Comments Thread For: Stanionis-Ortiz: Golden Boy Promotions ($2,300,000) Secures Rights To WBA 'Regular' Welterweight Title Fight

Stanionis' promoter Richard Schaefer will be dealing with GBP for the first time in years.

Looking forward to this one. I got Ortiz, probably by decision because I think Stanionis has a great chin. WAY better fight than Boots vs Karen. Will we actually get Spence vs Thurman? I hope so. Otherwise - to go along with people talking about unstrap season here - we'll have 3 new belt holders if Spence decides to vacate. Maybe we'll get a shock where Spence is able to bypass Thurman and go straight into a fight with Bud in February. Honestly, as much as Keith is my boy, Spence-Crawford in February is the fight that SHOULD take place.

Will Al block this fight too?

Good fight. Props to Ortiz if he goes through with it.

I could have sworn I read that WBA was getting rid of those "regular" belts. Who wants to be a regular champ?

This lame is being overpaid if the WBA follows through with the 75/25 split… Im sure GBP will challenge the split percentages..

You mean like how he blocked Jermall v Jamie at the last sec.... o wait that was Oscar. Oh yeah like how he's trying to block the fight between Tank v Ryan that's already made by offering Tank a new deal..oh wait thats Eddie. Damn if you idiots can ever come up with a real scenario where Al blocked a fight I would love for you to show the receipts. Dumb azzes

The idea is that they will get rid of this one too and the winner will be mandatory for spence unless he vacates. In that case, the winner would be upgraded to the full champion.

Good fight! I got Ortiz winning the war of attrition. Decision or even late stoppage if a fight breaks out.

Decent pay check for Stanionis. Happy for him. Both guys better be ready... Gonna be a tough fight.
