Comments Thread For: Warriors Boxing Wins Purse Bid For DeGale-Dirrell

[BattlingNelson]

How is it a silly comparison? $1.5million+ is a huge purse for these two fighters.

The fight was supposed to be at the O2 Arena which holds 20,000. Would have had Joshua-Johnson and Selby-Gradovich on the undercard. Potentially Mitchell-Linares too.

The O2 was sold out for Kessler-Froch II. I know that fight was PPV in both britain and Scandinavia, but their purses was also well above 1.5M. Furthermore one would think that Hearn would see this as more of an investment than a business fight since DeGale as World champ will bring in plenty of cash flow in the future and we all know that the chances of winning is way bigger at home than overseas.

In other words I think Hearn dropped the Ball on this fight.

Hearns messed up big time.

Are you seriously comparing Froch and Kessler to DeGale and Dirrell?

You then mentioned that they got paid more than 1.5million as if it's something to compare.

I see. You simply didn't get it.

Get what? There's absolutely no reason to bring up how much Froch and Kessler got paid unless you were using it as some sort of barometer which you clearly were.

I believe I was quite clear in the post I made. I reckon most people got it. You might also have gotten it and is just back at your lame trolling, or maybe you didn't get it and I cannot help you there. Maybe you should seek a refund for any tuition fees you might have paid.

Degale aint a big draw and Hearn knows it that is why he only bid $2.1m.

You were quite clear in using Froch-Kessler as a comparison to DeGale-Dirrell....yes.
