"I think he was hoping that, I said I was going to go for (Luis) Ortiz, and then he could fight (Alexander) Dimitrenko, which was the next one down."- Dillan Whyte

I was kind of hoping for the same thing!!!

I thought Pulev was waiting for the purse bid because he'd get a 75/25 split under IBF rules, as opposed to doing a deal in advance of that for a lesser percentage?

translation ' please do not let me fight Ortiz'

"Please, Pulev. Hurry up and sign. Don't make them force me to fight Luis Ortiz."

Doubt they want to sell a ton of the tickets at the 02 and give 75% to Pulev, who really isnt going to be bringing in much money.

Yeah, I presume they'd hoped to come to an agreement for a more realistic share.

I wonder how much revenue a full Bulgarian arena or stadium generates? Somehow I doubt it's quite as much...

How on earth is he talking and he won’t fight Ortiz to get a shot at Wilder lmao.
