Comments Thread For: Jack Catterall has set his sights on Liam Paro after beating Regis Prograis

Eddy never deliberately knocks off a cash cow, even a potential one. Something else is happening. I think people want a superman to walk through their foes, like Tim was supposed to be, and hard work is not selling. As if anybody can do that.

I don't know and do not understand. They managed to get Devin Haney to come to Australia twice and pay him and Kambossos well enough, but they cannot get a decent payday for Liam Paro against Hitchins? Paro has to go to Puerto Rico to fight a challenger?

Kambosos had a higher profile than does Liam. Would Liam be able to sell enough tickets in Australia by fighting at an unusual time over there? I don't think he could. Not only that, but Arum lost money on those fights. Promoters are not in the game to lose money. They want to make it.

I don't know why Liam is fighting Hitchins in Puerto Rico as he's American. But hey, at least both of them are travelling.

Fighting in Australia isn't good for the DAZN subscribers worldwide. It's the times. They could do what Tim did by fighting at a time where it makes it possible for fans to watch in the evening. But are they prepared to do that?

Based off his performances against both Regis Prograis and Josh Taylor. Who were both shopworn fighters by the time he fought them. Jack Catterall doesn’t stand a chance against Paro.

I thought that was the case. I am Australian and the world title fights are always a big deal here, but the fact that Paro had to go back to Puerto Rico again to fight a challenger to make decent money means that somehow Eddie could not pay him enough for a fight in Ausrtralia. It is very strange. I do not understand. Somebody suggested they could not get the government to support them (meaning pay them).

If I was on Paro's management team, I would not let him go and fight Jack in the UK. Short of Paro knocking him out he will lose on the scorecards. Your hometown 4 point advantage wipes him out at the start of the fight. The problem is Eddie will offer significant money that will be difficult for Paro to get elsewhere.

Catterall clearly beat Prograis though?? Where are these robberies in the UK? This isn't the US where they rob everyone blind like it's going out of fashion.

I had the fight 9/3 for Catterall. Prograis even got the KD that was a slip. The punch didn't even really land.

This is the same Eddie who sang Boots' praises, then allowed the Germans to win the purse bid for his IBF mandatory. Hearn is a weasel of the lowest order.

It'd be obvious Eddie is trying to get Paro knocked off. He's afraid a promotion in Australia will be hard for him to totally control. Catterall vs. Paro is an excellent fight. I slightly favor Catterall. Hitchins should test Paro, but I don't see him beating Paro.

If Paro gets past Hitchins I favor him pretty big over Catterall

Paro isn't getting the velvet glove treatment and I have nothing but respect for him. No silver spoon and most of all no apron strings. He's hunting giants, he gets the island enhancement point and it's not his island.
