There are no purse bids for unification fights. Purse bids are only for mandatory fights. If Hearn wins the purse bid for Andrade, that's if they want the fight since they're talking about taking on two bums before, then BJS will happily take the 80% split from the purse and beat Andrade.

Thing is, will Hearn be willing to have his fighter lose his first fight under DAZN before he could make any money of him. We see what he's doing with Khan and Brook. Vargas will be fighting some bum as well in his first fight.

Maybe it was an exception, but wasn't there a purse bid for kovalev vs Stevenson?

Only because Duva went to the WBC and begged them for a purse bid after the WBC made Kovalev a mandatory. The only sanctionig body that is willing to make other champions a mandatory from other organizations is the WBC. Roman is the WBA champ so the WBA wont mandate another champ to unify.
