    WBO tweeted purse bids meeting for 6pm 25th July

    If Hearn wins, Andrade would get a 20% split, with BJS receiving 80%.

    I reckon Andrade / Hearn will pull out of the fight. He already plans for him to fight Jacobs instead in 2019.

    A fight in which I can't see a victory for Andrade and poor financial incentives.......

    He'd probably be best to pull out, but he loses to Jacobs too.
    (Obviously the finances would be better tho).

    80/20 split is ridiculous

    Its not ridiculous at all. Warren has a date at the O2 for the fight in the champions Country, where Andrade would get a higher split. But instead of taking the deal they will go to purse bids. So it's their own fault. They deserve only 20%

    WTF ever happened to fans wanting to see the best fight the best. I keep seeing fans justify or even suggest fighters not fight each other because of the reward. WTF

    I hear ya.. it seems that die hard boxing fans just understand the business and won’t get our hopes up.. I really wanna see Andrade vs BJS but I know how the business works so I can see why Hearn would suggest Andrade to go the ibf route.. this all hinges on DJ defeating Chenko which I don’t think is a forgone conclusion

    • Frank asked for it to go to purse bids because Andrades team never responded to their offer
    • 80-20 if its in the states, 75-25 if its in the UK
    • Andrade wants a warm up but that cant happen due to purse bids being called. Fight has to be made or he gives up his mandatory position and they will go to the next highest ranked contender

    Sounds like Andrade gonna duck
