No deal has been reached between the camps of former two-weight world champion Demetrius “BooBoo” Andrade (31-0, 19 KOs) and Zach Parker (22-0, 16 KOs) for the WBO-ordered interim super middleweight title clash, therefore the WBO Championship Committee has scheduled a purse bid for September 20 at WBO Headquarters in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The minimum purse bid is $300,000. If the fight lands in the home country of one of the combatants, the purse split will be 60/40 for the visitor. If the fight takes place in a neutral country, the split is 50/50. Both fighters must respond in writing within 48 hours confirming that they will participate.
I’m not sure if this fight will even happen now?
BooBoo has been ducking everyone and will most likey be looking for the winner of Benn Vs Eubank Jr
300k to split between a full fight card. i mean, what is one making. Day jobs pay more.
Tom:
– I read that as $300k purse bid for the Andrade / Parker fight only….
– I could be wrong.
– Take care.
Haha BooBoo fighting an elite fighter again. People keep talking this guy up and he continues to fight lesser competition, no disrespect to Parker. I guarantee you if this fight goes ahead, BooBoo will win via 12 points.
Frank Warren won the bid the last time, I wonder if he’ll get it again this time. Andrade – Parker wouldn’t look bad at all on the Fury – Joshua undercard if they can get that together.
Not exactly a must see.
Will anyone bid?
Of course they will-it is for the prestigious interim super middleweight title.
Embarrassed to admit that I have never heard of Zach Parker. I’ll do a Box Rec search on him.
Andrade will somehow get out of this fight to keep trying to get a Canelo payday. Andrade will fight some if he knows there isn’t a risk.
How does Andrade get away with fighting so many nobodies?
Mungia declined a fight with Boo Boo.
