Why doesn’t Zayas fight Bakhram?

[ShoulderRoll]

He won’t fight Vergil Ortiz in Las Vegas on PPV for 50/50 purse split.

Bakhram would surely fight him in Puerto Rico and likely won’t command a big purse.

is vergil demanding no rehydration clause for the zayas fight?

154 is a mess. Nobody wants to fight nobody.

no one wants to fight bakhram because although he has a title, he isnt a seller, if you gonna get your ass whopped then better not do it cheap. i think a lot of these fighters are worried after seeing bakhram destroy tims boxing career

Weird to think that Bakhram isn't a seller considering how viscerally violent his knockdowns and knockout of Tim was. Adonis Stevenson went from a nonseller to seller overnight with just one punch. It just proves that Bakhram has a bad promoter.

Murtazaliev has a small promoter in Kathy Duva. Duva's decline is one of the effects of HBO's departure.

As for the OP, Murtazaliev/Zayas would be the ideal match-up. One issue is that the IBF has already ordered Murtazaliev to face Kelly. Also, TR has not been keen on making unifications. Third, we don't know what their budget is because they're in between networks.

I doubt he would even want a piece of Tim Tzsyu let alone Bakhram who beat Tzsyu in a devastating fashion.

kelly is the highest ranked challenger for ibf and wbo belts without a meaningful win. interesting. wbo should order zayas - kelly. then kelly can swiflty chose between zayas and murtazaliev. after him is ennis, who went wba route, lubin, who went for ortiz, and then there's bohachuk. if kelly wants bakhram, wbo should order zayas - bohachuk next month. that's a good fight. but nooooo. everybody just loves to wait and do nothing for months.

You think Zayas/Ortis was gonna be a ppv fight? Naw, just another bluff from Oscar. Zayas/Bakhram would be good fight though.

It’s not necessary, only the IBF has a rehydration clause. Zayas has the Bob Arum belt…oops, I mean the WBO belt.
