Khan and Ortiz should fight each other...

good fight but dont think it can happen at this time

I believe Ortiz didn't have a multi-fight contract with Showtime...as far as I know Showtime picked up Ortiz vs Berto and that was it...and now it's null and void. http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/7277697/date-victor-ortiz-andre-berto-2-choices-sources-say ^^^ last I heard was that showtime hasnt done multi fight contracts for a while

He is not a Showtime fighter. What that dude meant is that Showtime had the rights for Ortiz-Berto. So if the show will go on obviously the fight is going to be on Showtime if they still want to televise it since they had the rights to the original show. Same thing for HBO with Khan-Peterson. After this, Khan-Ortiz if they wanted on HBO or Showtime. But, for right now it can't and won't happen. Maidana or Morales will be the one facing Khan. And, Josesito Lopez might be the one facing Ortiz. I'd rather see Maidan vs Ortiz and Morales vs Khan if that's the case...although Khan vs Ortiz would make more money for both Showtime and HBO if they did a joint promotion like they did for Tyson vs Lewis. Both Berto vs Ortiz and Khan vs Peterson were going to be bigger money makers than the match-ups you are talking about...I would hate to see two uneventful fights. Who wants to see Josesito Lopez vs Victor Ortiz? *Edit* Just noticed this... http://www.boxingscene.com/maidana-approached-ortiz-talks-training-amir-khan--53036

Yeah...Showtime out-bid HBO for the Ortiz-Berto rematch...that's it. Ortiz is not obligated to Showtime for and thing else at the moment since the fight is cancelled. The card isn't cancelled. Golden Boy and Showtime are working on finding a replacement on 5 weeks notice. Ortiz will still be fighting next month.

didnt vic just fight floyd on HBO ppv? Yeah...Showtime out-bid HBO for the Ortiz-Berto rematch...that's it. Ortiz is not obligated to Showtime for and thing else at the moment since the fight is cancelled.

didnt vic just fight floyd on HBO ppv? Yeah, but he still has a contract to fight 6/23 on Showtime. The card isn't cancelled. Golden Boy and Showtime are working on a replacement for Ortiz on that date. Khan has his deal with HBO and Victor HAS to fight someone on Showtime. So the fight can't happen...

No chance . Khan has a HBO contract . Vic has a Showtime one. didnt vic just fight floyd on HBO ppv?

On the subject Khan is not man enough to take on Ortiz.

It would be a big money fight...it would be good for GBP and the fans and boxing in general. It's the type of fight that the sport needs.

It wouldnt happen even without the HBO/Showtime stuff. GBP wants both guys along with Canelo to carry the company. They arent going to let them take eachother out when there are plenty of other guys they can fight There's that too . Just putting the info out there before the inevitable "ducking" accusations start flying.

Nope. I don't know about Vic but Khan signed a four fight deal with HBO after the McCloskey fight and even if his cancelled fight with Peterson counted towards that contract he'd still owe them one fight I believe Ortiz didn't have a multi-fight contract with Showtime...as far as I know Showtime picked up Ortiz vs Berto and that was it...and now it's null and void. http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/7277697/date-victor-ortiz-andre-berto-2-choices-sources-say

Wouldn't both contracts be void at this stage since the fights have been cancelled? Nope. I don't know about Vic but Khan signed a four fight deal with HBO after the McCloskey fight and even if his cancelled fight with Peterson counted towards that contract he'd still owe them one fight

No chance . Khan has a HBO contract . Vic has a Showtime one.

Wont happen, sorry. More likely: Khan vs Morales & Ortiz vs Maidana.
