Top Rank were at the purse bid apparently. Which is probably what prompted Matchroom to up their offer to Saunders.

MW division heating up.

Some good news for a change, I assumed this fight was going to be killed off. It's a fight between two skilled guys who know how to fight stylishly. I think Saunders will take it. Interesting that it's in the US.

Top Rank was ready to bid in order to put the fight on ESPN+ (DAZN competitor)...

See how easy it is when Hearn's boy is the B side?
It's not all about the money at this stage for Andrade.
That's what Wilder and his Wilderites don't understand.

Should be a pretty good scrap. I am rooting for Andrade.

Am actually surprised that boxing politics didn't prevent this fight from happening.

I'll be very surprised if the excitement police don't cordon off the ring and evacuate the area after the first 4 rounds of non-stop non-action.

Still. Glad to see 'em both fighting a live body - it's been a while...

[Willy Wanker]

Good fight, I look forward to watching.

Hopefully it lands on that proposed Chicago show. Been wanting an excuse to go back to Chicago.

Great match-up. I like Andrade in this one.

So is Andrade still fighting in Chicago?

No Hearn confirmed on twitter this will now be a separate card. Probably LA

... "Hopefully, we can put the fight in my hometown [of Providence, Rhode Island]," Andrade told ESPN.

Good fking fight right here. Maybe won't be the most pleasing to watch but easily 2 of the top 3-5 guys at MW scrapping for a title.

Can't ask for much more than that.

So Jacob's fighting Derevyanchenko
Saunders and Andrade
GGG vs Canelo

And Charlo vs another bum of the week I'm guessing?
