Not sure avoid is the right work, but in terms of doing business, it's quickly shunned.pimp wrote:No
They have worked together on lower profile fights. Burton vs. Shinkwin and Eggington vs. Skeete, although that was a purse bid.
Re: Hearn avoiding warren?
I'd be very interesting to know the ins and outs of the offers Warren has made.
If he makes an offer for Crolla to fight on a Warren card, on BN, to face Flanagan, with Crolla guaranteed X, but Crolla can make more than double that fighting someone like Burns, then Warren's offer means nothing. He made seemingly dozens of offers in 90's/00's for Hopkins and Johnson to come to the UK for Calzaghe - but they mysteriously never happened.

Exactly. Saying you've offered Brook 500k after the GGG fight has been announced is pointless.dirk2686 wrote:I'd be very interesting to know the ins and outs of the offers Warren has made.

Re: Hearn avoiding warren?
I know for a fact that the Crolla offer was legit, Hearn then overpaid Crolla to take the first Linares fight. The first Linares fight should have also been a PPV, teaming up with, I think, a fight abroad, but I can't remember the exact fight what it was. Hence Hearn willing to pay huge money to Crolla.dirk2686 wrote:I'd be very interesting to know the ins and outs of the offers Warren has made.

Crolla has no business at light-welter either, he's simply not big enough, there's a few domestic lads I'd back to beat Crolla at light-welter.

Even if Hearn 'overpaid' Crolla to fight Linares, it's still Linares; not like he's skipping Flanagan to fight some nobody.ozzy1875 wrote:I know for a fact that the Crolla offer was legit, Hearn then overpaid Crolla to take the first Linares fight.

Meanwhile Frank keeps doing his best to make the best offers around and ends up only being able to get Orlando Cruz. The big fights happen if there is money to be made from them. At present it appears Crolla is generating cash and Flanagan simply isn't.
