    If Andrade’s record is padded then how exactly do you describe Parker’s?! **** me. Definition of padded.

    Andrade for me has rode his luck far too long now, no doubt he's a real slick and technically gifted boxer and I'm hoping the move to SMW reinvigorates him. He is losing some advantages he'd had at MW though and I can see him losing soon.

    well yeah obviously, it's about time now Parker steps it up. But the difference is Parker is 27 and turned pro in 2015,. Andrade turns 34 in 2 weeks, and has been a pro since 2008!

    I'm assuming you're a Andrade fanboy. Surely even Andrade fans can't deny for a guy whos been world champ since 2013 he has a ridiculously poor resume. He's at the end of his career yet he literally has no top wins. His record is like the equivalent of a European champ/ or fringe world level fighters resume.

    Parker isn’t better either. He robbed Williams who then retired straight afterwards.

    I’m not an Andrade fan boy. It’s just blatantly obvious there’s a huge gulf in class between them.

    He’s had 10 world title fights against those the WBO put in front oh him.

    there is no one with a better resume than him at 160 because it’s a **** poor division

    Purse bids tomorrow and 65/35 split in Andrade's favour.

    Could this fetch 3m and be an outdoor event in Pride Park? It's not PPV so will need a big gate if purse bids are high.

    Also based on this split, would Andrade come to the UK for less than 2m?

    I wouldn't be surprised if Andrade pulls out and Hearn makes him fight Lerrone Richards instead. That would be a serious snoozefest.

    Think Nathan Heaney may play a part here. If he is on the card. Can see him bringing at least 3,000 to Pride Park.

    Derbys mini revival this year will help ticket sales as well.

    Just depends I guess what Eddie think Andrade brings in the US. Parker is an absolute nobody for a US audience as well. Smaller that Liam Williams

    Purse bids won by Queensberry.

    However he has managed it, Frank is actually looking like he's emerging as a force again.

    Good purses but not ludicrous to get a profit on this

    $1,834,050 by Queensberry & $1,750,000 bid by Matchroom.

    With Matchroom having the 65% fighter, $1.75m isnt alot for one of your headline US fighters.

    He just must not sell at all in the US. Said earlier it would be an even smaller fight than the Liam Williams one.

    Birmingham, London and Derby the 3 listed potential venues. Would love it to be Derby, Birmingham wouldn't be terrible either

    Eddie is a flat USD fee. Can see he’s tried to put it on a US show. Clearly isn’t a big draw.
