Comments Thread For: Hearn Offers Charlo One-Fight Deal For Andrade May Unification

[N/A]

Pardon my ignorance but haven't both Eubank and Derevyanchenko fought on DAZN?

Yes and when you're the B-side, you cross the street for the bigger fight. Now Eubank wants Charlo, so he crossed the street to get him since Charlo is the A-side. That's how boxing works.

$7M is a good deal. I don't know what Charlo is pulling right now, but $7M and "unified champion" on your resume is something you should go after if the terms are good. Not a fan of his antics with Deontay Wilder, but Hearn has consistently thrown good deals at PBC fighters. I hope some business can get done so we can see some good fights.

That’s a good way of looking at things, he isn’t getting that sort of money at PBC for sure. And it’s for a unification as well with no string attached, well apart from the strings attached to these muppets by Haymon it seems.

What I don’t get is, Haymon is meant to be their adviser, he is supposed to work for them.

But Haymon main priority with his top names is his own network deals with FOX and Showtime. And some of these guys rely on him so much, and they trust his judgement.

Im not talking about Charlo having Eubank and other options on his side of the street.
What I'm saying is this is a career high pay day by far for Charlo so he should take it.

Thank you for your uneducated inexperienced amateur opinion.

It isn't a career high pay day by far. It's likely a career high pay day by a couple million and also comes attached with a future option. My educated experienced professional opinion is that it's not worth a couple million bucks to cross the street and have everything stacked against you, only to then get stuck with a future option if you manage to knock the guy out and avoid getting screwed. Not to go fight a B-side in a fight that really wouldn't be that big of a fight.

If Charlo is going to cross the street, it's going to be for Canelo or GGG. Period. Not for the guy they're ducking.

Make it happen. One fight and get paid. I dont care about promotions I just care to see the best vs best.

True Story...

The Winner is positioned to fight the Cinnamon Man...

Andrade will get a big fight on Dazn anyway, but they want it for all the marbles, why not try to unify 160 again

[STREET CLEANER]

Don't care how they get there make the fight.

That is a lot of money for two fighters with no fan base. Good fighters but not marquee names. Andrade really has to fight a named fighter before his prime is gone.

Where are you when we calling out pvssy-g? Where are you when we calling out l0m0?? Where are you when we calling out Nelo???

All you dudes come out certain times....

First off, I avoid calling fighters names like that. They fight in the sport I love and I give them the proper respect whether or not I am a fan of theirs. I've criticized both GGG and Canelo when it's warranted. As for Lomachenko, I've haven't spoken of him much at all in either a positive or negative light.

So, I have no idea who you are lumping in me in with when you reference me as "all you dudes". I know it must be hard for you to grasp but some people enjoy watching fighters regardless of promotion, network or any other silliness.

Now we are going to have the “Charlo wants Canelo name on the end of the Andrade contract”

[HitDontGetHit]

Some of these comments?

I believe this would be a very good fight. I read a comment that said its not worth that amount of money. That's a big money fight for sure. 2 undefeated champs going at it. Possible fight of the year candidate. I mean knowing we won't see a TCraw vs. Spence, Canelo vs. CalSmith or an AJ vs. Wilder/Fury winner.

Thank you for your opinion. Point remains that Charlo is the bigger star and his opposition can't be criticized compared to Andrade.

Calling either guys stars is like calling diarrhea chocolate milk. Neither guy is a star. As for Charlo's opposition, his opposition at 154 is awesome and beyond reproach. His opposition at 160 is utter dog s hit. Korobov is solid. Heiland and Centeno were a s hit fights but I believe both had some sort of belt or sanctioning situation behind them so I won't hold it against Charlo. But Brandon Adams? Dennis Hogan? Those were some seriously terrible opponents who were well beneath Charlo.

Because Andrade is tied to DAZN and Charlo isn't going to go to DAZN to chase Andrade. Eubank and Derevyanchenko are both with PBC and easily makeable fights.

If a fight with Derevyanchenko is easy to make why hasn't Charlo fought him? Why isn't he being mentioned as Charlo's next opponent instead of Chris "my best victory at 160 was over Gary O'Sullivan" Eubanks.

Secondly, it isn't about chasing anyone its about the best fighting the best. Sergei Derevyanchenko wanted to fight the best. He went to DAZN and fought GGG and Danny Jacobs. Charlo wants to fight the best but stays on his network fighting Brandon Adams and Dennis Hogan. Some people back up their talk about fighting the best while others don't. Guess which one is Charlo at 160.

Eubank and Derevyanchenko are both rated higher than Andrade in boxrec.

Eubanks doesn't deserve that ranking. Neither does Jeff Horn for that matter. More on that later.

Andrade doesn't have one of the big three belts. So his belt means nothing in the PBC universe and PBC has higher rated opponents lined up for Charlo.

Eubanks is not higher rated in the real world and if Charlo had any interest in fighting Derevyanchenko he would have especially if it was such an easy fight to make as you suggest. Andrade has a belt. It may not be a major one according to PBC but its a real one. Eubanks doesn't have one so he should wait in line after Andrade.

Canelo moved to 160. Jacobs moved to 160. PBC has more top 5 middleweights than DAZN. Andrade should be theoretically unifying with GGG on DAZN, but GGG refuses to fight him. That's not Charlo's problem.

No it isn't. But GGG isn't fighting Charlo either which is Charlo's problem. Maybe both guys should step up their competition and force the issue. I don't care how the fight is aired make a deal to make the fight.

And the real top five of the middleweight division post Canelo and Jacobs is GGG, Derevyanchenko, Charlo and Andrade (in whichever order) and Murata. Eubanks and Jeff Horn have done nothing at 160 to justify a ranking higher than 6th.
