I’m not buying he hid behind the board. Eddie Hearn told him to leave it to go to purse bids and Yarde ducked a career high pay day. Why?
I’m talking about a Buglioni fight, not some BS final eleminator against Burton. Why is it BS?...well Beating Burton would not have guaranted a direct shot against Buglioni who no doubt would have taken a voluntary and then moved up in weight or go and get smashed by Kovalev rather then fight Yarde. Buglioni himself doesn’t want to fight Burton again.. he could have done so on the AJ card when C Johnson pulled out last minute and f he won, he would have been clear of the mandatory situation and been in line for a career high payday that Warren was offering. Meanwhile, Hearn has got Burton fighting against another journeyman over 8 rounds..he’s a real priority for Hearn isn’t he
I wonder what persuades boxers to sign with Warren over Hearn? Maybe Hearn doesn't want em in the first place? That's not to say Warren is a bad promoter it's just the benefits of being on Sky
