    No surprise and I love it. This is a quality quality match up. Two top 5 MWs going at it. Winner has to be in play for the GGG/Canelo winner.

    I'm going with Andrade in a close decision, but this is pretty much a pick-em.

        Hearn has two Middleweights getting title shots. I'm kinda surprised this fight is happening.

          Certain Warren fighters are contracted to fight on BT Sport in the UK, that will be deal sweetener for Frank, he openly said the other day he does not give a **** what TV channel in the USA shows the fight.

            Sounds like this is exactly why I put the OP on IGNORE. Learn how to read you fùcking twat!

            Agreeing to TERMS as the tweet you posted says isn't part of a purse bid. I can't see your reply so don't even bother mong.

              I assume this might become the first ppv big event in November ? (Not really ppv, but what there referring to as equivalent of)
              Obviously needs other fights alongside?

                Good fight this. A good one for DAZN too.

                  Andrade a top 5 middleweight? Are you high?

                  Based on what? He has had ONE fight at middleweight - versus a mediocre ShoBox fighter, Alantez Fox - and he got knocked down before winning a decision.

                  Yes, Andrade is skilled, but he's been fighting at 154 - and his resume isn't even that good there. What's his best win? A split decision over Vanes at 154? A 12th round TKO of Willie Nelson at 154, who had already lost to Vanes? Neither of those wins makes him a top 5 middleweight? In the biggest fight of his career - a title shot vs Charlo - Andrade was a no-show. He pulled out of the fight.

                  And hate to burst your bubble - but GGG and Canelo both have exclusive contracts with HBO. Since Andrade has an exclusive contract with DAZN, he won't be fighting Golovkin or Canelo anytime soon.

                    Agree with everything you said other than the final part.

                    If HBO offer good money.. or any other network for that matter that Hearn can't or won't match..he will let fighters fight on showtime or HBO if it's in their interest.
