I'm really not sure what he wants. But he's one guy on PBC that can't get any big fights in house. I said when he was negotiating with TR and Hearn that he should leave if they can guarantee him a big fight because whatever he is doing right now is not it. Does he just want too much money? Is everyone avoiding him? I don't know, but if the PBC can't get it done for him then he needs to look elsewhere before he calls it a career.
Kid Galahad to Sign With PBC

I think it’s because of money. I’m pretty sure he got 7 figures vs Kiko Martinez so he probably wants multimillions for the bigger fights.I'm really not sure what he wants.

He has a great deal for sure. GRJ gets money on the gates for his fights as well to go along with the 7 figure guarantee.
But you don't think Hearn would pay him great money for say Warrington? If he does, then just go over to DAZN and get a great pay day.Comment

Not during a pandemic. If they could get a crowd he probably would. Warrington is a huge ticket seller but he’s not very well known outside of Leeds.
I doubt Eddie will invest in Josh until he can have an arena/stadium sold out in Leeds cause I doubt Josh will move the needle on PPV.Comment

Yeah, definitely nothing until crowds are allowed back.Not during a pandemic. If they could get a crowd he probably would. Warrington is a huge ticket seller but he’s not very well known outside of Leeds.
I doubt Eddie will invest in Josh until he can have an arena/stadium sold out in Leeds cause I doubt Josh will move the needle on PPV.
Hearn won't dare make Warrington vs GRJ on PPV though, right??Comment

This doesnt sound like hes going to PBC https://twitter.com/KidGalahad90/sta...520386563?s=19
The IBF title was never on the poster for the upcoming Warrington fight, he gave it up before the purse bid happened. Hearn said in a recent interview Galahad would be taken very well care of, Im suspecting he'll be fighting for the IBF on Fury/Joshua. Could guage which Arab country has it if Im right, he was born in Doha btw.Comment

Hearn said in a recent interview Galahad would be taken very well care of, Im suspecting he'll be fighting for the IBF on Fury/Joshua.

“They offered a four-fight deal,” Galahad told Boxing Social. “[It’s] unbelievable money, multi-million-pound deal to win the IBF title and then I could either fight Gary Russell Jr, he has to fight his mandatory [Rey Vargas] then I’ll fight him next in a unification or fight Leo Santa Cruz if he come back down to 126lbs. I’ll probably get the Gary Russell Jr. or the Leo Santa Cruz fight before Warrington,”Now, Galahad feels that the time is right to align himself with a promoter.
“I’ve never actually done a deal,” he said. “The reason I never actually signed with anyone is because I always believed in my ability and I thought: ‘I’ll be able to get myself there. I don’t need protecting’. Someone posted today that every title I’ve ever won has been vacant and I can’t believe it. How crazy is that? Rather than fight me, they’d rather vacate.”Now, nothing is official so it is totally possible he sticks with Matchroom, but as mentioned, he's only been doing one fight deals with him. Does he gets a long-term deal with him? Does he use this offer from PBC as leverage? Possible.“If you want them big fights, you’ve got to go to the States,” he said. “At the end of the day, you’re not drawing [here]. I don’t think there’s anyone apart from AJ who is a big enough draw to offer £30m, or even £5m to get them to come over here, there isn’t anyone. Amir Khan was a big draw, he had to go out there; Kell Brook was a big draw, he had to go out there; Ricky Hatton was a big draw, he had to go out there; it was the same with Joe Calzaghe. That’s what you’ve got to do. I’ve already been out there, I boxed Toka Kahn Clary, so I know what it’s like. I believe in my ability and I believe in what I do.”Comment
