Hope BoxNation/BT Sports picks it up. I don't think Hearn wants anything to do with Degale honestly. Warren just wants to feed him to Saunders.
Wouldn't be a bad move imo it's going to be golovkin Vs Saunders for all the title and when Saunders loses his just lost to the best and providing degale has his title back not a bad fight degale is much bigger but with him been on the slide it will probably be a 50/50 fight
It's in Vegas 7th April , last chance saloon for Degale , personally he looked shot in the first fight and I am doubtful his condition could resurrected in such a short time .
For the money DeGale wants he's not a viable option for any UK promoter as he doesn't sell tickets. If he stayed with Hearn he would have been selling out the 02 instead him and Selby CO headlining can't sell out the copperbox.
Warren must have blown a ton of money on that card because the crowd was like 1,000 only. He paid over the odds for Selby and Degale and Degale totally backfired on him. Hennessy-tier promoting.
Degale and Selby have never been ticket sellers though - I doubt frank was expecting a sell out. I think it was more about delivering big names/viewing figures for BT
I don’t disagree about the names and viewing figures but the point stands, he must have made a loss on that. Also with Degale it was definitely about the long term for Frank there. He had his eyes on the Groves rematch and mentioned Emirates on IFL.
Definitely if he beats Traux. BJS comfortably outboxed Degale IMO and moves on to WBSS winner for unification.
He was definitely anticipating a sell out. He threw big money at the pair, of course you’re expecting a good return on that.
Eddie tried explaining this to degale. Telling him he needs to be built up in the UK. He didn't want to accept that though. Felt he was a PPV star.
