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

[Wacked_Out]

I bet Gary wouldnt take 10 mil to fight Shakur or Colbert . Of course he'd be way too afraid of those but that's what I want to see. Lets see how fast he really is.

Gary made excuses for not fighting Haney. Now he's making excuses not to fight Warrington. Both guys make for great fights that would both be Gary's biggest fight in years. Fans would tune in. I don't get it

This guy has squandered his prime. He's going to be driving for Uber when he's 50 if he keeps turning down million dollar offers.

Folks funny as hell!! Everyone got an opinion on another mans life. But hey, thats the way of the world. Always someone there to tell you what you should've done or what they would've done different. Man wanna turn down $1M, let him. Hope it works out for him. Would like the fight with warrington though.

Russell just doesn’t want to fight anyone. He’s having too much fun uploading videos calling out everyone.

If Josh really wanted Gary, he didn't have to leave Frank. First he leaves Warren, then he drops his title, now he's Hearnia lowballing Gary. Won't leave home, doesn't like the Kid. Talk about wasting your prime

Bro, I hear ya, and got the gist of your points.

The issue is, nobody cares when fans can't critique you or say what they think of you. None are wrong when it comes to Russell. It's not all about him.

The guy is becoming a joke. This is the only case where I don't blame Haymon. I blame him.

Gary is just all talk. Stop crying and actually fight.

Warrington has stated his interest in traveling, so I'm not sure that's the issue. There's also no guarantee that Warren would've been able to get him the bigger names he's seeking during the pandemic. In order to get Russell the $$$ he wants, this match-up will probably need a crowd...and it's gonna be a while before Warrington will be able to pack out an arena again.

So step up to 130 and fight someone . . .

He would rather fight his mandatory, that hasn’t been called.

Even though I think the 1m offer is low, am disappointed that I didn’t hear him saying “We counter that offer with”.... It seems like he just doesn’t want the fight, quite content fighting once a year and making that a mandatory fight.
