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

[hhh1200]

The bottom line is that Charlo isn't getting $7 million to fight any other single opponent.

Outside of Canelo who isn't interested in fighting him.

Charlo should take the Andrade fight.

DAZN is dropping a 7 mil purse for Mikey, who got completely washed by Spence vs Vargas, who just barely got a draw vs Broner of all people while Andrade vs Charlo has to the potential to be Charlo vs Harrision 2.0, which I'd call one of the highlights of 2019, given their promotion (pressers are GOLD) is leagues above anything I have seen this year. Just shows how screwed up boxing is.

Andrade has a mouth just like Harrison with skills to match.

To be fair Mikey has much bigger name recognition than either Jermall Charlo or Demetrius Andrade, plus he has a chance of attracting the coveted Mexican fanbase.

Better to make 4-5 million over and over than make 7 million one time by having to cross the street with the deck stacked against you, only to get screwed on the cards.

Charlo should take the Andrade fight.

If he should take it, he'll take it. If he shouldn't, he won't. What are your qualifications? How would you have any idea if he should take it or not? If Joshua wouldn't take 50 million to cross the street, what makes you think Charlo will take 7? 50 million was over double what Joshua was making. 7 million is only a million or two more than Charlo is making.

It's never better to make millions less. Unless you're a fool.

But especially for fighters in the hurt business. Who typically have a short earning window in their careers.

He would only have to cross the street for one fight with no long term commitments. And he could make sure to have a say on the ref and judges.

You have absolutely no experience, insight or knowledge of how to pilot a fighter's career. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Fighters with leverage, who aren't desperate, focus on the long term health of their career. Not selling their 0 for a one off payday.

Haymon A-sides tend to have very long earning windows. Year after year after year his loyal guys continue to make millions of dollars.

He would only have to cross the street for one fight with no long term commitments.

If he gets screwed on the cards, he's ruined his entire career for no reason. NO A-SIDE CROSSES THE STREET TO FIGHT A B-SIDE. Period. Hearn knows there is a 0% chance of this fight happening on DAZN. Charlo is a bigger star. If Andrade wants any chance of getting the fight, he'd have to cross the street and honestly I doubt PBC would even want him. He's boring and his WBO belt is unrecognized.

Why do you say that Charlo would be selling off his 0? Don't you have any confidence that he can beat Andrade and stay unbeaten?

He would be getting the best payday he can possibly get for one single fight...while having the chance to enhance his legacy and marketability by unifying a couple of belts.

It's a risk well worth taking. And he would be well compensated for it.

So the money is there. The professional recognition is there.
A place in history is there. The only thing that seems to be missing are his balls to put it all on the line like a real fighter should.

There's also the Canelo/GGG factor. Rightly or wrongly, neither man is currently on Alvarez's radar and plenty on here have said that they need to "earn" the right to those fights.
The winner of this fight would certainly have strengthened their case.

Exactly.

Canelo is Franchise Champion so he can never be forced to fight Charlo now.

But if Charlo were to hold 2 middleweight belts? Then that certainky makes it more enticing for Canelo or Golovkin to look his way.
