Comments Thread For: Demetrius Andrade on Verge of Being Stripped By WBO

[aldo5408]

So in other words Andrade is basically the American version of a Cuban fighter (signing to multiple promoters & managers at the same time and getting ****ed around ).

I looked up Vince Vaughn and see he also promotes (or promoted) Yakubu Amidu. Try to make sense out of that one.

No he said he couldn't sign with haymon because he was already managed by a family friend that is investing his money. It was on video from thaBoxingvoice where they ask him about Haymon. And why he turned down the charlo fight.
his promoter Is begging him to accept his fight proposals

**** him, when you are passing on fights because the money is not good and then complaining about "ducking" you know what kind of fighter he is aiming to be. Sad because he is talented.

If Andrade is stripped, the WBO will ask for the #1 and #2 to face off for the vacant title. It would benefit Soro (#3) if Canelo passes on the title shot.

the wbo is incompetent imo..they should go to canelo and say hey u havent fought at 154..we're forcing a fight on andrade if u dont want it we will give that to soro...SIMPLE AS THAT..but instead they're trying to stirp a guy bc charlo didnt sign a contract in january and bc mundine doesnt want a shot at a title that he doesnt deserve

I don't know what is going on here, but he hasn't fought in over a year and should be stripped. I know he backed out of the Charlo fight because of money. Funny how Golden Boy was already marketing and selling tickets to that fight before they actually had a contract. I should know - I bought the tickets. I wrote Golden Boy and they referred me to their lawyer.

Promotes or manages? Cause he obviously can't be both.

Oh, you WILL be a believer. Bookmark this for bumpage.

Who the hell promotes him anyway...?

His manager is Vince Vaughn. Yes, the actor.

Promotion is "Star Boxing".

This is all I could find tbh. But it says he might've had changed managers cause Ed Farris is/was his manager.

If he follows the route Kovalev and GGG took the fight with Mundine makes sense if he request that the WBC make the winner interm champ.

Isn't this the same guy who said he wanted to fight GGG, not now of course but down the line when it's some PPV mega fight? Fighters gotta realize that Mayweather slogan "hardwork dedication" is a mantra he lived for years upon years before he became the cow.

Boo Boo is friends with certain Uncle Al fighters like Thurman and Porter....quite sure he's heard about the money they get so I think that's a reason he might be over pricing himself outta fights....no secret, he wants to get down with Uncle Al and the PBC gang...same with Mikey, he want some of that PBC bread as well

That is the problem with the Haymon model, at least in the long term - paying boxers way over their actual worth.

[mathed]

Such a shame because Andrade has real talent. Too many boxers with that pedestal mentality think that they are superstars above working hard anymore. Laziness and pride are cancers that will leave you in the dirt at the end of your days.

He has a wold title? News to me.
