    I've avoided all the forums since the fight as I was embarrassed to see what the Americans had to say about it... had a look today and as suspected and feared the comments included
    ''Another Brit bum on HBO'', ''this miss match shouldn't be on HBO'', '' Rose is a euro bum who can't fight'' etc etc etc....

    I don't want to turn this into an anti Hearn thread but can somebody tell me why he gets all these kids into mandatory positions which is great but doesn't ever force negotiations to go into a Purse bid and have a crack at bringing these ****ers over so his kid gets home advantage???

    Obviously you can't do that against a big market force fighter or somebody with serious political connections but Andrade as good as he looks is not in this bracket..

    I mean if Rose was receiving a life changing amount in exchange for going over then fair enough but I heard he only made about £70k ffs

    Eddie has to weigh up the cost of the show to put on,the likely hood he can sell it,the chances of the opposite promoter agreeing,whether he could win the purse bid etc. so many variables its easy to find holes in what he does. I'd love to see the fights here more often and with a life changer of a sum but maybe when weighing everything up Hearn is thinking,well he is getting more than he has done before and more than I can make off te show to pay him? Don't know why he couldn't split the purse to up the amount but I'm not a promoter.

    For someone like Brian Rose it's about earning a living, he's never going to dominate the sport it's about getting in and out with your health and plenty of money. Tonight went a long way for that.

    70k for 3 months work. 2 weeks in USA all expenses paid. Not a bad way to start the year

    Andrade was on 200k with Rose on 100k.

    How the **** do you propose that Matchroom could offer that much AND recoup their money you ****ing cretinous ****?

    Are you fcuking dumb - that's the figures that where negotiated and agreed between the promoters & Hearn. My point is instead of taking whatever was offered why did Matchroom not have a crack at taking it to a purse bid and potentially bringing the fight here to give the kid the best chance of winning?
    I'm talking about bringing Andrade over here not Floyd Mayweather you twat.

    I'll tell you why instead of investing in his fighter to give them home advantage its far easier for Hearn to send another 'brit bum' as the americans foundly call us now over there to be beaten up and embarrassed without the hassle of putting his hand in his pocket.

    Dennis Hobson without proper TV backing and his own money got McDonnell the IBF shot at home....did the same for Stuart Hall...Frank brought Martinez and Katsidis over for Burns world belts...McGuigan has just forked out to get Frampton his shot at home etc....why can't Hearn do the same with his big fcuking sky contract??? and to think I was arguing with Hearns cheerleaders last week who actually thought he was serious about paying Paul Butler £200k :patsch

    Maybe because it would not be worth it. Andrade would win anyway.

    Hearn brought over Beltran, Gonzales and Crawford for Burns when he was champ.
    Try and be objective instead of wetting yourself and insulting people-ive proved youre no good at that as you get found out.

    Hearn got Purdy a title shot, was Devon Ever going to come here for it? Dont make me laugh

    Rees v Broner...Adrien wouldnt come here to fight Burns, why would he for Rees?

    Bellew v Stevenson Adonis was never going to give up his home advantage as champ to come here to fight a nobody on the world stage.

    You live in dream land if you think any of those champions were going to, especially with the standard of our refereeing in question during the time.

    As for Rose v Andrade you may be right and Eddie could have gone the extra yard on it,made a loss but how do you know he never??
    Hobson did it once, W/\rren held back from bringing big names over for Clev as long as possible, no promoter is perfect.

    As for Paul Butler you conceded last week when it was spelt out why it would be possible, another when you called me stupid etc. You need to not type when you're angry or pack in trolling.

    Before you call me stupid and naive-both accusations you made, both of which it turned out where more appropriate levelled elsewhere just have a look at those bouts and tell me who would have realistically come here.

    Lol I think you just read and interprit things that you want to hear mate...first off I never 'agreed' with you about the Butler situation as predicted that's all gone quiet, Hearn as predicted hasn't pursued his £200k offer formally by sending a contract instead of just pulling a Figure out of his backside on a interview(daddy Hearn probably sent him to his room for that one) and Warrren hasn't pursued his joke offer either - as I said at the time both promoters where playing fcukerys. What I did 'agree' with was your general theory about how it might potentially be able for eddie to take a loss on one show in order to make money down the line.The trouble is Jaime McDonnell is ever going to be able to justify this type of outlay as he will never be a big star or a major money generator plus Hearn has told us time and time again that he works each show to a budget which must balance its as simple as that mate.

    I insulted Solaris as he called me a **** mate.

    Burns was already champion thanks to frank mate - I'm talking about world title challengers.

    Also if you read my earlier post I clearly explained I wasn't talking about bringing
    Major stars like Stevenson etc stars over here as that's probably unrealistic but to me Andrade who is far from a major star eddie IMO should have tried to bring him over here either with a cash offer or force purse bids - but he never does.

    Rees was a voluntary defence for Broner no problem with that.
    Purdy was a last min sub for Brook against Devon.

    When frank or whoever has ****ed up I give them stick mate so this is no agenda but there is a pattern forming here with Hearn sending guys for beating for 30k and making us a laughing stock- he will then bang on about how his fighters are clearing there Morgage yeah right
