Comments Thread For: Gary Russell: Hearn Offered Me $1 Million To Fight Warrington; Beneath My Standards

[DJrabit]

He will rather get paid 1 Mil to fight TBA

[Eff Pandas]

If he's making $1M to fight who he's been fighting he should definitely get more for fighting Warrington.

Also fook boxing outside the ring. Everything outside the ring sucks & makes no fooking sense. Imma start playing all these billion dollar lottery's so if I win it I can takeover boxing lol. This game could be changed so easily with a mfer with a nice bankroll over about a decade give or take. And then you can create a league that makes some fooking sense to grow the sport to how big it used to be & still is one or two nights a year when people get hyped for a fight they finally want happening.

did anyone ever tell him that he can fight twice a year and make twice as much money? No, no.....I'll hold out for more money and end up with half as much lol

Gary Russell Jr. deemed Eddie Hearn's offer for a featherweight title unification fight against Josh Warrington unacceptable. Russell revealed during the newest episode of "The PBC Podcast" that Warrington's promoter made him a $1 million offer for that bout through social media. Russell turned it down because he believes that fight is worth more money, particularly if Russell would've had to travel to the unbeaten Brit's home country to fight him.

GRJ got $1 million for his last fight against Nyanbar.
Fùckin idiot!! The biggest waste of talent I’ve ever seen.

Won't be long before the fans are doing the fighting.

The problem is, Gary doesn't have a very deep fan base, and he hasn't done anything to erase the Loma Loss. He has the mark of the dog on him. Josh in London? Thats a champion sized effort. Make a counter offer, get what he can, and go for the glory. People will remember him for his once a year appearance and the Loma Loss. What kind of legacy is that?

[theface07]

Go on Gary. The dude isn't busy enough to be much of a draw. Only hardcore fans even know who he is. He's not in a real lucrative weight class right now but beating Warrington would definitely make him more known on the world stage. Russell stays on the bench too long he's not going to be worth much more anyways.

[F l i c k e r]

What a world we live in no?

Where 1 million is an insult to guys who don't even make 1 mil to fight.

Man made $402k for his last fight with a 1 mil purse guaranteed against a nobody. Now he's looking down at 1 mill. :lol!:
