Comments Thread For: Ramirez on Prograis Title Shot: 'Pisses Me Off... That I'm Being Thrown Under the Bus'

[Wacked_Out]

I bet the people of Houston and Louisiana would bring in just as many fans as Fresno.

But why the hell should Prograis agree to getting less money? Cause he's the nicest guy in the world or just a ****** businessman? He's the champ. That's just what it is.

What do you mean less money? Ramirez is willing to do 60/40 in Prograis’ favor. And if Ramirez is willing to accept 1mil at 60/40, Prograis would be making 1.5 at least and that would be a career high.

Ramirez threw his own dam self under the bus with a clear duck. He's never had a problem with the purse split when he was the champion. Now he's on the other side of a title fight and it's a problem. At the end of the day he's knows skills pays the bills and Prograis is going to whoop his slow ass

Hes right. He fought taylor who beat prograis so he is certainly not ducking.

But maybe now he feels he can’t afford another loss to another top fighter, so he is avoiding it..

There was a a lot more on the line for an undisputed fight, and that makes the reward bigger than the risk, but he probably knows this one is just as risky but less reward than the Taylor fight

it’s a duck.

I was a big Ramirez fan. I watched his fights during the Olympics and went on to see him fight in Fresno a few times. He has skill and love his boxing style. But dude, you all have to stop with this bs about the money and the splits and A and B side. Prog is the Champ period. Fight the Champ, beat the Champ, you become Champ. Easy as that. No more excuses Bro. You are a fighter, then fight.

Exactly.

No one wants to hear these constantly changing excuses. The wedding, the purse split, Bob Arum doe...

Just STFU and fight the champ and beat him. If you even can.
