Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders vs. Demetrius Andrade - Deal Reached

[nghtmr111]

Going to be a snooze fest of non engagement

I honestly feel that this might be the case lol

Glad to see Andrade in a real fight. Smart move to get with DAZN as Hearn was thirsty for legit US fighters to fill cards. Now he can sell this DAZN card to US and UK fans. Smart move by all since I'm sure BJS is getting a nice check.

Wow, Andrade finally doing something with his career

On Twitter both Warren AND Hearn say it will be in the USA

I don’t have access to twitter, what did warren say

Nice. Good fight this is.

It better be in the UK otherwise those dodgy judges will rip Saunders off unless he dominates like he did with Lemieux.

No need to worry, The people of the USA are the most moral, ethical. faif and unbiased people in the World.

Yea. And if you saw what I posted I said those guys telling me they wouldn't even make a TV deal. The fight is in the states and they agreed to the fight being on DAZN

Wouldn't make a deal of Warren won the purse. There wasn't a bid.

Take it whatever way you want .. erhmantrauts whole point was Warren wouldn't sell rights if he won the bid. I personally think he absolutely would of done lol money is money at the end of the day.

What I wana know.. is it's an 80)20 split in Saunders favour with the fight being in the US. How much is Hearn paying 😂😂. He did let slip he'd purse bid about 2.5 million for it to IFL earlier today for tonight's bids in Miami if they went ahead.

I reckon he's giving Saunders about 1.6 and andrade getting 400k with some on the side from matchroom or DAZN

I suspect frank warren preferred a deal to be done this way because otherwise the gulf in purse bids between the two would’ve come out!

Makes sense from Hearn perspective also for the same reason, better to keep the exact purse close to his chest

Their point was there was so much hate they wouldn't make a deal at all. I didn't think they'd be able to make a deal without a purse bid but I knew they'd be able to make a TV deal. Turns out the hate they were trying to sell isn't really there. They were able to make both a fight and TV deal.

Andrade probably already has an agreed purse with his DAZN deal for the first fight so I would imagine it’s really just a bid for bjs. Hearn has advantage that sky would also like this fight (even if silly o’clock) so this is a great example of where he really has there weight of power now with his sky and DAZN deals
