Comments Thread For: Hearn Rejects Top Rank Offer For Burns vs. Crawford

[Weebler I]

Thought my post went thru this morning but I guess not. WTF is the point of a rematch if it's overseas again? If it was on neutral grounds ok but the fact of the matter is, it's not.

Don't worry, there will be no US judges next time, so we'll have some realistic scores. #carlosortizjr

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or what... Lol

Anyway, I hope Beltran comes juiced to the gills in the rematch.

Lets face it, if Burns wanted to travel to the US he would've done it already.

Why would he travel to the US if he can make much more at home? It's not rocket science.

Burns was offered a career-high payday to face Broner (which he turned down.) I wonder how much Arum offered him to fight Crawford?

Can't complain if its a rematch with Beltran first. Crawford was being booed in his last fight in the USA and is from Omaha, the money in him vs Burns is in Scotland when/if they fight.

If he's turning down Crawford to give Beltran his deserved rematch, no one should be complaining.

Pretty much this. Hearn is doing the ethical thing and also looking at a better pay day in Scotland. And if Burns' jaw isn't ready until February, this is a no-brainer for Hearn.

Meanwhile, Crawford can grab more exposure by fighting a solid opponent and make himself look good in the process.

I'm glad Beltran's getting another shot.

I'm not sure Burns makes all that much, even in Scotland, but this act about making more money in Scotland, than in America, only holds water if he can only win in Scotland and not in America. Win in America, and he gets Nike endorsements, TV appearances, BIG bucks, on and on. That kind of money doesn't exist in Scotland, so they need to quit with the get rich in Scotland getting beat about the ears thing.
