Where does Yarde fit in?

Yeah and he also lost to him. I’m not going to rate him above domestic level until he wins above domestic level.

 

Yeah, Hearn and Warren are desperate to do business together

 

Still a million miles better resume than buatsi.

His record is beyond padded least yarde has fought a decent domestic fighter in Arthur and albeit past it still fought kovalev

Buatsi has fought no one

 

That was obviously not the real Yarde, as he proved the second fight

 

Yardes career is a massive flop so far

 

You know people wait for title shots. Buatsi would do exactly the same

 

He draws big ratings. He’s already made high 7 figures. He’s scheduled to be chief support on the Wembley card. He’s lined up for a shot at the winner of Beterbiev-Smith which would be a massive fight in the UK.

If that’s a flop 99% of all fighters would want to be one.

 

This seems wildly inaccurate. What are your calculations?

 

He did but his tactics were risky in the rematch, another round or two and he'd probably have been blowing his arse. Credit where it's due though he did win fair and square

 

Hearn made the offer but Warren turned it down.

 

I’d like to see yarde vs azeez next

 

Yes Yarde’s career beats the brakes of bum killer Buatsi

Firstly Yarde has actually had the bollocks to face a top domestic compatriot twice .

Secondly Yarde has fought for a world title.

Also I am certain that Yarde is more popular and gets more in sponsorship money per year than Buatsi.

 

Firstly, not claiming to be a big authority on the matter, but Yarde doing big numbers is news to me, secondly, hes made 7figs, fair play to him, thats what good marketing can do and its nice to see people get a lump, but still (in my opinion) from a sporting perspective his career is still a flop at the moment, the hype doesnt match the results

Most of the people I talk boxing with dont give a f**k about Yarde, and i dont go much on him either, so maybe thats where we differ

 

He turned down $1m from Canelo to step aside for him so he could fight Kovalev. Yarde was paid big time for that fight.

 

Because he has a title shot lined up. He’s also one of BTs top attractions, so he was never going to agree. The same way, Benn fighting Avanesyan on BT is totally out of the question.

Things can change, but Arum has gone on record to say he brings the Beterbiev-Smith winner over here to fight Yarde next. The only thing that can realistically get in the way, would be if Canelo comes calling but now that he is busy with DAZN that should clear the way.

If Andrade - Parker is worth 1.8m then Yarde in a unification on BT PPV will probably have around 5-6m in the kitty.

I get there’s lots of ifs and buts there, but that’s the business and whatever is on the table for Buatsi would be peanuts in comparison.
