Callum Smith has now recieved an offer to fight Billy Joe Saunders on BT Sport PPV

It certainly looks more like bjs side want it rather than smiths

 

This fight would of been great but Joe Gallaghers arsehole is flapping at the the thought of it.

BJS behaviour out the ring has made him public enemy #1, people want to see him beaten up...Callum Smith is a great fighter but I dont see him beating Saunders.

 

Do you honestly think if it was 50/50 on sky BJS and Warren would’ve accepted it?

Be real.

 

This fight makes so much sense that its bound to not happen.Who else are they going to fight at 168?Place is a wasteland

 

Why wouldn’t they? Frank accepted Hearn’s offer for Billy Joe to box Andrade on DAZN absolutely no bother. If they received the offer from Smith’s team to box on Sky or DAZN there’s no reason to suggest they wouldn’t accept.

As expected Smith’s side don’t want it.

 

I hope the fight happens but if we are being honest, BT is an unproven ppv platform so even if it was a 50/50 split you would want it on Sky as it's highly likely to do more numbers on their. In Smity
Hs case he can also get big money fighting on DAZN. I could understand why he might want a higher % of the purse, I just hope though that the fight gets made as it would be a great contest. Weirdly enough it would do less buys than Whyte v Chisora which thinking about it is mental.

 

When was the last time Warren let a fighter fight on SKY?

 

I don’t know and I don’t particularly care. I’ve already responded to your first comment with a pretty sufficient argument that Warren would probably allow Saunders to box Smith on Sky/DAZN because he accepted Andrade’s offer.

 

Because it hasn’t happened that’s why conveniently don’t care.

What happened when he accepted Andrade’s offer? Oh yeah he was caught cheating.

Yarde has been offered multiple fights on SKY too. All been turned down.

So all the evidence points to there’s not a chance Saunders and Warren would accept a sky offer.

 

How come Billy Hoe ducked Andrade second time around?

 

It has happened and I just cba doing the research to determine which Warren boxers have boxed on Sky at this time of day. Skeete boxed on Sky to destroy Eggington on a Matchroom show so it has happened.

Saunders failing a drug test is an irrelevance to this discussion. You asked whether we really think Warren would have accepted an offer to box Smith on Sky. I replied pointing out that they accepted an offer to box Andrade on Sky and DAZN. That should be enough to end that line of argument really. Quite simple.

Again Yarde... what has that got to do with this thread? For what it’s worth both sides there were making each other offers. In fact Warren made the highest offer which was a £150k purse if I remember correctly for Buglioni to box Yarde. And Buglioni and Hearn scoffed at that offer, insisting it’s too low. And Buglioni then retired shortly after...

Bottom line is that Smith has turned down a fair offer and we know that Saunders accepted an offer to box on DAZN and Sky previously.

I know you’re from Liverpool so no doubt you’ll back your guy but it’s plain to see that Smith’s side is the blocker here. They haven’t even made a counter offer for the fight to take place on Sky as far as we know.

 

He did so to win a SMW world title, presumably to add weight behind their attempt to land a fight with Smith. It was the right move, they’d be stupid to not pick up an easy world title like that. Blame the WBO for ranking Isufi so highly.

 

They have. They’re in DEEP NEGOTIATIONS and we all know how long they can take. Let’s wait and see how it plays out. I said on page 1 it wouldn’t be accepted.

 

He didn’t win it. He was gifted it against someone who was conveniently placed in the rankings and then removed straight away afterwards. He was also rocked against the mighty Isuzu.
