Comments Thread For: Wach Withdraws From HBO Bout With Bryant Jennings

[molinari]

Adamek is ready to step up for Wach, he said that in the interview for polish TV. Dont know if Wach was getting paid enough for Adamek to fight for the same amount tho.

Damn shame Jennings career is getting stalled once again. He's had fights with Wlad, Adamek, and Wach all fall through this year.

When was he ever seriously thought of as an opponent for Wlad? LOL

Adamek again wasn't a done deal if I remember correctly, Wach is the only step up, a slight one at that, that these American hypejobs were willing to take.

I like Jennings, think he's the most skilled of American heavies but he has fought absolutely no body for so long.

I hope this Wach fight can get made on a later date.

Jennings turned down $100000 to face pulev in an IBF eliminator. thompson ended up taking the fight.

What special is to fight on HBO these days.. They're not paying fighters properly while doing very well in the ratings.

$40K for Mago!? $350K for Gennady!? Crying Lampley $5M/year..

none were American & they were getting exposure. i think perez got only $30000. you do have a point with magomed... HWs don't get paid like they use to...

Wasn't Jennings wanted by Showtime for Wlad,for chief support for their Mayŵather fight the same night ? Jennings refused the cheap offer so K2 elected for Pianeta who is a better known Germany within the German scene,RTL encouraged that one I believe.his stock was relatively high at the time due to wins over McCall and Botha,obviously faded versions,but well thought of guys at one time,all the same.

I think 100k was the purse Kalle won,so it'd have inky been 25k for Jennings and his team,not that I condone a duck whether its regarding money or not,but Jennings could have had 100k guaranteed for bypassing Pulev and electing to face Wlad as his optional defence !

I totally agree with you guys opinion wise,but there are underlying issues here that I felt needed light shining on them.

I myself like Jennings,and really wanna see him v Wach,interestingly Adamek name has been thrown in to face Wach now,that'd be ppv back home for them both,football stadium event too.Wach has every right to avoid Jennings pre or post contract with Jennjngs if a fight of that magnitude is feasible.Adamek if he has expressed a desire for that fight i believe will follow through on his word.lets see if Wach expresses a desire to make it,it sounds promosing,if Admaek and now Wach are withdrawing from this and that.

Maybe Glazkov was deemed too much a threat,I know folk aren't big on Glazkov but I actually rate him highly,made that is vain hope.Malik Scott made him look ordinary,but I also believe Scott was thoroughly outboxing Chisora before stoppage.

Put Wilder in, the guy needs some real fights.

No. HBO was interested in having Wlad be on Floyd's undercard against Jennings. But Floyd ended up switching networks and Showtime had no interest in buying a Klitschko fight.

Ok I assumed with it being Floyd's last fight it was definitely Showtime has he now has the 5 fight deal from the original 6.so after this Floyd turned away from HBO and signed with Showtime until the end of his career ? I hope he faces Manny before he retires,if he answers that question before he retires,his detractors will have to give him his props.I dont care what people say about him ducking a prime Manny and waiting for him to decline,like they were saying he was fighting Canelo before he peaks,I dont buy into hear'say,all I know is if both fighters want it,it will happen,the sooner the better for Manny as he appears to have his interest split between politics and boxing now,maybe already it is too late to make the fight,if it is this is going to be more damaging for Mayweather long term as the question mark will never have been answered and will linger forever.

I wana repeat, Jennings is the most promising American heavy, definitely the most skilled but he has Americanitis...inflammation of the hype gland
