That date lines up about perfect for the WBSS then. Assuming its a keep busy fight & he doesn't get cut or anything else random that can go down anyway.
Have a keep busy fight on July 1 & then 8-12 weeks later his first round WBSS fight & if he's in he should have the pick of the litter opponent-wise cuz without Badou Jack at 168 he's the clear #1 guy.
Originally posted by NEETzsche View PostI don't think he's made $2m in one fight yet (probably only made $1m once or twice), but Smith, Groves and Eubank are all big fights for him over here so he may prefer that route to the WBSS tourney. Although Groves, being a Sauerland fighter, could enter the tournament regardless and then that could have a domino effect on the other Brits in the division
My working theory is that Sauerland & Al Haymon guys will have many participates since Sauerland is directly involved obviously + Haymon has the Schaefer relationship + has the biggest roster of unaffiliated fighters so there is not going to be any promoter or network hemming up a guy under contract from entering.

If it is Smith/Degale it could explain why the McGuigans turned down the 70k for Taylor/Davies because they knew it was a PPV

That's an interesting fight as it goes.
So is Ryder/Cox. I didn't score that Fielding fight but I remember thinking that Ryder was the better fighter in a lot of ways.
Hearn needs to pack undercards with these sorts of fights. He has enough fighters, ffs.
