Comments Thread For: With Errol Spence Jnr out, Sebastian Fundora to turn to others and likely March 29 date

[crimsonfalcon07]

Why did he have to wait for Spence I’m confused? Why would he do that? No one wanted to see that fight, Spence hasn’t fought in years and coming off a devastating loss, has no trainer and hasn’t trained in years. Why would fundora even entertain such nonsense when there’s been several fights he could’ve taken. You brought up bud and the WBO. The same WBO that he wasn’t gonna defend against Spence anyways? Now he’s fighting some scrub instead. He’s holding the belts hostage refusing to fight anyone. I like fundora, always have, but I hope they feed him to bek or Ortiz jr next I wanna see him get destroyed and those 2 will do a number on the towering bumferno

Here's the timeline.

Bud petitioned for and got a WBO title shot, and got his fight with Madrimov turned into an interim title bout. That meant Bud had the right, through the WBO, to a title shot, and if Fundora fought someone else, he'd lose his WBO belt to Crawford without even a fight. Right now, as Crawford is subsidized by Turki, that's a comparatively big money fight. So he was forced to wait for Bud while Bud was playing stup1d waiting games with his Canelo fetish.

Once the WBO got sick of Bud's delaying, he became eligible to take a voluntary fight, and Spence had gotten in the ring after Fundora beat Tszyu and challenged him. Since Spence is one of the biggest names known to casuals and fans, being a former P4P stalwart, he's a bigger money opponent for Fundora than anyone else in the division, and is a relatively soft touch coming off his devastating loss. Plus, he's a PBC darling, and the higher ups at PBC thought they could use him to sell another PPV. Realistically, he's the only opponent besides Crawford that they have in house at PBC that could be a PPV main event for Fundora. Tim Tszyu screwed any possibility of a rematch by about the rematch to take on Murtazaliev, and then getting smashed. Murtazaliev is injured, Ortiz and Bohachuk fought in the interim and all are with rival promoters and too dangerous for PBC to risk without a belt to go along with it. So who, exactly, is the PBC fighter at 154 that's a safer and better money fight than Spence?

Fundora is having a drawn out 15 minutes of fame. You know as well as I do that he's the easiest belt holder in the division, and as a prizefighter, he's going to want to maximize the purses he can get as champion. And, for my part, I think he should. Spence would have been a good payday, and it's not his fault that Spence decided to hold him up with negotiations and backing out last minute, just as he did repeatedly with Bud. He was ready to face Bud, but Bud spent months not taking the shot he petitioned for. None of that is on Fundora.

I am not big on zayas who has been feasting on bums. But if you think he would beat Fundora why hasn't he pushed for a legit title fight ? That have been grooming that boy for 4 years now and still no title shot lol. He should be ready in 2025 right?

You’re weird. Grooming for 4 years? He’s 22. He’ll be fighting for a title soon he’s not some goofy 28 year old prospect like bootsy ennis lol

Fundora deserves no sympathy. Fundora is a PBC sucker.

No sympathy at all. I blame him and his crew for waiting for nothing, wasting his prime just like other PBC fighters. Waiting, waiting, waiting, that's all they do majority of their time.

What a tragedy. Fundora has been waiting for nothing after all. And he had to wait instead of looking for someone to stay active. All that waiting is a complete utter waste of time in a sport where longevity doesn't last.

Funny part was just weeks ago Crawford and Spencer were fighting over Fundora. Only to be snubbed when the fight is ordered. It's all fake. Crawford in particular would have gotten over the fight and still have all the time in the world for Canelo if he fought Fundora by the end of last year.

Fundora deserves no sympathy. Fundora is a PBC sucker.

he looked great vs ugas and garcia and that was after the car crash
amazing how he became this poor soul only after getting the beating he ran from for many years
bud crawford is the reason spence is damaged goods

facts.

1. Was the poster boy until he went and negotiate a fight directly with Crawford and lost. Like I stated.

2. Base on my information that you still didn't debunked. That fight was never official and that's what Fundora promoter and Spence wanted. Nobody from pbc stated that fight was going to happen and it didn't happen because it never was going to happen. The fight made no sense.

1. That's absolutely ridiculous. No fighter in pbc negotiations for themselves. Aside from having managers and advisor( which is haymons official title) they still can't get the greenlight til the man says so. Idk how that's so hard to understand.

2. Information isn't fact so I'm glad you chose that word wisely. Nothing to debunk. Pbc was for the fight til the fans and wbo weren't so that's why it didn't go thru. That simple. Not to mention spencerina doesn't even have a trainer.

Errols Twitter account. Hes been saying he has not heard anything from pbc since the Crawford fight. PBC fighters have been fighting on none pbc events.

Ok so it doesn’t mean their on bad terms , he just hasn’t heard from Uncla Al
That's nothing new as I recall in the past other PBC fighters saying the same thing
awhere did you get the story that Spence went behind Uncle Al’s back to get the deal done ???
Funny cause it was promoted by PBC

I feel for Spence he was one of my favorites to watch. He was the 2nd best at 147 next to Crawford and if Crawford wasn’t around, he would’ve been #1 at the time.

I hope he does well with whatever he does.

He won’t fight zayas cause zayas will beat him. Fundora proving he’s a lucky win by avoiding any fights
