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

[aaronbnb]

in other words, I don't like boxing. I want to retire. But if someone hits a price tag that's way over my value, I'll do it.

Why does Hearn get cheap with the fights we actually want to see? Frampton reportedly got over 2 million pounds to fight Warrington. Why the hell would GRJ go to England with his titles, there refereeing and judging to get what he is paid to fight a tune up in the US? Doesn’t look like a serious offer. He is just setting up a fake duck scenario. On the other hand why didn’t Gary just respond with his own number and terms?

Is the lower offer due to the fight taking place in the UK and likely on Sky PPV instead of DAZN? And is the US DAZN budget bigger?

Probably because GRJ understood much like yourself that Hearn was just wasting his time.

We all know when GRJ fights, as rare as that is, he makes over a million. With a offer like this, Hearn really doesn't want to make the fight.

Hearn and Arum

Deceitful promoters and politicians and big corporations using the pandemic as excuse to get richer and make the poor poorer and companies lazier. Every where you go there are signs on the doors with instructions if you want service. Customers need to charge these companies more for detention and for making their business easier for them. They are all acting like if they are the pope and you can't approach them without going through a bunch of hurdles.

Spot on, just wish these fighters would counter offer with a real number to expose these image based low ball offers. Or just say the number is low but let’s negotiate?

A year from now when the idiots forget the context Hearn will be telling everyone GRJ ducked Warrington to prevent the fight.
