Comments Thread For: Stiverne-Ortiz Unlikely, Don King Refuses To Sign Off

[LA_2_Vegas]

Dammit I wanted to see this fight.

There's no hold up on the HBO side, it's Stiverne's management which is headed by Haymon. Just like when Quillin was yanked off HBO for the Korobov fight.

Al's objective is to make his boxing the only game in town. He's not going to help out his only real competition in HBO.

Smh didnt even bother reading the article...or the headline for that matter. "DON KING REFUSES TO SIGN OFF ON STIVERNE" theres ur hint

[bigdunny1]

Don King just needs to leave boxing. He's too old and just preventing his fighters from fighting. Grumpy vindictive man. Just step aside and enjoy your last few years on this earth and let real promoters handle your fighters

[wlliam]

Bruh, he's with both.

Weak source dude.

Stiverne cost his own future when he decided to party in Las Vegas instead of train seriously for Wilder.


GB needs to forget this HW crap and just get Sadam Ali a good opponent on the undercard.

They're not... I think they're sticking with Ortiz and putting him in with some no name argentinian

*** it, make Ortiz vs Arreola... id actually prefer that over Ortiz against a nobody..

Don King use to be the man when it came to putting on great cards. He especially showcased his HWs. He use to get his fighters title shots & promoted the hell out of them if they were a cash cow or winning. The downside was once you lost a few or no longer could make him money you were sitting on the sidelines like a 3rd string QB. He barely gets TV slots anymore so he should just retire. Stiverne did not help himself by playing hardball with King & then he lost to Wilder. I doubt we will see much of him for awhile. It's a shame because he isn't a bad fighter.

Arreola getting lined up with Spilzka... Ortiz isn't gonna get a nice replacement

November I think? In Newark... heard it was gonna get paired with Glovaki/Shumenov.

Just what I heard, but sounds like a plausible/decent pairing
