Comments Thread For: If Vergil Ortiz has to turn elsewhere... Jermell Charlo?

[kiaba360]

If the fight can't happen with Ortiz and Ennis, as long as Ennis fights a name, I'm good with that. If it is someone a ittle above a Charlo-type level fighter. But the last guy Ennis fought is not acceptable. Heck, Ortiz and Ennis against Murazaliev, winner of Baraou/Zayas, Fundora, heck even Thurman, Adams, Walsh, Ellis, Bohachuk, Madrimov, (Ortiz already fought those two) and Veron who just had a big win, and Lucero who is fighting machine from the looks of it - all these guys should fight each other too to see who rises up. Point is, can't wait on two fighters when there are so many great matchups as those mentioned here. Lets see who sends Thurman and Charlo and Spence out to pasture, though Ortiz and Ennis should leave those two up to others to do the deed, not them. Maybe one of those three could cause an upset against others in the division but they are long in the tooth. Not sure at all about Tsyzu with his recent downfalls.

Hearn has already hinted that Kelly/Murtazaliev could be next for Ennis; Ennis' next fight needs to be for a title and nobody else. The same could be said for Ortiz. It feels like Team Ortiz is actively delaying the title shot.

Everybody knows you can pay Jermell to lose

Yeah, send Charlo the contract so he can begin some tortuous negotiations of his own which drag on for months. How about cancel the pointless Fundora - Thurman fight and make Fundora - Oritz: two actual TBRB top ten guys in the sport's most competitive division.

Let the hasbeens Thurman, Spence and Charlo fight each other if anyone is interested.

But see that would makes sense and produce competitive fights people want in short order! We can't have that now.

this whole boots ortiz shaziz and now the law suit reeks of some weird setup

are they all trying to say that noone on was talking to noone about what they wanted on the ortiz team to their PROMOTER as in what they are willing to accept as in what the bottom line is

ortiz i assume said to de la hoya i want this fight so oscar MUST have known this and before he called it off he woudl have said something to them about it or they would have said something to oscar if u want a fight u make the fight simple as that having boots potentially get 35% split on a loss is probably not the best deal for him it could be improved if ortriz and his team WANT the fight so instead of suing they could just say to oscar lets sweeten the deal here oscar and make the figh thappen its all wrong im afraid somwhere

[MUNG]

if ortiz wants to make the boots fight all they had to do was say no oscar lets offer 45 55 straight up with ortiz getting 55 that would put it up to boots to accept that pretty good offer and if boots didnt then thats on him he didnt really want the fight but now it looks like ortiz really really does not want the fight at all and now wants out of he very good contract, oscar has got him great fights and cash and ortiz profile has risen with him, very poor stuff

[MUNG]

ortiz suing oscar just cos oscar tried to get the best deal he coudl for ortiz and even big fights with other opponents too if it falls through does not make any any sense at all, is ortiz saying oscar REFUSED to budge on his offer even after ortiz said to him i want this fight lets make it happen and oscar said NO lol that didnt happen oritz is playing to a different beat here and its not a good one bailing out on a promoter who is doing very well for u and could easily make this fight if ortiz instructs him on the split like he can do as oscar is the promoter the FIGHTER makes the final call so its on the boxer that this is happening at all
