Eddie Hearn is asking IBF obligatory Karen Chukhadzhian’s workforce to permit the combat in opposition to Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis to be staged in Philadelphia as a part of a doubleheader with Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez on November ninth.
Hearn is on this predicament of needing to ask Chukhadzhian’s workforce to make the combat in Philadelphia as a result of he misplaced the purse bid.
If Hearn had put the cash right down to win the bid, he wouldn’t have needed to negotiate. In the long run, it could have been less expensive for Hearn if he’d gained the bid.
There’s a lesson for the Matchroom promoter: Suppose in the long run with out contemplating future penalties. Eddie Hearn wasn’t so involved about saving a little bit cash; he would have gained the purse bid for the Boots Ennis vs. Karen Chukhadzhian combat.
It’ll be unhealthy for Boots Ennis if he’s pressured to combat Chukhadzhian in Germany on November ninth as a result of that would spoil Hearn’s plans for a doubleheader with WBC tremendous flyweight champion Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez defending in opposition to Pedro Guevara within the co-feature.
With Bam Rodriguez off the cardboard and Boots combating Chukhadzhian alone with a skeleton crew on the undercard, it gained’t usher in good numbers on DAZN.
If Hearn was contemplating putting Boots’ November ninth combat on PPV, he might neglect about that. Followers gained’t pay to see a dreary rematch between Ennis and the defensive artist Chukhadzhian.
“We’re speaking to Chukhadzhian’s workforce. Actually, we wish him to unify, however we are able to solely do this if we take the Chukhadzhian combat,” stated Eddie Hearn to the Boxing Information channel about Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis’ subsequent combat on November ninth.
In the long run, Hearn might win up paying Staff Chukhadzhian much more cash for them to come back to Philadelphia than if he’s merely gained the purse bid. Once more, Hearn is shortsighted along with his view of issues.
He might have prevented the Chukhadzhian combat altogether if he had negotiated the unification match for Boots Ennis with WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. by giving him the additional $500K that he needed. Once more, that is one other instance of Hearn’s short-sighted view of issues. He’s unwilling to speculate cash with out seeing the long-term penalties of making an attempt to avoid wasting a number of quid.
“So, we most likely will take that combat [with Chukhadzhian] and see if [Brian] Norman can get up or, if not, try to combat Stanionis or Barrios,” stated Hearn.” Boots is in no rush to maneuver to 154 earlier than he unifies. So, for me, I’d like him to do this, however it could imply going by with that combat [Chukhadzhian].’
For the subsequent spherical of negotiations with hearn, Brian Norman Jr’s asking value will possible enhance from the $2.2 million that he needed this time. As soon as Norman Jr’ turns in one other sparking efficiency in his title protection in opposition to Derrieck Cuevas on November eighth, he might want within the ballpark of $3 million for a unification combat with Ennis.
In different phrases, Hearn may have missed the boat by being too low cost when negotiating with Norman Jr, wrecking Boots’ probabilities of ever turning into undisputed champion at welterweight.
“We’d take that combat now. He desires that combat unhealthy,” stated Hearn about whether or not Boots Ennis would transfer as much as 154 if a combat in opposition to Terence Crawford had been provided to him.
Crawford vs. Ennis combat won’t ever occur as a result of Hearn would by no means have the ability to negotiate that match-up with out His Excellency Turki Alalshikh stepping in to give you the funds.
With Hearn nickel-and-diming in making an attempt to barter offers on Boots Ennis’ behalf, he would by no means have the ability to put collectively a combat in opposition to Crawford. The Nebraska native would possible need $20 million for a combat in opposition to Boots Ennis, which might put Hearn in a state of shock.
