    Don't be so silly, of course Hearn would rather have Andrade pick up the belt against an easier opponent which could help open up much more lucrative and glamorous fights for their targeted American audience. Americans don't give a hoot about BJS so it's not a travesty if this fight falls through. Fights against Golovkin, Charlo and an in house fight with Jacobs all do better business.

    I'm not knocking your hero Hearn. All promoters would be thinking the same.

    If Billy gets stripped Id predict he balloons up to Furyesque levels and we never see him again

    He is going to be ****ed! No belt doesn't sell tickets not much of a draw. i can't see too many fighters wanting to fight him without the belt with his style and skill level, gonna be very hard for him to get back to the top.

    I would disagree with that mate first off Hearn wanted Andrade to have a couple of warm up fights before jumping in with Saunders. This is a toss up on paper. Add to that Billy reportedly is getting best part of 3 million dollers.

    Hearn will be paying this Zambian replacement peanuts in comparasion. Don't get me wrong it's a great fight but Idont see Saunders being on it off the show really effecting the amount of subscribers the amount they will save by not having to pay his huge purse will be more i feel .

    Andrade with that belt also gives Hearn a huge advantage trying to talk the likes of GGG , Canelo and Jacobs into signing for DAZN.

    What ever Eddie spouts on IFL about wanting this fight for the " fans " is total rubbish!!!

    I'm not disputing whether Hearn would prefer Andrade fighting someone else right now.

    I'm disputing that Hearn would have any say on the commission decision.

    This is all on team Saunders. If the fight doesn't go ahead they only have themselves to blame

    Hearn said date for hearing. Can't recall it off too my my head but its not long before the fight.

    Should be stripped. Broke the rules he signed up for.

    No way the WBO strips him, that would be like Frank stripping him! Oh ye that’s exactly what it would be actually....

    To be honest he’s a good fighter no doubt but having to cheat is a put off in his legacy and being a knob out of the ring too just means he will be forgotten quickly! He nearly had the world at his feet and just about threw it all away it seems through not keeping his mouth and nose shut!

    That means he’s not getting stripped if the commission are happily leaving it late.

    Oh and I agree. ANY fighter caught breaking rules particularly involving drug use should be stripped and banned immediately.

    I was listening to the Fight Diciples podcast on this. Their opinion seems to be that he’s broke no rules, and that it can be taken out of competition which is 12 hours before and after the fight. They believed it was just some underhand journalist trying to make a name for himself off the back of the bad press the previous week.

    I know this is going against the cynicism we all naturally have on here...but could this actually all just be a nasal spray that he’s legitimately allowed to use outside of competiton?
