He said, she said, who cares.

If promoters just promoted & were not involved in contracts the fight would have happened already.
Bud had to call Spence personally make that fight or it would have never happened, the promoters again were useless.

I'm getting sick of promoters making the once great sport of boxing all about them. At least bitd Don King made the fights.

It seems the Saudi guy is willing to lose money so Ortiz won’t be with GB. Trying to get rid of all American promoters make boxing Saudis Arabia . They already own part of tiki tok , Warner if the paramount. Merger gets approve . The ignorant people that voted for Trump thinking he will put America first .

To pay Ortiz 3 million for the Ennis fight is criminal

Neither of them is a star. What do you think is fair? Something between 3-5 Million is a decent payday at that stage. Anything above 6 Million is too much and will result in a financial loss. If they want more money before they fight they both should do two more fights. Ortiz taking out the winner of Spence vs Tzyu and then winner of Thurman vs Fundora. Ennis getting Kellys and Zayas belts.

All belts on the line and more important with dominant performances against top opposition/big names they make some more noise and growing their profil.

At this point both parties should just accept it's best to not continue the business relationship.

It is rough, sometimes it's more the promoter's fault, other times the fighter and his team, or a combination of that. The feeling of betrayal is strong on either side. Look at Eddie and Conor Benn.

A lot of hate for Oscar while most don't know that Virgil's manager is a fraud looking to cash out wherever he can. Virgil is getting horrible advice from his manager. Despite this and the lawsuit, Oscar is STILL willing to work with Virgil if he dumps that terrible manager. We'll see how it plays out. Oscar brought receipts. Virgil and his father were all cool with Oscar up to even this past December. The fact that it turned south so quickly let's you know he's getting advice from an outsider.

Like i said. A bunch of nothing just in time to duck Boots

[The D3vil]

Translation:

Oscar believes Boots is going to beat Ortiz & kill one of his last cash cows since Canelo left & Ryan is inconsistent.

I said when the s h i t started that Ortiz was trying to get away from GB because the shiek tol him he'd pay crazy money just to see it. The shiek wants nothing to do with Oscar because he has become a delusional i d i o t.
