Comments Thread For: Burns: If I Win, Hearn Will Push For Omar Figueroa Shot

[Corelone]

Burns sells out arenas here and makes big money, he's not making close to that anywhere else.

I'll have to take your word for it, I didn't mean to rile the Scots. It just seems to be a struggle to lure a champion, even though you think you can beat him. If that's the case, go get the title, then defend it at home. He's not the only one who wants to get rich, and he neads to increase his stream of income if he plans that. An International fanbase is that extra stream. HBO, Showtime, those are like the Nile floods.

He moved over to Showtime in his last fight. To set up the fight with Hopkins next.

He fought a lesser opponent for lesser money than Kovalev.

Smart bidniz doe.

Ah, Stevenson looking into that Crystal Ball of his. The Seer of Seers.

All good man, I'm not a Burns fan at all....he's rather ****.

I think he's at the end of his career and purely looking for the biggest possible paydays, selling over 10,000 tickets at home nets him good money so it makes sense. HBO and the likes won't care about Burns, at all.

Burns will get stopped by Omar, mark my words.

To set up a Hopkins fight which will make the Kovalev money look like pocket change.

Definitely a smart businessman. Just like Ricky Burns.

[Grimmer]

Yup, I can see Hearn handing Ricky his ticket to the states and a pat on the back as he sends another one of our crop over the pond to lose, like lambs to the slaughter.

What paid more?

Kovalev + Hopkins or Forfarna + Hopkins?

Dat math

Nah but he'd get beat up, Omar can't deal with movement Burns just goes backwards to the ropes/covers-up if he got his body attacked enough maybe he'd go but more like a 12 round drubbing

Good luck Ricky...from an English man...why not...good fighter,good man
