Because I know for sure that Andrade turned down a fight with Sergiy on the Saunders/Lemieux card.Last edited by Street15; 04-16-2018, 06:09 PM.

Yes. It was supposed to be for sometime soon but HBO offered less for the fight total fight purse (500k) than they did in December (800k) so Sergei's side turned it down.

All I know is that it was presented, but HBO didn't want to pick it up.
And before that, Andrade blatantly turned down the Sergiy fight.

The money for them to fight in December was fine.
“And then the offer was reduced by three-eighths this year, and it was never offered for a particular date. It was like, ‘Well, if we’re gonna do the fight, this is what we have in the pot.’ We were never told, ‘Here’s the time, date and place.’ It’s also very difficult when you’ve made a deal with a fighter at a certain number, to reduce that total pot by three-eighths and think that it’s gonna be easy to close the deal. But that being said, there wasn’t even a firm date or place discussed.”

I'm tired of there alwaaaays being some excuse for Andrade though. He blatantly turns down his shot at Charlo in 2014. Get's stripped of his belt in 2015 for inactivity. Decides to leave the country and fight Culcay for peanuts, for $106,000 to become regular WBA champ. Leaves the division for no reason - Leaves the 54 division after fightin' so hard to be Lara's mandatory. Decides to sign an exclusive HBO only 3 fight deal.
There's just always something with him and his team. There's a reason his biggest fights at 54 are Vanes and Culcay.
There is a COMPLETE difference between fighters like Andrade and fighters like, let's just say Austin Trout. Trout never makes excuses, never turns down fights, always stays ready. He fought probably the toughest 3 fights in a row ever (Cotto, Canelo, Lara - back to back to back). Fights his way back into contention, take on Jermall and in a very competitive fight. Takes 17 months off and immediately takes on Hurd (no excuses, no tune-ups). And is about to take on Jermell in 2 months. The dude and his team have NOOOOO excuses and are alwaaaays willing.
