Taylor v Burns in WBSS? Baranchyk fight off

From the interview with Hearn yesterday he said Burns is off NYC card and is negotiating a fight with another Brit but refused to say more which is unlike him Which leads me to believe there is no World title fight for Taylor and Baranchyk has pulled out. Tickets have just come out today but bizarrely there is no mention on who is fighting on the card.

The way it's being billed there as the 'Monster semi-finals night' suggests that Taylor v Baranchyk is off as well :cry:

Still going anyway, just a shame it won't be a world title double header! Got to take the opportunity to see Inoue.

Dont understand whats hes doing. Everybody else in the tournament has gone through the exact same thing and they aren't throwing there toys out the pram....it's not like he's been singled out. Makes me think he really dosnt want to fight taylor in Scotland. If he does back out this could cost him a fortune in legal fees

I don't know much about Camosa, but if Sauerland drew up his contract he will be buggered, they tend to have watertight contracts.

I may be wrong, but i'm not aware of any fighter who has had a dispute with Sauerland and came out on top.

It might be for an interim title - Taylor way over due a world shot now, compared to some other Brits.

Burns was declared bankrupt with debts of £400k according to reports.

Hope he’s making a decent wedge or this fight and in his fights since that legal battle.

It depends. Contracts go both ways. If the WBSS haven't lived up to their end of the contract- delays, purse, etc. Well, it will be interesting to find out.

No UK broadcaster has been announced/agreed so it will be YouTube again I'd say.

Agreed - Josh has tweeted not mentioning an opponent but using the hashtag #AndTheNew so wouldn't be surprised at all to see an interim title included vs Burns. It's a shame as I thought him & Baranchyk would have been a good fight & a nice clash of styles.

I hope you're right, the WBSS deserves to be broadcast on TV.

That was after Matchroom lawyers told Burns his contact was nill and void and could walk away from Warren and join him. That worked out.

it isn't that pal, these eastern european fighters will fight anyone home or away - the management are just trying to be tough to deal with (throwing toys out of pram for not getting a hefty bonus)

in some part I say well done, bend the rules but ultimately you gotta turn up and fight!!

Burns was owed money after the courtcase, he just wasn't clever as the person on the other side who liquidates the company thats having action taken against it. So he's basically been told he won't be seeing any of the money that the court ruled he should be paid. There really should be laws in place to prevent this kind of thing.

Absolutely beggars belief that you try to point score and take the side of good ol Mr Allegedly in all of this. If you have a read up about some of the things being claimed in court it's easy to see that if you were a boxer who you'd be looking to deal with and who you wouldn't be looking to deal with.

Yeah Burns received 3 or 4 cheques for Mitchell fight and everyone bounced higher than the previous ones.

Only few weeks ago there was court action against the new company - relating to money.

All the fighters purses should be put into bank with safety net so they get paid properly - they shouldn’t be entering ring not knowing if your cash is coming.

BT already got a show that night, so i doubt they’re going to pick this up, channel 5 should be all over this.

Nobody picked up Flanagan's world title bid.

The TV set up seems a bit odd, think they planned to sell the rights for the entire season in bulk and UK TV companies only wanted to show certain fights.

Maybe a steaming service might pick it up. Or they could go with YouTube again, but maybe get a sponsor or two.

Don't think people will mind watching it for free on YouTube but with a few adds squeezed in between fights.
