And nowhere does it mention money ???So basically the fight can be stalled due to money because Oscar feels Vergil is the bigger name and he has “the man” as he put it…in Vergil…if he doesn’t get the lion’s share he’s prepared to negotiate fights with Fundora or Spence…in my opinion Bakhram Murtazaliev is the man at 154 and according to everybody’s favorite friend…ai…Oscar didn’t want the smoke with Bakhram for Vergil…IBF or no IBF rules…
Fight should be 50-50…neither guy has a belt…and will make the most money with each other…entertaining a Spence fight with all that he’s been through???…How U Gonna Do That???…
I thought money was the root of fight not happeningComment

seems like ortizs team is not happy the wbc have not called for wbc champ fundora to fight the wbc interim champ ortiz
from the wbc website
3.22 Interim Championship Rule. In special circumstances, including when the WBC in its sole
discretion declares a WBC champion temporarily unavailable to defend his title, the WBC
may sanction a bout between Qualified Challengers for an interim championship, or
otherwise recognize an interim champion in the division.
In its sole discretion, the WBC shall subsequently determine the timing and terms of any
bout between a Champion and Interim Champion to determine a sole champion in the
division, provided, however, that an Interim Champion shall never be deemed a mandatory
challenger, or entitled to greater share of proceeds of any purse offer beyond that of a
challenger, without a specific prior written order to that effect from the WBC President or
his designee
fundora has always been ready to defend his full wbc belt so why have they named ortiz interim champ i wonder?Comment

oscar is talking about car crash spence & charlo i think, i mean both of these guys are well off the pace and most likely damaged goods especially spence but i wonder will ortiz eat his words about wanting to fight the 'best' & go for one of these guys if they can organise the deal? if he does he can expect a LOT of flack, remember this ortiz bailed out of the russian belt holder ibf fight cried off after pretending he wanted the fight & then saying OH actually i dont like their weight rules actually since im a big fat guy who nearly killed myself trying to make myself the much bigger guy than my opponents at 147 & guess what im at it again at 154 lolComment

It's honestly sad that Ortiz and Boots are being treated like the best at 154. Boots beat a no hoper and he has never beaten an elite fighter or even a really good fighter. Karen took him 12 twice and Boots always gets hit and looks good but not great whenever he steps up from a B level guy.
Ortiz has a better resume but has never held a title and has flaws in his game as well.
I think Boots has the boxing ability to beat Ortiz, but he also leaves his chin out there and with Ortiz it only takes one good shot. It is an intriguing fight. But what I see happening is both Ortiz and Boots aiming for belts....Fundora and Zayas...and then if they both hold belts, they can fight. Winner fights Murt to unify.
Boots Ortiz is not a huge name recognition fight. Only hardcore boxing fans know Boots at all and they know he ducked Crawford and Ortiz at 147. Ortiz has the built in Latino fanbase so the deal is definitely weighted in his favor.Comment

Turki already made an offer which was accepted by Virgil and refused by , you guessed it , Boots
And you still haven’t answered my question , no money mentioned but I guess that f@cks up your agenda
