Your argument was that the fans, promoters and TV companies didn't want the Galahad fight. Galahad drew far more than Takoucht. If you think that Takoucht and Lara are bigger fights you're deluded.
no one wants to see galahad again after he stunk the place out. josh is a HUGE ticket seller, to deny this is just ridiculous.
Warrington v Takoucht had parts of the arena sectioned off unsold and tickets were given away.
Warrington v Galahad drew a bigger crowd, much more publicity and TV exposure.
Warrington v Galahad is a bigger fight than Warrington v Takoucht or Warrington v Lara. To deny this is just ridiculous.
if the fight sold, it would be made. money talks.

Looks like Warrington could vacate the title if he has to defend against Galahad.

Vacant title then Galahad v Jaza Dickens

Then he'd fight Can for the WBA belt or Gary Russell Jr. which wouldn't only be for the WBC belt but The Ring Mag belt as well. Depending on what LSC is doing with his life, Warrington and Russell are the 2 best at featherweight.

It wont be made simply cos there are bigger and better fish to fry. Its about business. Josh has fought and beat him 3 times. no one is really interested in galahad, his moments gone. Josh can fight anyone and it will sell to a degree. When he's fighting a name in a unification, Barry will be going over old ground vs jazza dickens.

The fact is that the first fight was a snooze fest, mainly thanks to Galahad's spoiling tactics. Nobody really wants to see it again.

Eddie was happy to push for the rematch when Warrington was with Frank, but now he has re signed Josh he is looking for bigger fights for him and will likely try to get Galahad a shot at a vacant belt.

This will no doubt piss Kid off, but Hearn is just doing what all promoters do in these situations, give priority to the fighter who will make him the most money.

Good decision.

IBF are stuck on Kid.

War can now fight for the WBA or WBC belts.
