Originally posted by Sid-Knee View PostOrtiz and his team wanted a purse bid with Whyte but Hearn refused in case Haymon won the bid and moved the fight to the states when he had already booked a date for the O2 in London. So Ortiz walked. His manager also said he wouldn't be ready for that date either.
If you want a source, look at Google. I don't know how to put links up.

Originally posted by WBC WBA IBF View PostThat's fine. Doesn't change the fact that Whyte ducked the fight. WBC ordered a final eliminator. Ortiz said yes. Whyte said no. Fighters always have reasons for ducking. If those were his reasons, lovely.

Originally posted by Sid-Knee View PostDoesn't matter if Hearn is promoter or manager, Saurland are running the show. Hearn can't tell them where to put the fight because he isn't involved.
Boxing scene are nowhere near to being as bad as the mess you wrote. So don't make excuses.

Originally posted by BIGPOPPAPUMP View PostAccording to WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, there should be no excuses from either side in the upcoming fall showdown with Tyson Fury (27-0, 19 KOs). For Fury, this past Saturday night in Belfast was only his second fight since November of 2015, when he shocked the world by defeating Wladimir Klitschko.

Originally posted by apollocreed View PostWhyte went on record saying it was unfair that he had to fight a final eliminator with Ortiz, he would have been guaranteed a shot at Wilder if he won, but he still didn’t want to face Ortiz. It was nothing to do with not getting the title shot - the winner would have got it. If he was confident of winning he would have took the fight.
If Ortiz turned down the Parker date, how soon before the fight was he offered it? I never heard about that. Was he given sample prep time? If he had a fight scheduled against a bum, that’s understandable for a come back fight after a stoppage loss, it’s standard practice in boxing, especially for heavyweights.

I doubt Fury - Wilder will happen this year, for all the reasons that have previously been detailed. Say what you want about Hearn but he was right. Fury has got people talking about him again and Wilder has got his three or four fans excited about the possibility of him having a big fight. Mission accomplished for both men. Fury will fight Chisora next and Wilder will probably fight Breazeale.

A final eliminator goes to purse bid if there's no agreement. Whyte pulled out of the fight. Plain and simple.
