Pay SSR to step aside. Either way SSR is still in the mix.

But paying him smells just like a duck.

No, it smells like the adult thing to do for three older fighters trying to maximize their potential before retirement.

I don't agree that Estrada/Choco 3 is as big a draw as Estrada/Rungivisai 3. Here's the thing.

With Srisaket, a GOOD promoter should be able to sell the rise and fall and rise of Rungvisai, tell the story of his frustration after fighting the wrong strategy in the second fight (which he has admitted to), tell the story of how damn close that fight was, how long he's been waiting for redemption, how Estrada lost every round Srisaket fought southpaw, how this guy Srisaket is easily the biggest threat to Estrada's titles because he's the guy that put the-then P4P guy to sleep in brutal fashion. And he wants his title back plus to prove to the world that he is the best.

Then, you book Choco against Cuadras, who also wants revenge, on that undercard. Both guys on the co-main coming off losses to the main event. Winner fights whoever comes out on top of the main event.

You call the whole event UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Redemption.

Profit.

Hahaha, you make a good case and might even be right. But it doesn't seem like Hearn sees it that way and he seems determined to drive the momentum towards an immediate Gonzalez fight.

Thanks.

Finish off that Trilogy because it is a strong possibility Sor could ruin it all and defeat Estrada especially if he gets him coming right off this recent WAR with Gonzalez. I like Estrada, one of my favorites to watch but Sor was a tough fight for him and will be even tougher in the rematch just like Gonzalez recently was
