Most frustrating negotiations in boxing history

[Master]

Each fighter has different levels of motivation and aspirations to go for legacy.

Boxers have a relatively small window of opportunity to make big money and is normally in the latter part of their career when age is setting in and have to use their experience to win fights.

Tyson Fury is interested in unifying the title and beating AJ for his legacy. After that he will retire he has all the money he needs and that is his motivation to continue boxing.

No he fucking isn't!

I will bet with you that he will beat Chisora, Usyk and AJ in that order and retire.

I’ll take that bet. What’s on it ? Or just a sportsman’s bet?

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn admits he is envious of the business model used by Dana White and the UFC.

The Matchroom Sports chairman has had a tough time as of late, as a massive fight between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn fell through before talks for a British blockbuster with Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua collapsed.

Away from his stable of fighters, a much-discussed undisputed welterweight bout between Errol Spence and Terrence Crawford recently fell through when ‘Bud’ decided to take on David Avanesyan instead of continuing with drawn-out fight talks.

As the biggest fights in boxing consistently fail to get made, many combat sports fans are becoming engrossed in MMA which is led by the UFC who almost always puts on the fights fans want when they want them.

“The UFC is a tremendous business. I’m so jealous of the UFC because fighters come into the UFC, you sign a central contract, and the money is not great,” Hearn told talkSPORT Breakfast.

“You are basically told who you are going to fight, and you have no choice at all. The problem with boxing is, you have a choice. You have representatives, you have agents, you have managers, you have lawyers.

“[In the UFC] you can be in a fight that doesn’t really pay you the value of what you deserve for that fight. Sometimes fighters [boxers] are overpaid in terms of their value, in fact, it happens a lot.”

Hearn doesn’t want to make excuses for failing to make fights but also believes he faces many more obstacles when it comes to putting together big boxing bouts.

“I don’t wanna say it’s not our fault, but we are negotiating with fighters, lawyers, advisers to make fights happen,” he added.

“You have to understand, for me, all I wanna do is make the biggest fights for myself, the fans, the broadcasters and make as much money as possible as a business. I don’t mind saying that.”

Hearn will look to get his 2022 back on track this weekend at Wembley Arena with a card that features undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor defending her belts against undefeated Argentine Elizabeth Carabajal.

However, fans wanted to see ‘The Bray Bomber’ in a rematch with Amanda Serrano that would ideally take place at Croke Park in Dublin.

I think a Serrano-Taylor rematch should happen in Las Vegas. It would pack the house as the main event.

i just try to focus on the good fights that are being made, those are the fighters who should be getting threads with replies

Eddie is so full of shat sometimes that he's practically floating over the rim of the bowl. At the moment he's suing Serranos "promoter" right? Pretty much will put that rematch in the dust bin. They had big fights in their lap but piddled multi millions on Andrade keeping a strap warm and more millions to Mikey to comb his hair. I get the extreme cases and diva attitudes called out, but anytime I hear a company mouthpiece say "the problem is boxers have choices" I don't think bad. I think Don King . Ufc is just edging 30 years on and doing well at picking up some of boxings black eyes but at a more rapid pace. Weekly shouts of robbery and bad officiating, over blown ppvs, the "next" major star blowing weight and being rewarded for it. Hearn needs to center on his own house and cut the nonsense.

Ennis vs Norman Jr unification

Hearn say 3 offers have been made & Norman's father still wants more. Norman have not even headlined yet. Ennis is sell big crowd at Philadelphia. Norman is outpricing self. Bring Chukhadzhian to Ennis hometown for mandatory instead
