All well and good winning a purse bid, but you gotta put the fight on afterwards.
Get them in the ring ASAP, or sell it to Turki or Matchroom.
You're exactly right and the reason why those gloating about Hearn's apparent 'L' at the time were speaking way too soon. The sentence quoted below is key, the amateurs who 'won' the purse bid have wasted a month on an unviable location before accepting they need to move it to the US to recoup their money.
Economics also played a significant role in the decision, given the fight’s price tag in relation to a typically run independent boxing event in Puerto Rico.
