Seeing that Wilder is a huge favorite against Ortiz does this mean

Sounds good to a layman, but it's propaganda. Fans need to stop taking everything Hearn says at face value. He's a promoter. His job is to lie for a living. That is his primary focus.
Haymon and Hearn actually sat down face to face (Finkel was there as well). Money was not the issue. The real pros know what what these fights are worth and what the realistic splits are. AJ/Parker was always going to be two thirds/one third. Hearn & Haymon both realize AJ/Wilder is a 60/40 fight, maybe 62/38 with AJ picking up another belt.
The money was not the hold up. The hold up was simple. Hearn didn't want the fight yet. Claiming it would be worth far more at the end of the year than it would be at the beginning. Which is 100% true and Haymon & Finkel both realize that.
But here's the problem. What if Hearn doesn't intend on doing the fight at the end of the year or doing the fight at all? And just wanted Showtime's options to run out so he could leverage AJ into HBO giving him a dozen dates a year? That's not something SHO can match because they have too much tied up in Haymon to give Hearn a date every month.Comment

Are you sayin Frazier had more technical skill then Ali?That power in the heavyweight division beats "technical skill" and people are starting to realize that. Let's take George Foreman vs Joe Frazier. One could argue that Joe was more skilled than George but George's strength and power was the difference maker. Same could be said for Ali and Frazier 1. These are just a few examples where the most skilled heavyweight ended up losing the lesser skilled hw but with much more power. Will Wilder and Ortiz be the same way?Comment
