    Not only did Farmer turn down $2 mil for Gervonta. Now he's without a deal

    A few weeks ago he was complaining when they wouldn't give him a deal. Only a one fight contract and he had to win to get a deal



    And he was so confident he'd beat JoJo and get a deal



    He has a rematch clause. Hopefully they'll still give him a deal and reward his loyalty to him



    I can understand Andrade turning down a career high payday from Showtime to fight Charlo because Andrade re-upped with Hearn and DAZN. But overall it was horrible advice listening to Hearn and DiBella. Just terrible seeing another fighter being used by a promotional company.

    He could sign over with Al & get the Tank fight now but he wants a rematch with jo jo.

          He bragged too much and totally disrespected Diaz. I was glad to see him lose and I thought he lost almost every round. Diaz is very good and not a bragger.

            Turning down the $2 million was a dumb move by Farmer.

            Just like turning down $7 million is a dumb move by Charlo.

              Well it seems like Andrade wouldn't even have to turn down a Showtime offer even if he has just re-upped with DAZN.
              “If Showtime sends me the deal [to fight Charlo], I can go over there and fight, and then come back to DAZN,” Andrade said. “You know? And the same way for them. Eddie Hearn said that he’s willing to pay, and if they wanna stay, they can stay.”

              Demetrius Andrade can’t understand why Jermall Charlo won’t accept a one-fight offer to face him on DAZN. Eddie Hearn, Andrade’s promoter, has said he emailed Charlo a $7 million offer early in December to box Andrade in a middleweight title unification fight. That offer, according to Hearn, wouldn’t require Charlo to participate in more than one fight on DAZN, which means Charlo could return to fight on Showtime or FOX after facing Andrade.

                Tell 'em! I have nothing against Farmer but even in his defeat against GRJ, I saw that Diaz would be a handful for Farmer. I even put a little money on Diaz.

                  Farmer made a bad decision for sure looking at how things played out Should've cashed out with the Tank Davis Fight

                  Tank is younger and he is already a draw so chances of him getting another opportunity at another Huge Payday is very likely but for Farmer he is never going to get another offer for $2 Million

                    He didn't have to sign with Al to get the $2 mil Tank fight. He still turned it down. And there was a rematch clause. He fumbled that bag to get his belt took an now he gotta hope Eddie is sympathetic and gives him a deal
