There has been plenty of dog turd made PPV over the past 5 years - a little bit of rehearsed acting and the mugs are reeled in.
Headlining???? Can't see him spending large on Burton, especially when he's competing against one of Franks biggest named fighters!!!! If Frank doesn't put money down for Yarde, who will he put money down for? Burton isn't anywhere significant on Hearns roster especially after losing to Buglioni
No obviously not headlining but he would know such a fight would bring great value to the paying customer.
Burton is a tougher fight for Yarde than Buglioni. Styles make fights and all that. Frank aint daft he knows damn well that yarde hasnt been in with anyone yet and no one knows how hes going react to a fighter that can box and is coming to win. If i was promoting Yarde id want the Buglioni fight before the Burton fight. Not because of the belt but because id be more confident with Buglioni.
Yarde has done absolutely nothing to start demanding at this stage of his career. Whats the problem? If he is such a star? He could make good money beating Burton on Sky and moving on from there.
I think Eddie and frank not being able to make Flanagan vs crolla was the last straw in the 'top tier' fighters in their stable fight each other, it's just hbo and showtime all over again
Looks like they don't fancy the Burton fight which is a shame, but it is a massive step-up for Yarde.
Can we officially class Yarde vs Burton as a duck now? Because they didn't want the fight because they said they were past that stage, yet have offered the September fight for Yarde to face Ricky Summers LOL
Hearn made the offer purely because he knew yarde is untested and it was a massive step up for him and the fact Warren probably wudnt want him on a sky show
I agree a fight against Burton is a step-up for Yarde but it's one he has to make sooner or later. Purse bids for the Burton/Yarde fight are on Wednesday, lets hope Wárren doesn't pull out if he loses it.
I'm pretty sure Warren and yarde said they had no intention of fighting burton at a presser last week
Yarde is going to be facing Ryan Ford on the Saunders/Monroe undercard for the vacant WBO inter continental strap.
