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

[PBR Streetgang]

Interesting fight. I imagine a very tight, chess match with alot of posturing, feints and the occasional counter landing. Both fighters have underwhelmed on more than one occasion. I cant believe I'm saying this but if both are motivated and in shape, I think BJS edges this one. I could be wrong on the prediction but I'm definitely looking forward to the fight if it happens. While it may not create fireworks, it has relevance and should be technically compelling.

That's true yes sky do receive DAZN cards as part of the two way agreement. I was more using it as an example albeit a nonentity of one.

Must be some major money from Hearn for Frank to really not put up a fight in the purse bids to control rights. Either that or its what I think and his plan all along was to take hearns money for very little effort on his part

He's not shy to back his fighters when he thinks they will win easy. He knows BJS can't sell tickets at home anyway, Saunders won't drop the belt and BT won't be that fussed about landing the fight if it's a 4am job.

Fury, Dubois, Yarde and Frampton are the marketable guys who Warren will fight home advantage and network for.

Yeah without a doubt.. although the competition of Dubois and yarde right now really makes them undesirable to another network wanting them anyway unless it's a matchroom fighter that has a promotional machine behind them that makes them worth bidding for.

Buatsi Vs yarde for example ends up on sky all day long.
If fury fought Whyte or Joshua that's sky all day long..
Even if he fought wilder which would always be stateside .. Finkel and Haymon would be ****** to allow Frank the UK rights for boxnation as part of the deal.

As main promoter if I were Finkel I'd say nah **** you bid for it against sky.

Yeah it'd be nice for Chicago to get some love and a nice big card .. but something tells me they're getting Vargas and booboo Vs Billy Joe is going elsewhere. Shame.

I just saw this

Told per source that #SaundersAndrade likely headed to Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island. The balls on Saunders to, as champion, travel to his opponent’s hometown twice in a row - incredible. That’s a champion #SaundersAndrade

Very intriguing scrap. Hope US TV picks it up.

It's on DAZN in the US, that's the only reason Eddie paid for it.

Saunders UD he's the better boxer.

That'd be quite nice for boo boo of they can fit a good 10-12k in there..

As for coppinger on BJS. Any champ has balls when they're getting triple of what they'd get at home.

Who you got? I got BJS on points

I'm leaning towards BJS. Would rather see him win because if he does he's open to fight the other 160lb champions. Andrade is stuck on DAZN while Jacobs (if he wins) is on HBO and Canelo and GGG are on HBO.

Are you serious?
