Why is there a rematch for Warrington/Lara?

[paulf]

While it is obnoxious, I think Lara will be fine here.

Just because there's a rematch clause doesn't mean they're going to move forward with it. Hearn would be nuts to put Warrington in with that kid again: risk (high) vs reward (low).

Could just as well have him fight Ryan Walsh or even a shot Ricky Burns to get back in position for a shot.

This wasn't a title fight. This was a tune up gone wrong. Now Lara has to wait on Warrington instead of being able to capitalize off his win.

✅ Eddie Hearn has confirmed that there is a rematch clause for Josh Warrington vs Mauricio Lara following Lara's upset KO tonight.

Eddie Hearn is a promoter who knows what he is doing - that is why. It’s well known when there is an obvious A side he will always insist on a rematch clause and it’s a win win really. Whyte had the same thing with Povetkin, Povetkin and Lara (should Warrington activate it which I would say isn’t guaranteed given the beating) will both be very well paid for a rematch - and they agreed these terms beforehand.

Sensible and obvious business. The rematch would get great views for sky to be honest anyway - and probably now a bigger fight than anything else for Warrington.

rematch clauses is ***** ****

Wilder had one for Fury and Ortiz.

Looking out for his fighter by getting him KTFO?

Nah I know what you’re saying, it’s a contingency plan. This was terrible matchmaking though. Matchroom/Hearn clearly didn’t know anything about Lara and paid the price.

Hopefully Hearn is not playing match maker too lol.

More hearn BS. Rematches are fine for MAJOR Championship fights that are close, or have an undeniable public interest in a rematch. hearn includes them to 'corral' a fighters career that he doesn't already control. It's pathetic.

I doubt Warrington will make the time requirement before the clause expires. If he even requests the rematch clause be invoked.

Because eddie hearn doesnt believe in his fighters and he doesnt care about anything but his own pockets

Eddie needs his fighters to make money themselves in order to line his own pockets. And sometimes, rematches are huge money so a smart man would put a clause in whenever a big name fights.

And if you were a big name fighter, you’d want the option of that rematch even if you didn’t take it. If you’re the no-name like Lara, then a rematch clause on better terms if you win is no bad thing either.

No its not better terms, the guy that just won the fight comes in as the b side and has no control when theres a rematch clause
