    Good fight but at the same time one of Eddie’s bigger American stars will probably get beaten here.

    But I suppose it send out a message to some other Americans that ‘look, you’ll get well paid and you’ll get big opportunities’.

      Yea I completely agree.

      Shame Warren didn't turn up though!

        Not to talk down on Andrade, but that comment of him not traveling because he isn't the champion sounds as dumb as his name Andrade deeedeeee

          they are scared to come over here thats why. cause more often than not they come over here, get a pasting, and go back to america with their tail in between their legs.

            I was worried about Saunders (or Andrade) pulling it and pushing this back but at $2.3m Saunders won't be pulling out.

            I'm excited about this fight. Maybe the styles won't gel but it's a very significant fight between two excellent unbeaten fighters in their primes.

              Seems like it could be a good fight but everyone thought that about Lemieux!

              Eddie Hearn was worried that BJS had taken some terrible guaranteed payday from Warren to ensure he won the purse bid. Warren admitted this but said 2.3m was too high to turn down.

              Say what you will about DAZN, but if it’s getting more decent fighters decent paydays, then it’s a good thing. I can’t work out if Hearn is pimping out his U.K. fighters as easy fodder for US champs or whether he believes he can make a few new U.K. champs

                Think hes just winging it at the moment, scraping something good together. Tennyson and Galahad are in these fights though, much better chances than what McDonnell and Johnson have. Cant be a long term strategy though, or he'll ruin the UK side of things.

                  Saunders you have to go to US because in UK nobody will go watch your fights, let's be honest.

                    I'll be surprised if this isn't a boring, actionless fight

                      Errol Spence, Tim Bradley, Wilder, Winky Wright came to the UK and won.
