Hearn knows he has one cash out opportunity with Hughes so he’s trying to get as much money as possible out of it hence why he didn’t want him to go and fight Garcia on a Golden Boy show.
Hearn hasn’t announced anything. Perhaps he was too busy reading a 270 document to notice Hughes leaving Can’t wait for Garcia v Tank.
Bit harsh tbh, in reality do promoters care a great deal for their fighters ? Probably not and im sure Hearn is no exception. Is this fight realisticially gonna happen ? Probably not. However if im Maxi Hughes woulfnibturn diwn what is likley to be a career high payday ? Even if i know im gonna get beat easily ? Absolutley not and id be angry if my promoter blocked it.
Maxi not with MR anymore. Steffy put something on IG a few week ago saying Maxi sorted this fight by himself whilst steffy was on holiday, steffy came back and Maxi had done a deal with this unnamed opponent and steffy just sent off the odds and ends for the solicitors to deal with. As @DramaShow has mentioned, the rumour mill is saying its Kamboses the deal is done with. TBA shortly, apparently.
U think Maxi VS kambo is another Loma vs Crolla? If that's what anyones suggesting I don't agree. Apart from Maxi getting shafted on the cards over in Oz I expect it to be quite close. Not sure how we'll GK deals.with southpaws but in the very least Maxi is a good boxer with good movement and good defence. George seems to be one of those that fights better away from home add into the fact that he doesn't seem to shine quite as much against mobile boxers I think Maxi has a real chance in this fight, barring getting done over on the cards in Oz of course.
aim to fight on the biggest stages and against the best opponents possible? nah he should tick over at the York ‘All for 10k instead. clearly a lot of Lerrone Richards fans in this thread.
