RUMOR: Yordenis Ugas wants 50-50 SPLIT to fight Spence?

[Combat Talk Radio]

See what Crawford done started?

[Thuglife Nelo]

Why are you sharing LDBC channels doe?!

more importantly, Ugas and the many other Cuban fighters love to praise Al Haymon. Ugas is disclosing some funny financial “advisory.” He would only state 50/50 if he were recommended to... I wonder who is financial advisor is doe...

I doubt this is going to be a problem.

And Ugas would be ****** not to start from such a bargaining position.

[blowblow]

those divas wants a good payday these years.. even this belt catcher wants a 50/50 spit?

[rickJen]

Ugas is making a good financial move here.
He knows he's Spence's only choice, so why not?

Go get your money Yordi!

[sicko]

It will get worked out but unfortunately this will be PPV

[4truth]

Spence would probably rather split 50/50 with Ugas than match Crawford for any split. So there's that anyway.

Here's the problem. Ugas comes off looking ******.

How can you, with 4 losses and (basically) an "email title" (according to NSB) be worth equal to a guy who beat Top 5's for both belts he holds, is undefeated AND is a PPV draw?

I mean, I don't even put Ugas equal to Crawford at this point and I damn sure wouldn't give Crawford 50% for his resume.

No...I say, Ugas' BEST bargaining position is to say, "Uncle Al, give me whatever you think I'm worth, I want the fight" - like Floyd against De La Hoya. Period.

Negotiations are not always about how many loses or wins you had.
In this case, Ugas is the only choice Spence wants. So why not capitalize on that?
Ugas knows Spence hates the Porter rematch. He wants either Thurman or Pac.
But Thurman would be more problematic as he's expected to play hard ball on the negotiating table.
Forget about Pac. He's deep into Philippino politics as he's submerged by the current president
whose term is ending and the fighting senator may never get out of it.

Ugas is the only choice Spence prefers. Not wants. He WANTS Crawford (but Crawford has to accept B-Side) or Manny (for the payday).

He prefers to fight Ugas because Ugas has a belt.

But worst case, he can let Ugas fight Keef for that same belt, knowing Keef beats him, then fight Keef to take the belt from him in a much more lucrative fight than Ugas OR Crawford, simply because of the awesome trash talking we'll get to hear.

OR

Let Shawn rematch Ugas (which I know Shawn doesn't want), Shawn takes the belt and redeems his questionable win, Spence/Porter 2 which is an in-demand fight for big money to unify.

OR

Vergil Ortiz Jr. (who is mandatory) fights Ugas to unify WBA. Winner gets Spence.

OR

Abdukakarov who is highly ranked in three of four orgs faces Ugas. Winner gets Spence.


Spence has more options than you assume, brother.
