Oh my, Haney and BJS on the undercard https://twitter.com/Ozzysmith1/status/1164855171542867969?s=19
Even if it's a bit ridiculous, fighting on the undercard should do wonders for their profile in the US, especially in gaining new young fans. People who like that idiot Logan Paul are probably going to like BJS and his antics lol.
Provided that they will be matched against someone decent who stylistically can make for a good fight.
PBC didn't want to get their PPV numbers destroyed......
Sources: Deontay Wilder-Luis Ortiz 2 is likely moving off Nov. 9 with Nov. 23 now targeted for the heavyweight title bout. One reason date keeps shifting: both Fox and Showtime expect to carry the PPV fight, and it hasn’t been sorted. @JakeNDaBox reports Las Vegas as likely site— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) August 14, 2019
Nothing done yet, but it’s believed with @STAPLESCenter now booked on Nov. 9, that the best place for the Deontay Wilder @BronzeBomber Luis Ortiz @kingkongboxing rematch (slightly more important than the second @LoganPaul-@KSIOlajidebt) is Las Vegas.— Lance Pugmire (@pugboxing) August 14, 2019
Bad bad decision to go up against Paul/KSI. The PPV buys will definitely be impacted!!! Move it back a week or suffer the consequences!
