A-side/B-side nonsense don't matter. A championship fight that is gonna draw world attention should be fair and equitable to both fighters - period. The AJ/Hearn nonsense was none of that ... it really is mindless for anyone to insist that a champion fighter should accept any old contract with any kind of blatant unfair and demeaning conditions in it. If a fighter CHOOSES to sign it (for their own reasons) okay, fine ... he signed a bad deal (knowingly by choice). But, if they choose to pass honestly we should all applaud. As fans we should want championship fights to be good deals for the fighters. No fan should be mouthing about a fighters skill, heart, or desire based on said fighter not signing a bullsheet contract. That would be a fan-girl talking. Not a fan, nor an educated adult.
As educated adults, and fight fans, we should want every fighter to get a fair contract, based on the risks and inevitable damage fighters suffer doing their craft.
I'm not anti-AJ or anyone else. But BS is BS. I never remember an opponent of Ali bringing a stinking contract to the public's attention as a complaint. They must have gotten a "reasonable" and decent contract for the time. That's called respecting your opponent, your trade, and ultimately yourself. Particularly in highly anticipated world event types of fights.
BS is BS ... all fans should call it like it is, no matter who you like. Only kids and ignorant people wear blinders when it comes to business (and "root" for their favs regardless) Fight fans want everyone to win and be well in the BUSINESS of the fight.

Originally posted by kafkod View PostPovetkin and Ortiz both failed PED tests while training to fight Wilder and they were both cleared after investigations.
Wilder rescheduled his fight with Ortiz, but he didn't do that with Povetkin, even thought it would have been a bigger fight financially. Everybody with a brain knows why Wilder wanted to fight King Dung but not Sasha.
The BScene low IQ club were calling Povetkin the most dangerous HW in the world when Deontay was about to fight him. Breazeale doe

Originally posted by Ake-Dawg View PostDon't make ***** up bro. Nobody called Povetkin the most dangerous HW outside of Povetkin fans. Also, Povetkin was a mando, got suspended, then was ordered to fight an eliminator upon release from suspension. Where he quickly got suspended again for PEDs. When exactly was supposed to offer him a voluntary shot? Why would a champ take a voluntary in his opponents backyard since that's the only place where Wilder could make more money than he got fighting Ortiz?
And there would have been no need for him to go to Russia for a voluntary. Are you saying Ortiz was some kind of big name who brought more money and fans to the table than Povetkin? That's nonsense.

So are you suggesting that Povetkin fight would have made more money than the Ortiz fight? Enough money to drop the legal battle Team Wilder has against Ryabinsky and Povetkin for the 2016 meldonium cancellation?

Originally posted by 5000boxing View PostIt was the same attitude he had a couple years ago when asked about fighting Wilder. He said on his terms, maybe 2020.. whenever he has the best chance to beat him.. lol. I removed him from the small pile of fighters I respect. What is wierd.. back 2015 I removed Wilder when he said he wouldn't fight Ortiz bc of past.. but was willing to travel to russia to fight Povetkin.. I was pissed.. but then Povetkin pissed hot, and then the guy from polland pissed hot.. then bermaine stiverne became mandatory after one fight against derrick Rosay.. an the goes to fight Povetkin.. then he pissed hot again.. then Wilder paid Stiverne step aside money.. to fight Ortiz.. I put Wilder back on my list of respected fighters., but then Ortiz pissed hot.. forcing the stiverne rematch.. who Wilder brutally koed.. then a "voluntary" against Ortiz.. the boogeyman of the division? Hell yeah AJ scared.. lol.
