Anyone think Ortiz is fixed to win?

It makes sense from a business point of view for PBC and Haymon. Everything kept in house for longer.

FOX or Showtime will not have to share a PPV with ESPN for a Fury fight.

Ruiz v Ortiz potentially becomes a big deal.

A Deyonce v Ortiz rubber match might actually turn a profit.

Deyonce will not have to risk losing to out of house contenders (Whyte, Fury, AJ).

It just depends on how shady all these guys are and whether Deyonce is in on it. It's far more likely to see something strange here than what happened with Canelo/Kovalev. I mean, what happened with Deyonce getting an extra 40 seconds to recover in the first fight shows you that.

I just see no way that Ortiz can win legit when he's about 50 years old and has slowed considerably. Look out for it.

Ortiz winning would mean a rematch, which would mean no unification with Ruiz if he beats AJ again. PBC needs Wilder to win.

I think the source of the money involved means anything is possible.

I have a real feeling that we could be watching a fixed fight.
