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

[emceetns]

As a fan, you should want whatever you want. I will never tell a fan what they should want. I have no problem with you wanting Charlo vs. Andrade. I want it too.

The issue is when fans think they know what a fighter SHOULD do. Which is totally different than what a fan wants them to do.

According to boxrec, 3 of the top 5 middleweights are with PBC and 2 of the top 5 middleweights are with DAZN. Personally, I'm very skeptical that Canelo is returning to middleweight, which would mean 3 of the top 4 middleweights are with PBC.

The two opponents PBC is lining up for Charlo are both rated higher than Andrade.

Fair enough, fighters ultimately decide what they think is best and that's fine, though personally I would favor Andrade over both Chris Eubank Jr. and Derevyanchenko (although I think Andrade-Derevyanchenko is closer to 50-50 in my opinion). I know that Eubank Jr. is rated higher and all that but I see Charlo knocking him out in spectacular fashion. What about you?

LOL was it now? You sure about that? You do have a bit of a history of being a bit of a story teller.

"Hearn told BoxingScene.com that terms of the deal are similar to the one he just procured with Mikey Garcia, which was a one-fight, $7 million deal, with an option to extend"

No, I'm not a boxing fan.

Ok well what would you consider yourself then?

If Andrade, Charlo, Eubank and Derevyanchenko all fought each other in a round robin, I doubt anybody comes out of that undefeated. Most of those fights are a toss up. But the point is that Charlo, as the biggest star of the four, has no incentive to cross the street to fight Andrade when Charlo's side of the street has higher rated fighters than Andrade.

That sounds like the option to extend the deal is solely up to the fighter. Unless I'm missing something...

No, if Mikey beats Vargas, Hearn has the option to match any offer for Mikey's next fight. The offer to Charlo was the same thing.

i think we all really know, deep down, that hearn isnt offering someone big money to come over to DAZN and take a belt off his guy without having an option on them for at least one more fight....i mean anyone who understands the business side of it just a little probably realizes that.....DAZN isnt going to overpay guys like tank and charlo to come over and let them beat their guy and just walk away......im sure he wants you to think that....but its just not realistic....

what hearn is hoping is to get guys like charlo and tank over there...match their next fight and get them thinking "wow this isnt bad over here i think i wanna stay".....

Well I look forward to chatting and hearing more of your insights. I'm not privy to the inner workings of the industry so I'm always looking to learn more about it.

I see, well that certainly does make a difference. Thanks for that.
