Comments Thread For: A Year Later, Demetrius Andrade Remains Odd Middleweight Out

[Iron Fister]

same for GGG, who will not get in the ring with Andrade either

[x23shots]

Looks like joining DAZN has done nothing for him

[Tosaken]

GGG and Canelo obviously don't want to fight Andrade, that has been proven because both have had opportunities. These two have fought guys like Vanes M, Rolls, Amir Khan, Zafara, etc.

In the meantime, people will say Andrade's resume is weak, blah blah. I think he should fight Charlo next. If he beats him they can't continue to ignore him.

Andrade can't get the fights he wants but people seem to forget the fights that fell thru at 154 because of him. He doesn't have a great resume and he is partly to blame because of that. Still, I'd like to see Golovkin or Canelo give him his shot. I don't think Andrade would win but I want to see those fights regardless.

At least I know... You just make up s*** you have no clue about. Canelo was offered $30M to fight Derevyenchenko he was offered $35M for Andrade. Last I knew that's $5M more. Your the one that claims Canelo was offered less to begin with... Prove it! And not some bull**** rumor.

BSht!!!! I read that sht. Never fkn EVER heard more you lying Kunt! Why would he be offered more??? Damn you dumb!

Desperation talk is all it is, who in their bright mind offer more money to fight Snozz fest, Andrade? this dude is the classical moron that has no idea what boxing is or the politics surrounding it. Or worse yet this idiot read the same article and in his hater mind twisted/omitted that word to fit his agenda.

Do you even understand what a guarantied purse is? Canelo is making 35 million regardless, his contract stipulates that in writing. So no Canelo was never offered 30 mill for Derevyachenko, the problem with that fight is that mother efer Haymon wanted to take money out of Canelos purse, Canelo/GBP offerer 5 Million and Haymon, Finkle & Derevyachenko wanted 10 million same as Jacobs.

Yes I understand what a guarantee purse is. And I agree that Canelo can make $35m to fight almost anyone EXCEPT DAZN didn't want the Derevyenchenko fight they wanted Andrade or GGG or Kovalev and they do have the right of refusal of an opponent so they agreed to approve Derevyenchenko PROVIDING Canelo took less money to overpay Derevyenchenko but they wanted GGG, Kovalev or Andrade in that order.

This is why I cringe whenever reading a Keith Idec article. He goes on and on about how supposedly Andrade is "willing to fight everyone from 154-168"(where have I heard that before?)

Then Idec goes on to provide no examples of proof whatsoever that Andrade is actually interested in the best unless its Canelo & Ggg.

When a fighter is actually interested in facing the absolute best to establish themselves & become a star attraction,they are relentless with calling them out in the media nonstop,they most importantly are willing to sacrifice & make concessions in order to land the big fights,they will try to shame the other fighters as chickens etc.

Meanwhile Andrade is already going on 32 yrs old & best opponent is a legit C level,he never has made concessions to land the big fight,he never has been linked with negotiating or sending offers to anyone besides Canelo & maybe ggg(who did actually duck him). But according to Keith Idec Andrade is supposedly the most avoided 32 yr old boogieman prospect in history, somehow everyone is ducking him despite him doing absolutely nothing known to land fighters big fights, especially fighters with god awful styles like his whom bring no reward to the cashcows whatsoever,(even if Nelo beats him hed likely win by decision & would be discredited 1 way or another as a robbery,or as Andrade being unproven etc.).

If someone was to have been unaware of everything in Boxing & read Idecs article they'd assume Andrade was sending offers with concessions to all the top fighters,& that he was doing what fighters like canelo have been doing his entire career,but is just being blackballed; & thats complete bs,look at how after fmj schooled nelo & everyone said hed avoid Lara like the plague,but he make several concessions to prove himself & reestablish himself even though Lara offered the most fan unfriendly style on earth & brought virtually nothing to the table besides being the most difficult legacy fight at the time.

(& Haters still ignorantly say Nelo didn't win by at least a few rds)
