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

[Kezzer]

What is Russell’s pay from his previous fights - there any history on that? I don’t really know if this is a good offer or not to be honest. Certainly seems strange he wanted to bring it out in public if he had any view of making a deal to have the fight

I love Gary, but come on man you got to take these fights homie. This guy has been fighting once a year since 2015 like he's TBE or something. He just fought some 11-0 dude, come Gary quit being such a panty liner. What a waste of talent.

Pretty much sums up how I feel in regards to him as a fighter, he has done fuck all since koing Johnny Gonzalez for the WBC title what 6 years ago?

Now he is turning down million dollar offers and fighting once a year when he is relatively obscure?

That’s about 4 average US homes. Well, before taxes. Even after taxes, managerial cut, promotional cut, corner’s cut, it’s still at least half a million.

Devin Haney Promotions (DHP). Step your game up.

Bro, even Hearn can't find a decent opponent for Haney. What's the hold up there?

I'm actually surprised somebody would ever offer Russell 1 mil.

Last time I checked on thaBoxingvoice, Bill Haney and Sampson Lewkowicz set up a meeting for Devin Haney vs. Javier Fortuna ; the conversation seemed to be productive, Sam just went on vacation and they should be closing the deal very soon.

Good. Hopefully it gets done. Thanks.

Lol Gary Russell funny to me.

I mean ain't he get a mill for a fight on PBC? If so it's understandable.

Not sure, but if he did, those were the good times. I don't know about now. Maybe if he's fighting Davis.
