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

[Citizen Koba]

Since it appears Canelo may be booked until fall 2021, Andrade should look elsewhere to make some waves as Alvarez and BJS will be unavailable. Perhaps a unification with GGG or lobbying Hearn to get him a fight with Charlo.

More likely than not, I see both Andrade and GGG fighting more underwhelming competition while hoping for a fall 2021 encounter with Canelo.

Pretty much the way I see things... course the dudes should just fight each other - Canelo might not even go for either of 'em anyway - but when there's that much $$$s at potential risk ain't really gonna surprise anyone if they swerve each other.

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!

I agree and even during the divorce with GBP and DAZN, Canelo's camp hinted at that. The issue wasn't DAZN it was GBP and the long term contract associated with the promoter and the network.

I agree that Charlo, Plant and Benavidez go the route of FOX PPV should they happen. Yildirim is just such a weak opponent (in terms of skill and buzz) that it doesn't really warrant PPV and thus it goes to DAZN and becomes a homecoming fight in Guadalajara.

Good point and yes as a WBO MW champ he can go right ahead and fight for the SMW belt. But don't know if they can force that?? Or just both have to agree??

Didn't they do.it with Navarette?

[tokon]

Yes he can. He would be the immediate mando

So there's the easy path!

Both with dazn so no problem there.

Unless one of the fighters doesn't want it . .

Nelo vs Jr Spence @ 160 is a shameful fight... an undeserving fight for Jr Spence as he won't fight T Crawford @ 147 and a non competitive/unmeaningful fight for Nelo @ 160, fighting Jr Spence, an overhyped WW ducking the P4P #1 fighter.... TC!

I wish you simpletons would go back to your basket weaving forums where you may have legitimate expertise. Seasoned Boxing forums for casuals is not the place to display your ignorance. Crawford isn’t ducking Spence and Spence isn’t ducking Crawford. I know you may be new to the game and somewhat of a celebrity worshipper but it’s not the case.

Spence doesn’t mention Crawford to snub him and make him realize he isn’t A-side. Crawford doesn’t make Arum cut the deal with Haymon to fight Spence because he believes he is worth more than he actually is. In addition, the fight won’t be made until more butts can be put in seats. This is called the boxing game and the marinating of a fight.

Stick around you may raise that boxing IQ

In the 90's, Eubank, Nigel Benn and other brits dodged James Toney. Now in this decade, Blow J. Saunders is dodging Andrade. All this avoiding and ducking and dodging is disgusting, and is holding the sport back. Fight the best or tuck ur tail between your legs and retire

Saunders found his way out of their original 2018 date by testing positive. With a Canelo fight on the horizon, he will probably avoid Andrade.

Don't hurt 'em fam! Lol! Real talk though, Canelo vs. Spence Jr. at AT&T (Jerry's World) would be FIRE!!! I doubt Canelo will go back down, but if he did, I think fighting Spence Jr. would be bigger than the GGG trilogy!
