LFG WAR Matias !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is what you hope with these guys. That a win brings in more money.

The promoters won't be able to short change these two fighters for very much longer.
Hopefully their fight will live up to all of our expectation's, and they put on a show for the age's.
Matias is one of my favorite fighters to watch in the sport of boxing.
I'm looking forward to him having a long reign, defending against the best that the 140 pound division has to offer.

This has been bargain basement from the start. No Americans, no Eddy, no market for a sure train wreck. PPV thy name is Matias vs Ergovich. Let the bombs begin.

Matias is up there with the best. I’m biased towards Teofimo but ain’t mad at who you put top dog at 140.

Matias given his style can’t disappoint. Hopefully they bring it to SoCal.

Pbc needs to put it on the Benavidez/Andrade undercard

MISTER Gary Russell Jr. knew how to sell fights with his mouth. That's how it works in the BUSINESS of boxing.

BJ to Al Haymon.

Who has Matias beaten that makes him “up there with the best”? I’m not saying he isn’t but that’s a lofty statement considering his level of competition.

"Ergashev (23-0, 20KOs) was prepared to enter his first title eliminator but could not find a willing opponent after the IBF ran through the entire Top 15 junior welterweight rankings."

That tells you what Matias is dealing with here! This is going to be a WAR for as long as it lasts! Good luck to both gentlemen! Gary Antuanne Russell....MAN UP!

How did someone like GRJ get over 1M for fights and these guys can't? he just had a title he baby sat and fought unheralded mandatory opponents until he lost.

Some are aligned with a better promotional company with connections. It is unfair but promoters are a necessary evil.
