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

[yammy25]

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.

See I was under the impression that Jacobs has one fight left on his HBO contract which will be derevyanchenko and then he can make the move over to DAZN.

Honestly.. certainly if Canelo won and the opportunity came for a unification with Andrade, Hearn would definitely let that fight go to HBO unless DAZN bid ****** money and signed up for a dual broadcast thing.

Hearn did say at the DAZN launch that if the big big guys come along with PPV opportunities that outweigh what DAZN would bid or provide.. then he would let then go to another broadcaster for that opportunity.

Hmm interesting, who will make the first move? Good to see the best fighting each other though, both these guys spend too much time being inactive, Saunders lost all the momentum after schooling Lemieux and Andrade never fights.

It's true Jacobs has 1 more fight left on the deal but Eddie isn't looking to sever ties with HBO. He has a good relationship with Peter Nelson the executive, he wanted more dates with them but budget constraints meant it wasn't moving fast enough.

Real Good fight , didn’t think it’d happen

Lets go BJS

Andrade did goodbye signing with Hearn even though I can't stand the snake he got the man a title shot he's been needing for a while.
This is a very interesting fight both are fast, have good reflexes and can box. Probably the toughest test of each other's career and I feel it's at the right moment.

This fight has potential stinker written all over it, boring as ***. I dont get why ya are so excited here. Only thing refreshing is the fact that Andrade is facing a live body but stylistically, him vs Saunders might be real boring.

Andrade has to be the aggressor cuz if he foolishly lays back and tries to be a counter puncher, they gonna stink out the joint..

Gaurantee 100% 12round stinker fight

I'm surprised that the fight will happen! Now Andrade can prove doubters wrong! WAR ANDRADE!

[chepboxingking]

Wow. Didn't expect this fight to happen. Really good fight but has potential to be a snoozer. This fight wil say alot about both guys

[McNulty]

The purse bid was Friday, Andrade wasn't moved on to any other fight, and Eddie Hearn is sitting on at least $250m over the next two years.

Outside of an 'in association' mention before the main event, maybe, there will nary be a mention of Frank Warren at any point in the evening.

Call that what you want

What are you his alt or something? I'll call it what it is and what I said it would be thank you very much.

WBC WBA IBF made a big stink about Warren and Hearn working together and I'm right once again.

Besides Don King in his time, the only promoter that had a hard time working with people in the past was Top Rank. Everyone else seemed flexible to a certain degree. Somewhere down the line the Top Rank thing turned into everybody has a hard time working with everybody and that's just not the case.

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

But will BJS get that decision on Hearn stream network?
