Comments Thread For: Manager: Adam Kownacki Not An Option To Fight Joshua On June 1

[champion4ever]

Kownacki being loyal to haymon and premier boxing champions. I love it. The man remembers where he came from. Fast Eddie must have wanted a 5 fight option contract as well.....”you are now a deadzone fighter”

Bingo you got it! Neither he or Luis Ortiz wouldn't fight AJ even if they could out of loyalty to Al Haymon and the PBC with Matchroom Sport on DAZN.

Kownacki and Ortiz refused, hope Hunter will get this fight!

Lol Hunter is completely unknown. Where does it say ortiz has refused? Havent seen anything that has actually said that or that he has demanded 10 mil (from a reliable Ortiz source)

Al Haymon must not have much faith in any of his fighters to beat AJ.... 😂🤣
Why wouldn't Al Haymon want all the Heavyweight titles under PBC???
Haymon straight protecting his fighters as always and you've got fool's and Al Haymon nuttriders like Oldschool g Happy that Al Haymon is protecting his fighters from an AJ ass whopping... 😆

Ortiz vs. Kownacki at the Barclay's! Make It Happen! Winner gets Deontay Wilder! MAN UP!

Ortiz and Kowanacki would be mad to rely on this. Breazeale might win and the WBC might mandate Whyte as Wilder's next. Wilder might also grow a pair and cash out against AJ.

Surely Haymon should be thinking about de-throning AJ rather than freezing him out?

The state of boxing is pretty sad right now

Not going to happen Haymon loves to do mismatches

That's funny! Nobody else does mismatches? What is the main event in boxing this weekend? Who are the two promoters for the fighters? Who were Amir Khan's last two opponents? Who were Terence Crawford's last two opponents? Lol! Ortiz vs. Kownacki! Let's Get it!

You are such an annoying promotion company or whatever PBC actually refers to itself fanboy lol.

Shouldnt boxers yearn for a title shot with the additional bonus of a multimillion purse?

I get why haymon would like his fighters to not fight joshua. He wants to freeze dazn out and make it more difficult for them to get a legit replacement, but isnt haymon supposed to bea manager and act in kownackis best interest?

Get out with loyalty. Kownacki is a decent fighter, but he wont ever be at the top. If hearn offers him a similar purse to millers, he would earn probably more than 10 times the amount that he earned for his last fight.

They're not "relying" on anything. Kownacki is from Brooklyn, and the Barclay's would be lit to see those two fight! East Euro vs. a Latino in Brooklyn? Easy sell! If Wilder wins, he doesn't have to fight Whyte next, b/c he's fulfilling his mandatory with Breazeale! They'll give him a voluntary, especially if it's Wilder vs. Ortiz II. If Kownacki wins, then he becomes a legit opponent, just like Miller was for AJ! In fact, if Kownacki was to beat Ortiz, he would be an even more credible opponent than Miller and Whyte! It's a win-win!

This type of attitude seems to widespread around here and I just don't get it.

Rejecting a world title fight for in your home city for bags of money and people are celebrating a "win" for Al Haymon?

Strange.

Exactly! There's ****** ass motherfuccer's on here like oldschool g endorsing this PC move ( protective custody)
And people wanna say Al Haymon is a genius.... He's a ****** ass motherfuccer if you ask me. ..
Why wouldn't he want all the heavyweight titles under PBC???
Unless he doesn't have any faith in his fighters that they can beat AJ??

Lot of heavyweights crying about not getting their big shot are now turning down their big shot.
