Comments Thread For: Hearn: Saunders-Smith Must Be Bigger Before It's Worth The Risk

[P4Pdunny]

Didn't realize that you were a UK poster haha.

and yeah, People will root for BJS to lose, but he's so unlikable that he's more likely to just turn people off the fight entirely.

Hell, I enjoyed the Fury/Wilder stuff but there were two days where Saunders was involved, talking **** and throwing chicken and running away like hes some 12 year old youtube prankster and I was just annoyed by that too lol. I think at this point the guys face annoys me lmfao.

Lool yeah I just post, I don’t really see the sport through a country bias.

BJS is something else but seeing his son whack Monroe in the balls and then when forced to apologise say “sorry for hitting you in the nuts” tells me everything I need to know about him and his people. He does have an annoying face if he couldn’t fight people here may goad him so often lol.

lol what risks?

Canelo's financial rewards would be far greater than GGG's for any one of them.

I'm sure GGG would fight any or all of them in a heartbeat for the same money as Canelo would get.

neither ggg or canelo will get more money to fight those guys over less risky fights... by hearn standards canelo or ggg should not make those fights when they can fight less risky opponents for the same money...

By Hearn standards?

Is the risk/reward concept an Eddie Hearn invention?

nope, but is the concept he is using and defending, those are the standards he is using to not get a fight made...

You are making an apples to oranges comparison there.

Canelo has a contract with DAZN. Smith and BJS don't. Whatever Hearn payed them to fight each other would need to be covered by gate income and license fee/PPV sales.

Last month, Smith turned down a 50/50 offer to fight Saunders on BT because he said the money wasn't good enough. That's a pretty strong clue as to why Eddie thinks he needs to "marinate" the fight until next year.

hearn is using dazns budget, do you think ggg-serg generates enough money to pay ggg 15 mil and serg 5 mil??

[ShoulderRoll]

Eddie Hearn is going to let this one marinate.

Hearn wouldn't be using DAZN's budget for BJS vs Smith. It would be a Matchroom UK/Sky show, like Whyte/Chisora, with DAZN having first refusal rights, which they might not even bother exercising.

The Irony is Bjs' fan(singular) said he was being ducked when he was doing his usual of calling for the best while promoting his next bum fight vs boxcar shefat. Bjs claimed as hes done countless times that he wants all the beltholders & called out Smith by name for a supposed immediate showdown,yet once again Hearn is publicly admitting him & his fighter are ducking in favor of fighting complete bums while holding that p o s WbO belt hostage, always the WBO for billyjoel because they don't care about testing whatsoever & have actually turned it into a marketing gimmick to attract bloated ped cheats like Saunders whos still refusing vada & whom moved up all the way to lhw after being caught with powerful stimulants trying to make weight at mw. Varcacel from the WBO literally uses no mandated testing as a marketing tool by saying they don't wanna step on toes by mandating a cbp.(granted the wbc cbp is mediocre at best,but far better than wbo no program)
