Lol yeah. Especially when Danny Garcia could have opted to face, say, Juan Manuel Marquez (as Drenlou suggested). JMM has name value and would bring interest in the form of the Mexican fight fans, plus the whole Mexico vs Puerto Rico rivalry would have been an angle used to sell that particular fight. As for the Canelo vs Smith comparison: at least Liam Smith brought a world title to the table; what does Sam Eggington really have to offer? Eggington was comprehensively schooled by Bradley Skeete, and is European level at the very best.
The way hearn was saying it, he made it sound like he told him Gavin was the better option and was more popular and was shocked when they asked for eggington instead
I've never understood this notion why people think Hearn is lying about everything. I believe what he says much more than the vast majority of promoters. He'll exaggerate things to sell an event but I don't think he tells outright lies.
im with you, but when hes talking about Garcia and Sam fu**ing Eggington, its hard to tell which way is up
700k? Lmfao what you think Garcia is a peasent? He will be getting 2 million plus to fight the likes of eggington
haha al haymon has gone through 600 million of other peoples money, he knows the higher he's fighters purses the more money he gets from he's cut. eggington is a super fight after all, ppv money on top of that
Total bs, Eggington doesn't deserves a shot at Danny Garcia. Who has he fought to get a shot at DSG? Eggginton needs to fight a few names before getting to Danny.
jesus id love if that fight had come off by the time the fight had came around sky sports and hearn would have convinced the uk eggington was odds on favorite
