Comments Thread For: Wilder Manager Updates on Talks To Fight Ortiz, Joshua, Fury

[diplo]

FACT: that fight did not happen in 2010 because Pac (bizarrely) refused to undertake random blood tests

FACT: Mayweather took whatever fights he wanted, Haymon worked for him

I never suggested Mayweather ever ducked anyone. He's a GOAT.

Are you suggesting Pacquiao ducked Mayweather then. The same Pacquiao who had literally fought everyone before. Including prime Cotto, Margarito, Bradley, Marquez etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

And yeah, technically Haymon works for all his fighters. None of them work 'for' him, if you want to be pedantic. What's your point.

Agree. Finkel said two weeks for an announcement.

Finkel is a well known liar. I don't doubt he has had discussions with Skipper, but that don't mean anything. I didn't mean anything when they all met with him before.

Why have Ortiz in the ring?

Don't fall for it. It's not going to happen and AJ/Hearn will get the blame yet again.

Even though Wilder in his post fight interview TOLD everybody to be patient and that they are waiting to get the most money.

[diplo]

Why does anyone even pay any attention to what Finkel says? He may as well just fart into a microphone.

I love how bemused Ortiz looked in the ring.

Translation: "See, I'm doing something. Don't blame us."

or, "Showtime is losing a lot of money and can't afford to stick with our plan." (Meaning, Luis Ortiz rematch, then Kownacki, then Ortiz again...)


Don't know what to make of this article. Finkel wants to be in control, but Wilder's star power is still lacking, thus no choice but to start reaching out on the other side of the street.

Dont spend your PPV $$$ on Fury, Joshua and Wilder until they fight each other. Stream or download or boycott. These promoters and managers are convinced there is bigger money in fighting bums thus minimizing risk. If the fans take away their PPV $$$ unless it’s the big fight, this will change.

There is no blame that should be assigned to either side. That's the problem...folks gotta take sides or place blame.

EVERYONE knows Arum and Pacquiao avoided that fight

funnily, around 2013-2014..... when it became REALLY obvious that they were avoiding Mayweather, the pacfans started to say that they were BOTH at fault LMAO

Manny could have taken that fight whenever he wanted..... nobody else had a problem taking those harmless blood tests

blaming Mayweather, for a inexplicable decision that was made by Pacquiao..... is insane

[Nightfall]

Fury has psychological problems from Wilder almost decapitating him and will never rematch. Joshua is mentally weak and hiding behind Hearn. Like it or not it's true simple and plain.

[OPS]

Ortiz name should not be in the mix to fight Wilder again. I can see him fighting Fury or AJ. What would AJ look like fighting Braezeal again. Braezeal fight was intriguing between he and Wilder to see if Wilder could knock him out much sooner. Wilder fighting Ortiz is like beating a dead horse. It's sad the Boxing fans have to wait and settle for futile mediocre fights. The state of boxing is horrible. One fan here said it best, unless Fury, Wilder, and AJ are fighting via paper view, dont buy the fight.

EVERYONE knows Arum and Pacquiao avoided that fight

No, EVERYONE doesn't know that. Ok give me reasons why they avoided that fight. FACT: Mayweather had more to lose.
