Rumors that HBO turned down Andrade vs Derevyanchenko

[Mammoth]

Can anybody confirm this?

[chrisJS]

Whats the source?

Crazy decision if true.

Someone said that the other day to me. Idk if its legit or not. I'm curious if its legit as well.

I've not seen it be mentioned anywhere by anyone notable I know that. I wasn't even expecting or looking for a response so quick so maybe I just missed it idk.

Either one or both of them wanted huge money HBO couldn't afford.
Give them cab drivers and they'll say yes at the drop of a hat.
Especially Andrade.

HBO was pushing to make this for the undercard of Saunders-Lemieux..why would they turn it down?

If anything, Andrade either priced himself out or outright turned it down.

Both fighters had agreed to the fight & I assume some generic $ terms/% details. It was up to HBO from there.

Maybe one or both did price themselves out IF it got turned down, but Andrade was for sure willing to take the fight

What's up with Andrade fights always falling thru. He letting his career go to waste.

[Pigeons]

Disappointing if true.

He has a track record of this occurring, I'm not blindly putting blame on him.

Yea trust me I know. I call him the dumbest guy in boxing outside of James Kirkland. If I saw a "Boxer shoots himself in the foot" headline my assumption is its a high % chance its Andrade related.
