Aarn did not like the way Hitchins (20-0, 8 kos) chose to announce in the ring after thanking Hearn and Matchroom for taking him “after all”, gaining a world title and fighting Kamboses. Hitch’s decision to announce fans on social media was seen as low class movementshowing unfairness after what Hearn had done for his career since he signed him in 2022.
Hitchins hoped to reveal that he was a free agent while the point of view that would occur would be in a stampede of interest to other promoters, such as Turki Alralikh. However, this is not the case. Hearn says he spoke to Turki and said he would not treat Hitchins unless Matchroom is involved. Thus, unless Richardson returns to the herd of the Matchs Room, his chances of achieving the great money he probably dreams of will be thin.
There is no big money without turki
The fighters that Hitchins called inside the ring, Devin Haney and Teophimo Lopez, will wait for the great money paid for Turki’s Riyadh season on May 2 in New York Times. It was assumed that $ 10 million were paid for tune fights. They will not get this type of money fighting the Hitchins without Turki implying.
Hitchins is not an attractive PPV. So, even if one of the external promoters was interested in fighting between him and Haney or López, they could not guarantee the type of mass they had just paid. Hitchins would obviously want similar money for an event that would not be sold if it were put on PPV. The hemorrhage event money.
I don’t know why Hearn would like to sign Hitchins again because he does not have the style of struggle to become a star. Although he returns to Matchroom, Hearn would have trouble gathering the fights that Hitchins wants against Teophimo, Haney and Ryan Garcia without Turki’s participation.
Hitchins is a launch fighter from the Mayweather’s time of the 1990’s, but his style of struggle is less attractive to see compared to other fighters of this time. In fact, Was in the head Last Saturday for a light contestant Andy Cruz, a boxer/punch, which demolished Hironori Mishiro in five rounds of the co-fund. Cruz stole the program with his performance.
“I was disappointed with the comments of Richardson Hitchins in the ring. And then it means to the world that he is a free agent. He left a very bad taste in his mouth after all the investment we have done in his career,” said Eddie Hearn a The ringGiving his reflections on Richardson Hitchins announcing inside the ring that is a free agent last Saturday.
To get Hitchins the fight against Kamboso was a gift for him, because none of the other remarkable fighters wanted to face him, because he is a defensive and security fighter in a boring style. Without Hearn he set up this struggle with the former Kambos veterinarian, Hitchins would have been hooked on defending his IBF #1 contestant, Subriel Matias.
That guy would puncture holes through Hitchins with the features with which he would hit him. Other dangerous sharks that were taken in a weak champion like Hitchins. For example, Ernesto Mercado and Keyshawn Davis party in Hitchins because he would have nothing to avoid.
“We did an incredible job for Richardson Hitchins. We kept it pleasant and busy; he headed it four times. I had an unpleasant call from Turki Alshikh this morning, which has confirmed Will only treat Matchroom moving forward To Richardson Hitchins. So we will start these discussions, “said Hearn.
Hitchins will have to decide if he wants to return to Hearn, if he will still have it or will risk the free agents market. He may not like what he finds. Those fighters that Hitchins called, Haney and Teophimo, will disagree with him for less money than they obtained for their adjustments on May 2. Why would they want to fight a defensive artist like Hitchins, unless they have larger purses than those who have just received?
“I want to thank Eddie Hearn and Matchroom for two years of getting my career at the top. I go to the free agency Now. Therefore, there are many options, “said Hitchins to Post-Lluit Interview Last Saturday after shoting the Shopworn George Kamboses JR, where he announced that he was a free agent and was immediately fattening by New York fans for this lower class movement.
“I want the big fights. After my last struggle, I called Teophimo right away. Obviously, he has other plans, so I don’t know what’s next. I’m looking at the camera. Devin Haney,” Hitch said, who later shouted explosives in a call from Haney.
