Is Vergil Ortiz another US diva fighter?

It just seems too many would rather stay inactive while waiting for the optimum opportunity rather than take what's on offer. I think bad advice and 'interim' baubles are contributing to this.

In the interest of fairness, I think Callum Smith's decision to sit on his WBOgus 'interim' rather than fight Benavidez is a terrible decision.

That's what boxing has become because of social media and the massive paychecks from Turki. Folks rather talk a lot on social media. Pretend that they want to face this person or that person without actually going through with it. Then sit around hoping a window opens where Turki can put together a fight that gives you retirement money for just 1 match. He's way overpaying fighters and this is contributing to the downfall of what boxing used to be.

It's almost creating a sort of celebrity boxing feel when you get these big matchups created because of the amount of money Turki is putting into them.

The worst offense is him basically guaranteeing a fighter his next fight which means he doesn't have to put in the effort for his current fight such as what we saw with Canelo vs Scull and Haney/Ryan recently. Both expected to face each other, they had a damn promo shot and put out before their matches even happened. Then look what happened.
