It most likely going to be against Turreano since they had a bidding period and what not... but since he didn't outright say it, I won't assume it

It most likely won't be Johnson, a Shaw fighter. Or did Shaw win that purse bid? Jennings, another Shaw fighter declined a fight on the same bill.

Shaw won the purse bid.... I had my doubts about Johnson because of what I heard... but unless the IBF orders another bout/purse bid and everybody agrees it'll be on there in the time frame... it'll be Johnson

Well it's not really a WBA mandatory also. You know it's gotta be for more money than the $12.5k Shaw put up.

I would think so.... also don't know how it's a WBA mandatory since the WBA mandatory is either the regular champion to the super or interim to the regular... but it's WBA.... so it's w/

I think they should push for a strong Irish undercard. They have O'Kane, GB should add Jamie Kavanaugh and Jason Quigley.

Quigley could be there untelevised... Kavanaugh just signed with MGM... who knows.
Quigley should be on there though

Johnson tweeted that he was a free agent around July 21st. Even thanked Gary shaw, then that was deleted. He has been VERY quiet on Twitter since.
Damn, N'dam made $51,000 from a purse bus with Lemieux and Lemieux probably made $3 million after his promoters gave him extra $ for being a draw.

Shaw won the purse bid at $12,500 so Johnson has $5,000 coming his way O'Kane $7,500 and I'm sure golden boy and K2 paid Gary way more than that.
Gary does no work, doesn't have to put the fight in a casino on showbox and makes a bit of cash.

Or Johnson ducked this fight to sign with Haymon and make six figures to fight janitors while O'Kane gets the next available opponent...

O'Kane is a bum. Perfect opponent for Ducklovkin.
