it may not be the coolest thing....it may not do well
I would have loved to see Ortiz fight AJ...but I understand it
this is still a reactionary move from fury pulling out of the rematch
haymon is thinking to himself..."I have no idea when fury will want to fight us...I have no idea when hearn/AJ are going to come to us with a US ppv in vegas(the most money generated for everyone and most sensible way to handle this)...im going to need something in my pocket"
like I said...it may not be a great fight..might not sell well...but Ortiz would get a pretty good guarantee with some upside...hell likely take home what he would have with hearn(haymon may be overpaying in this case but hell have to).....they will run highlights of Ortiz having wilder in "trouble" while promoting it....
this probably would never be happening if arum didn't weasel his way in and block the wilder/fury rematch.......wed have that already and prob be getting Ortiz/AJ right now
