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

[Mammoth]

This guy is a joke “beneath my standards” lol dude you’re standards are already low.

Bet Russel will avoid Vargas he wants no part of a tall non stop wirlwind

I bet Russell will fight him. Care to do a points bet?

What's the deal with these $1 Million dollar offers? Anyway, Rey Vargas should be a decent scrap, but I still want Tank vs. GRJ @ 130, especially since KingRy is seeking Pacquiao!

I mean it isn't far off given the total lack of momentum this guy has

You see his name and think ah yeah, I forgot about him...

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.

Good points, worth remembering.

I think he made 1.5m on average, honestly 1m to come over to the UK is a lowball offer. Especially because it’s a voluntary fight, unification yes but now that Josh has dropped his belt, it makes it even more of an expensive fight for Team Josh, I think 2m plus should be the right amount in this pandemic.

I think you have hit the nail on the head, the pandemic!

So if he averages about 1.5m with gates, how are you going to get that behind closed doors?

It’s not PPV so where does the money come from?

I think 1m is fair based on the circumstances and the fact no one outside of boxing knows why GRJ is!

Wisdom from Teofimo Lopez:

“In order for us to bring boxing back to its fullest, we have to fight the fights that are 50/50 competition,” Lopez wrote on Twitter. “This is a PSA to all the promoters and fighters. Quit being prideful and make the fights happen! It’s not hard! Promoters stop trying to make more money than the fighters.”

$1m offers.....man had Edward Hearn and Dayzin fallen from grace. I remember the days when Edward was desperate for pbc fighters attention and was offering $7-$15m a fight for even rubbish pbc fighters......I guess this means no “American takeover?????”

This guy is a strange one.

1 million for fighting in England or some UK country where they are most likely locked down so no gate. I would say that is a good offer. Go over there and beat Warrington in his own back yard. Come back home and use that as leverage and promote that. Show that you are willing to go anywhere and you can beat anyone anywhere. Learn to promote yourself. Walk the talk.

Gary talking about moving up to 135 sounds like a cash out to me. Is he trying to follow in Mikey's footsteps?

Would like to have heard his excuse if it was 10 mil or 50 mil. This was easy for him to duck and blame it on money he somehow thinks he deserves. At least he's smart enough to know he'd get his ..s handed to him and be exposed.
