Comments Thread For: Andrade: I'm Not Gonna Go Fight Over In Zach Parker's Country For $150 Grand
Had Demetrius Andrade been paid the purse he initially thought he was guaranteed, the American southpaw gladly would've fought England's Zach Parker in Parker's home country.

You've should've made a short-term sacrifice for long-term gain. If Canelo is the payday you wanted, you could've had it by beating Parker. Did you think John Ryder wanted to be fighting on the rival promoter's show for a small purse? NO, but he took the opportunity that you wasted...and he made the most of it. Now he's in line to face Canelo while you're facing Desmond Nicholson.
I used to give Andrade the benefit of the doubt, and I don't think everything has been his fault. But enough is enough. He may wind up becoming a stepping stone over at PBC if he's not careful.

Canelo would of fought someone else coming off a injury too.

That's fair, but at least Andrade would be able to apply pressure on Canelo by becoming mandatory. Andrade may be taking a more unpredictable path because he didn't want to take less money against Parker. Let's be real: how much $$$ is Andrade actually making against Nicholson? I doubt it's much more than $150k, and beating Nicholson doesn't make him a mandatory. There's no guarantee that Benavidez/Plant/Jermall face Andrade, so it currently seems like a foolish move.
I don’t like to go into fighters finances but I can tell you for a fact Andrade would have earned a lot more than 150k. He just didn’t want the fight plain and simple.
