Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: I Have a Promotional Option on Julius Indongo

[Fabes88]

No i agree. But Burns sells tickets ...mostly in Scotland, but still, he fills his venues... and we can never underestimate a promoter's greed.

He does but not at the level where he'd risk his promotional reputation on him like he may do for someone like Joshua for example

Greed has made people do ****** things but I'd like to think Eddie isn't that dumb.

Well mate Burns was world champion so yes it does ....simple answer to a daft question .Not to say Burns was the best champion that ever lived .Just a decent boxer with a good chin and massive heart....but like i've said this lad will take a very top level fighter to beat him ...like a Crawford!

I'd bet the house on him not remaining with that world title for very long, not a testament to how good 140lbs is, I just ain't sold on him.
Don't know enough about Lipinets, but I'd not be overly surprised If he lost to him.

I wondered what all the Crolla talk was before the fight.
There would be a massive size difference though. You'd imagine Crolla would take a beating.

Those fees surely should be dependant on how much the fighter is actually making, owning a world title shouldn't be a financial constraint.

I'm sure they adjust those fees accordingly but still a % to 3 Belt Organizations takes a Toll on a guy that is not making "MILLIONS" like Pacquiao or Mayweather

Crolla is a courageous man, he would be going against the odds again... and bigger odds. I'm positive he has the heart, but I'm with you, by KO. Crolla is too easy to hit. Indongo needs to move on... Eddie needs to let it go. Rematch clause turned promotional option turned leech.

[sicko]

Crolla is on a 2 fight losing streak please stop with the Crolla BS that would be a ***ing JOKE and a INSULT!

Taking step aside money for a unification bout is one thing, taking it for a guy one division below who just got his ass WHOPPED TWICE would be a DISGRACE!

I hear you ....as impressive as he was prior to that there's only limited footage of him ....but he looked like a mountain at the weight and has Burns said is very heavy handed ....be careful with the house.

Ohara supposed to be on the June 3rd Dillian Whyte card next, last thing I see him tell Josh Taylor to get his people to contact Hearn he wants him next, although thats probably out the window now

He could still fight on the June card.

Not sure how long James DeGale was supposed to be out for, but I'd assume it would till at least August/September.

Doubt that Davies is getting put in with a killer next ayway

02 is already booked for Degale, hes fighting July 1st. Whytes said announcements coming Tuesday for the June 3rd card.

Thanks, and that's good to know; if that's the case, the turnaround is likely a bit quick for Indongo, so Davies can keep to his Whyte date, with the possible fight moved a later date (making the Lipinets mandatory even more likely, tbh, as Davies is Hearn's only other top fighter at 140lbs).
