Is Jermall Charlo worth paying $7 million to?

[ShoulderRoll]

That's a lot of money.

Does he bring the crowds and tv viewers to justify that amount?

Would anyone in the boxing market besides crazy Eddie Hearn (and possibly cash cow Canelo) be willing to pay him that much?

[Fanofreason]

Good fighter but Dazn is beyond desperate as is Eddie. Hearn has burnt every US Network and when Dazn bankrupts Eddie is done.

[AKAcronym]

He gets 7 million for that kind of fight, he becomes a hell of a lot harder to negotiate with on fights that are more significant.

[_Rexy_]

Not at all. Hearn is desperate because he talked so much **** and burned so many bridges that he has nobody to fight his guys.


He's a ****ing title holder, and as a champion he's faced:

Walter Kautondokwa
Artur Akavov
Maciej Sulecki
Luke Keeler


World Champion, and I had to google two of those names before he fought them. Kautondokwa they said was because BJS pissed dirty. Fine, got Booboo the vacant belt, but it's fine because Andrade is going to fight BJS after his suspension. Then he fights Akavov which is another BS fight, but whatever it's to marinate the BJS fight since Billy fought him (So did David Lemieux, Curtis Stevens...****, I'm sure people would have rather seen him fight Andy Lee fresh out of retirement)

Then the Billy fight isn't happening, cause Saunders lazy ass can't make weight without nose spray, so he fights Sulecki in a fight that was likely so boring that I actually can't remember if I watched it or not, only for us to come full circle to the question of: "Who the **** is Luke Keeler?"

You're going in on Demetrius Andrade, bro.

But I'm talking specifically about Jermall Charlo. Is the $7 million he is being offered to fight on DAZN generous? Or not enough?

[boliodogs]

I voted yes since he is getting that much. Hell Canelo gets 5 times that much for fighting old man Kovalev and he isn't 5 times better or more exciting than Jermall.

[Curt Henning]

honestly? probably not

but DAZN is willing to overpay to keep hearn happy because he cant even get andrade a big fight with 3 MW big names on his own network....DAZN is def trying to keep hearn happy or shut him up if theyre willing to pony up that money for charlo.....

Well, Canelo certainly has a proven track record of being able to fill arenas, get high tv ratings, and sell PPVs.

Based on that he easily deserves to be paid 5 times better. It's logical.

[ReggieKray]

Wasn't he offered 7m but countered with 12m or whatever Jacob's got?

[Curt Henning]

again...ill say it again....someone answer the question

imagine spence had no brook, mikey or porter on his resume(andrades resume lacks even one fighter of that caliber)...now spence has danny, thurman, pac etc on his own network(andrade has canelo, lil g, danny)....now imagine his next fight is against sebastian formella and al haymon is out there talking about how hes offering jesse vargas 7 mil to come over and fight spence on fox....

lol...ask yourself...how terrible of a look is that?
