Update: Today’s scheduled Andrade-Williams WBO purse bid was averted when promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren struck a deal. Hearn tweeted the following:
Pleased to announce terms have been agreed for @BooBooAndrade to face @Liamwilliamsko for the @WorldBoxingOrg World title in April in the USA – full details coming soon! @DAZNBoxing
A purse bid for the WBO mandatory middleweight championship contest between Demetrius Andrade and Liam Williams is scheduled for today at 4PM UK time at the British Boxing Board of Control Headquarters in Cardiff, Wales. The minimum bid is $200,000. If the bout lands in the U.S., the split is 75/25 for champion Andrade. If the bout lands in the U.K., the split is 80/20 for Andrade. Andrade is promoted by Eddie Hearn, Williams is promoted by Frank Warren.
This will bore the fk out of me watching Boo Boo fight.
The minimum bid is $200,000…I’m out!
For a variety of reasons, the top fighters will only fight Andrade if they have noooooo choice.
I was surprised they couldn’t get together on this sooner. I guess they just needed some motivation. Seems like a lot to go through for a such a surely routine fight.
Well, at least Liam comes to fight..unfortunately, Andrade will make it a snooze fest and then complain about the other top fighters being “afraid” to fight him.
And he wouldn’t be wrong.
His nick name is boo boo for a reason.. cause people watching are gonna boo this boring fight
I still can’t believe Hearn can’t secure him a big fight by now. He’s a total joke. GGG is there and that would be a major clash. I would love to see that. They are on the same network. Should’ve put him and BJS in the ring in November. Something! Don’t care if people think Boo Boo is boring. He’s a tactical fighter and nobody has pushed him yet. Let’s go Andrade!!!!
On a $200,000 purse bid, does that mean the fighters share the $200,000? So if it’s 75/25 split, Andrade get’s $150,000 and Beefy gets $50,000? Are we in the 1960’s?
