Comments Thread For: Demetrius Andrade Willing To Take Pay Cut To Fight Billy Joe Saunders

[slimPickings]

Imagine that "i'll take a pay cut so we can fight" says one belt holder to another!!

Boxing really does suck.

[Combat Talk Radio]

That's a good idea, for Demetrious Andrade to be willing to take a pay cut to fight Billy Joe Saunders. He has to do something to jump start his boxing career. Unfortunately Saunders appears to be lined up to fight Canelo in May 2021. He's not going to do anything that would jeopardize that fight from taking place. He's already lost out on one opportunity to fight Canelo in the past. I don't think that he'll make that same mistake twice. But who knows with Saunders, he has said, and do some ******, and criminal things in the past.

And the bold is the ONLY reason he's saying this now. He should have been saying it 5 years ago. Like Crawford

[Get em up]

And unlike Crawford, Andrade's desired foes are all (besides Charlo) in-house fights! Waste of talent!

That's a excellent point. Andrade has all sorts of opportunity at 160 and 168 inhouse but no fights have materialized

[hhh1200]

Not happening! No way they let Andrade hold the WBO at 168 and he will smoke Saunders without his nasal spary.

154 Canelo - I fight for pride not belts when Andrade had the WBO
160 Canelo - It's Oscar's fault I lost belts, so I cant fight Andrade for undisputed on DAZN

It's plain as day he doesn't want to fight Andrade who is an XL version of FMW and LAra

[CmdrSoCal]

Saunders has been waiting in line to lose to Canelo for the last 3 years. No way he takes the bait now from Andrade so close to his goal of losing for big money. Jacobs and Derevy seem like the only realistic fights for Andrade unfortunately. DAZN has been too inept to force the Golovkin fight.

I honestly believe Andrade wants no part of Liam Williams. Alentez Fox
probably told Andrade to stay away.

[Doubledagger]

If Andrade had this attitude around a decade ago give or take he would be Floyd Mayweather now.

But he ducked and dived from top competition and made money excuses despite being offered almost, if not more than triple his highest earning, did everything he could to avoid undefeated Derevyancheno, Jermell Charlo, and Erislandy Lara.

If you had taken those fights and won, like some of your former fans like me believed you would have, you would be super star right now. You would be thee cash cow, or at least a cash cow and would have gotten GGG and Canelo fights too on your resume.

Now, at age 33, after you looked shot in your last fight, only now you want grow a pair?

You'll probably lose now because you aint the same fighter and people will say you were a num to begin with.

Hopefully the last fight was just a bad day at the office and you go on to cement some sort of respectable legacy.

Nelo staying safe, away from harms way.... reminds me of Jr Spence tactics...

I doubt Canelo comes back to 160. Time for the d1ck riders to move up to 168! If he does come back to 160, I hope he fights Spence in AT&T Stadium! Much bigger event than Spence Jr. vs. Crawford!

Interesting that Canelo continues to be dance partners with DAZN and Matchroom. I thought PBC was going to bid on the Canelo vs Yildirim fight. Honestly, it's kind of an awkward fight to go after; Canelo demands so much but can you make a Yildirim fight into a PPV? Would FOX be willing to put up enough money to put it on their channel (would generate massive numbers I would imagine)?

Probably makes more sense for DAZN to invest in as part of a 2 fight deal since it can help expand their international markets. If DAZN gets these fights, will be very curious what happens in fall of 2021 when Canelo fights again.

I don't think Canelo had a problem with DAZN. I think the problem was with GBP! I still think Canelo vs. Charlo, Plant, or Benavidez does go to FOX PPV!
