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

[yammy25]

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.

Money's money my man it always talks and bull**** walks.

Warren still hates Hearn lol but he's gonna take all the money Hearn throws at this fight . Having that fight on a BT card at his expense is a money loss.. BJS isn't a huge ticket seller and andrade certainly isn't here.. having it in the US with Hearn chucking **** tons at bj for his 80% and having it in the US with no costs to Warren is good business for him I guess.

Love to know the slice he gets from BJS purse.

The World Boxing Organization has advised BoxingScene.com that a deal has been reached for Billy Joe Saunders' mandatory defense of his WBO middleweight title against undefeated challenger Demetrius Andrade. A purse bid had been scheduled for earlier today at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida.

Per source, the #SaundersAndrade middleweight title fight will take place in the United States. Fight to be televised on DAZN. Great matchup

Living in the past there bud. Especially at HW. Wilder cant even sell out his backyard, where AJ is selling out stadiums. Just look at the gap between what they each make per fight. This is coming from an American too.

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

Warren was always gonna take the huge money Hearn was throwing out for this fight. He gets a nice slice of bills 80% purse that hearns put up and has no costs or expenses for production , arena rental etc etc. Easy decision for Frank to let Hearn chuck all the money he wants at it. Especially when Saunders is favourite.

Andrade better win this fight because he isn't going to get a Charlo Canelo or Golovkin fight.

So is Andrade still fighting in Chicago?

We will have to wait and see! I wouldn’t be surprised if this became a November fight and Andrade still had a warm up before it now

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

[Pigeons]

Suprised that this got made. Happy for Andrade.

[engleby]

bjs is not an exciting fighter to watch. but he dosnt get hit that much am betting on him to win by decision

If this fight is in LA they are going to get boo'd. Neither fighter is an action fighter. Gonna be a lot of posturing and LA fans like to see Mexican style boxing.
