Comments Thread For: Ryan Martin, Terry Flanagan Aim To Shake Up WBSS Tourney

[Scipio2009]

What does Hearn have to with this? He doesn't represent any of these fighters. I would think Taylor/Flanagan would be an enormous fight up in Scotland. Regardless though, the fighters get to pick their opponents, so the promoters won't have a choice but to work together on these fights.

We'll see. Eddie Hearn having the big deal with DAZN, after already being featured for the WBSS along with Sauerland and Schaefer, would leave me with the impression that no real favors will be done for Frank Warren, tbh.

We know that two of the four fights are already set. If you think that fighter and promoter aren't considering the pick together, that's on you.

Barry McGuigan is Josh Taylors promoter

I know. Eddie Hearn doesn't seem to have much of a problem with the McGuigans, but that can't be said for Frank Warren.

Either way, Flanagan will either get picked to be the opponent for Taylor (where McGuigan will run things from Scotland) or get picked to be the opponent for Prograis (with DiBella running things from Louisiana).

That's not how the WBSS works. Schaefer promotes the US fights and Kalle the rest. Promoter gives up involvement in the fighter when they enter.

We'll see if that's how things play out.

And how do you get Flanagan to Scotland? He wouldn't leave home for Orlando, an easy fight he could have safely taken in Puerto Rico. And you want him to go to Taylor? A side trash talk coming up.
