Ryan Garcia vs. Luke Campbell is being staged in the US. So I suspect that one will be.

October 31st was the date I most recently heard, but things are a bit up in the air at the moment, because Hearn recently confessed his reluctance to stage behind-closed-door events.

And I guess at that time of the year, the bad weather will prevent bouts being staged in his own back garden.

He said something about the guys needing to take a pay cut on IFL

A few years back, he said Sky need to increase their rights fees or whatever is was..

But it's true, boxers are earning way more than they're worth.

Risk aside, you're paid your worth.

If anyone is asking to be overpaid, then put it on PPV, and put their purse on a % base. Then they'll see how many people want to buy their fight and get paid according to that.

Persuading these guys to accept a pay cut will be an interesting discussion.

Eddie Hearn doesn't exclusively promote Chisora or Usyk, they also work with Sauerland and K2 respectively. So they're not contractually-obliged to compete solely on Matchroom fight cards.

Neither guy are PPV draws, so it's entirely feasible this fight falls through, especially if both men are capable of facing easier opposition for a similar payday (depending on the extent of the pay cut Hearn will attempt to impose).

Was Andrade vs Williams ordered? I'd expect that though Liam has a fight scheduled.
