Filip Hrgovic vs Demsey McKean

Yeah cos he's fighting AJ... If you're not being sarcastic, how isn't that obvious to you?

 

He's exaggerating. But Hearn said a few times that nobody in the division wants to fight Andrande. Including GGG , so do you agree with that?

I said the whole top 15 didn't turn the fight down didn't I ?

 

McKean has stopped Jonathan Rice late, after getting hurt and beaten earlier in that fight. It's not a lot, but Rice is no joke, he went the distance with Ajagba and gave Yoka hell in his 2nd pro fight.

 

Hearn stated that Ruiz, Ortiz, Yoka and Martin all turned down the offer to fight Hrgovic.

 

Lol. Way to get an easy title shot.

 

Where's the proof?
Are you aware Hrgovic would want a higher split than Ruiz because he's ranked higher than him by the IBF? You aware that just like Ortiz he is on a different network? From what I heard Martin is fighting Whyte.
Yoka would probably turn it down cos it's too early for him.

 

Well Hearn says offers were made so we only have is word that is true but if it wasn't you'd think the fighters named would quickly claim otherwise. So until one of them denies an offer was made then we can assume offers were made.

In regards to Hrgovic/Ruiz surely that's only if it goes to purse bids because they can't agree terms? Obviously Ruiz being the bigger name should expect the bigger purse and Hearn and Hrgovic would know this and their offer would reflect that?

Ortiz doesn't have an exclusive network deal if he does why has he called out fighters on other networks? I don't see that being a stumbling block in regards to negotiations.

Whyte last I heard was fighting Jermaine Franklin. When Martin called out Whyte, Whyte dismissed him as a possible opponent.

Yoka is the same age as Hrgovic and turned pro before him, he's only fought 2 fights less than Hrgovic, if it's too early for Yoka then it's too early for Hrgovic. But it is a risky fight to take so soon and I don't see a problem with Yoka wanting a slower career trajectory at this early stage.

 

Hunter has been bumped off the top 15 for turning the fight down. The same would happen to Ruiz if he was refused the fight. I don't assume what any promoter says is fact and neither do you.
I'd sooner belive that Ruiz doesn't have a clue or cares what Hearn says in YouTube interviews. There's been no reports of Ruiz Hrgovic fight or negotiations by any of the major publications so whats there to deny?

 

Credit to the Aussie for going there

No other professional seemed willing bar the Savage

 

well, offer might be 100000 or 1m or 10 m purse etc, offer is offer.
Technically offer had been made up.

Btw not related to this topic: one promoter ( this guy was not eddie! ) told mass media that he is ready to offer for fight vs his boxer sum 10x and in reality he had sent contract offer for sum approx 1x , this means 10 X lesser $ to supposed his boxer's opponent.
Then you get it.

 

Just stating who Hearn specified who turned down the chance to fight Hrgovic. If you choose to believe it, its up to you.

For me, I think Ruiz is turning it down because he will probably have a higher paying fight against an easier opponent in Ortiz . I wouldn't be surprised if Martin is lined to fight Whyte after Franklin later on in the year.

All boxing politics and greed. The boxers should jumping at the chance to be in an IBF mandatory - IBF as we know actually enforce their mandatories and don't muck guys about like the WBC

 

I think that yeah, he most likely does not follow eddie and his channels.

 

He just doesn't bring anything to the table for guys like Ruiz, Parker etc. That's not how boxing works. Babic wants to fight Hrgovic but you wouldn't class that as a duck because Savage hasn't beaten anyone to Warrant the fight.

 

Ask GGG, it is hard being the Boogeyman.
