They took away life changing money for him and his family. Now he's going to risk it all again for the smallest piece of a small pie. If offered anything less than 7 figures (a million dollars US), might as well just show up for 5 rounds, quit on his stool and announce his retirement after telling the WBO where to go and how to get there. Just my opinion..
Its champions at 130 that dont make 1 million dollar purses. And you think a challenger should make 1 million?
Smh...
Spray_resistant the undemanded mando can co-main for this main event against a kickboxer that nobody asked for
Big Boss Saudi Turki takes care of these guys
Turki isn't involved in this card
Floyd hasn't comeback he does exhibitions for money. Pac fights legit boxers like barios
It's funny you brought up pac and barrios. Because those are his potential opponents in his come back fight.
Floyd will choose barrios if he beats ryan tonight. It would give Floyd the chance to become the oldest champion of all time.
If barrios loses to ryan tonight. Then floyd will fight Pacquiao again
Something is missing. Why Ortiz is not targetting Fundora or Spence. He will make way money than what he makes with Boots.
Nobody has made 3 million dollars fighting fundora. Fact, not my opinion
Middleweight is there for the taking and nobody is taking it. The division is dead.
Jermell, Thurman and Errol should have came back at 160 a long time ago and picked off Adames or Lara. It was all pbc
Hope you’re right. Cruz is 30. Part of the reason why he was fast-tracked is because he hasn’t got much time to develop as a pro before his prime evaporates.
That's true
Canelos done. He isnt the man that stood toe to toe with GGG. He isnt the man that survived v Bivol. He is now the man that was beaten up by a super welter, Bud Crawford.
Bud v Bivol at Super middle should now be run. Bivol said he can make the weight. Lefts see how Bud handles that before we bestow ATG on him..
Bud is retired remember?
bivol has a mandatory, a trilogy and a undefeated Benavidez all waiting on him and you want him to leave light heavyweight....smh
Very disappointed in the outcome of this fight. I didn’t see it, so I’ll have to catch the replay, but Cruz is one of those guys I thought was just about a lock for a world title. I’m sure he still has hopes, but this obviously raises questions.
It doesn't raise questions. The fight was super close. And that's with only 6 pro fights.
Experience is the reason andy loss. Not talent. Just like when Loma loss to salido.
whatever system is in place it needs to stop someone like canelo holding up an entire division if he wont fight the best guy or guys people like him are pandered too too much and that cant change with people like the wbc doing the pandering the wba are hopeless as well and they are the so called top belts so what hope is there i dont see any
having 1 champ would be better overall i would say, the camp can say im the champ instead of lots of mini champs all claiming people are avoiding them well if there is one champ hes the only one that can claim that and have being the champ giving some cash benefits as well make it very prestigious to get the top guy status and u have to fight the top guys to do it like ufc do that so boxers will have more loses on their records but who cares they all lose evetntally anyway when they stop ducking each other good boxers lose fights to different styles who they avoid if they can
1 champion means guys wont ever get a title shot at any point in there careers. The line is to long
Jermall vs Resendez should be the fight pbc makes.
It should have already happened in 2025. They both won on the same card almost 8 months ago. And neither has fought since in the same division
HBO would have made that fight immediately back in the day. Boxing Is declining because the automatic fights aren't being made anymore
I know this is petty, but I'll always be grateful to Benny for ending the career of Boo-boo.
I thank him for ending canelos career. Made canelo duck right into a Crawford azz whooping
I'm not asking for much
Benavidez vs Bivol/Beterbiev winner 175
Haney vs Garcia/Barrios winner unification 147
Hitchins vs Keyshawn 140
Inoue vs Nakatani 122
Boots vs Ortiz 154
Tank vs Shakur/Teo winner 140
This is an absolute lie. Vergil sells out Texas AND Vegas. While Bootsy has only fought in Philly and had to comp 25% tickets that half the comps didn’t even show up lmao. Just look at Ortiz’s last fight. It was a who’s who in attendance all the way in Dallas Fort Worth so please stop making up lies. Bootsy has fought cab drivers his whole career he’s not worth more than 30/70 Ortiz vs fundora is a wayyyy bigger fight. Only hardcore know who Bootsy is because of his myth but he’s never been in a big fight his whole life and he’s almost 30. Dude is basically the next Demetrius andrade
Where is the lie?
Boots did 14k attendance against avaynesan. Ortiz has never done 14k attendance as a main event anywhere in the world. Fact. Not an opinion.
Bring facts when you talk to me. Not opinions and narratives. So again. Post 1 fight with Ortiz headlining and doing more numbers than that? I'll wait
And Just so you know. Dickies arena holds 14000 max. Thats where he just fought lubin. It wasn't 14k people there.
Facts over your opinion
And you're the liar. You say Ortiz sold out vegas. When was that?
Ortiz has 3 vegas fights. Fredrick Lawson, Thomas durlohme, sergi boachuk...where is the Vegas sellout? Bring facts please
damn not even Buff Guy Artur v Top Soviet Bivol part 2?
was only 30 u$d from what I remember
that counts and more
Going to the restaurant and returning home that time costs more than outright buying the pay per view!
The price point doesn't matter to me. $30 or $80. I'm not buying if it's not a fight I'm hype about.
I bought bivol vs beterbiev 1 and that didn't make me wanna buy a rematch. Good fight, but it wasn't Barrera vs morales where I had to buy the rematch
Boots should accept 45% (nothing less than 40%) because he did turn down an offer to fight Vergil, and went and fought Stanionis instead. Boots also has to know that no one sells more than Vergil @ 154! So Boots should humble himself, and then go put belt 2 azz!
Boots sells more than ortiz. Vergil has never main evented with 10k people in attendance. And he's a zero time champion.
No way ortiz derserves a bigger split
Not one fighter will stand up and say "I love Bob Arum, he was great for my career." Not one. Arum worked with (or milked) hundreds of fighters.
Tim Bradley
Its a bad look on tyson fury if jake paul had the balls to fight aj where fury priced himself out
How did fury price himself out when he's the guy who's made the bigger purses?
Stop this silly nonsense brother. Those fights were hugely promoted on social media everyday of your waking hour. Images were being splashed on Youtube, twitter, facebook, websites, etc. This site alone was promoting them for two months leading to fight day. And you want me to believe not a single one of you watched those fights?
Okay, what about the Madrimov vs Crawford cards which were held in the US? What's your excuse about that fight? Did you buy that fight?
Hugely promoted. And many people watched it. But American ppv buys for foreign fights are always low. And I'm telling you it's because of the fight time.
Crawford vs madrimov wasn't about time. It was a fight that shouldn't have been ppv. Madrimov had barely fought on tv. He had no name. So thats a terrible comparison.
And no I didn't buy it. It wasn't ppv worthy but Bivol vs Beterbiev is ppv worthy. but I'm telling you a 11am start will never pay off big numbers in the U.S.
Hardcore fans will watch anytime. Casuals wont
That's not debatable.
Are you watching the main event at 4pm? If the answer is yes then why are you not buying the ppv timing doesn't matter if you are going to watching it regardless right (this is obviously aimed at people who will still watch uk and saudi events, which i know a lot do cause they be tweeting along)
Yes. I would buy a 4pm fight. But I don't count. I'm a hard-core fan. I watch inoue fight bums at 7am. Casuals dont
Casual fans in america will never buy morning ppvs. It don't matter how much hype you see on social media.
So expect to see low buys for this card just like the first one.
