Thing with this is Eddie Hearn has been trying to keep these apart, this is IMO a consequence of this BT deal. If hearns fighters ain't getting the fights they want there is now another route especially for the ones Hearn really wants to keep.
Really? Hearn gets to move the British title from one of his fighters to another one presuming Campbell wins. Why would he have been trying to keep Cardle away from anyone?
Campbell on a interview a few months ago claimed he had been asking for the cardle fight well before even the Mendy loss, Hearn kept saying no. Simple really mate rather have two fights in his stable keep winning and apart than one getting beat at British level, I mine where does the loser go??? Called milking the fighters to the level the promoter thinks he can get too.
Cardle isn't a big ticket seller and is never going to get near world level. I don't see what Eddie gets by protecting him. If he wouldn't give Campbell the fight it's probably because he thought might lose. Campbell vs Mendez is the most obviously fixed fight i've ever seen. Hearn will be trying to maximise his earnings from Campbell, Cardle is an after thought.
