championship, move up to the 168-pound division and align with Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions.

This dude is proficient at fighting tune ups.

This guy is a clown. So Deméter Roy’s , you mean to tell me Desmond Nicholson is a “marquee” name

[anonymous2.0]

Even fighting Shane Mosley jr or Gabriel Rosado would be more meaningful then fighting this Desmond Nicholson.

[-Kev-]

In Andrade’s twisted reality foregoing Janibek and Parker because they were just mando’s or whatever and not the names he wants, but then fighting Demond Nicholson, was the right call for his career. Amazing.

Reminds me of him saying Erislandy Lara is too boring and won’t come to fight, and claimed that Jack Culkay was a better fighter. Or when he left Charlo and Showtime hanging on a contract because Roc Nation told him they’d pay him more money to pull out of that fight.

The guy just has no concept of value and how to make himself valuable. He doesn’t understand putting whatever names he can get on his resume, would lead to the bigger names. That concept has flown over his head since like about 2013.

Jhanibek and Parker, no matter how they looked in their last fight, were ranked top 10 by The Ring. Jhanibek is also a name hardcore fans know and they like him.

Andrade just doesn’t get it.
