Who cares? Have Haney fight Selby instead.

Pretty sure the only fighters refusing to accept a lower offer or any negotiations are both signed to Dibella, its clear he is struggling but who knows when they get to box with fans in attendance.....he needs to be realistic like everyone else

Solid scrap down the drain b/c Matchroom is being cheap. Can p.much guarantee that the winning bid will be $250k+, which is all it would take for Kamboso’s side (60/40 split) to receive intended purse. All Hearn and co. are doing is prolonging the fight and risking reducing their fighters intended purse.

Looks like Lee Selby is dipping on Killa-Kam, because Selby is #1. with the WBO. I'm thinking now that Ryan is out the rankings with the WBO by taking on Luke Campbell for the WBC 'Interim', Selby is thinking on side stepping the IBF and Kambosos so he can go on to face Emmanuel Tagoe for the vacant WBO 135 title, once the WBO commences sanctioning again.

If the fight was likely to lose money you believe Matchroom should take the hit?
All purses are being reduced right now during Covid-19, I think Hearne would rather have someone else arrange this one, it won't make much (if any) money.

Oldskoolgay ejaculated all over his keyboard at the thought of Eddie Hearn having financial troubles.

Yeah, espescially Selby isnt even signed to Matchroom.

Hearn was trying to do Kambosos dirty like he did Amanda Serrano.
